“…The life history of Critogaster is particularly poorly known, yet the presence of species with very different ovipositor lengths (Bouček, 1993) indicate that they may show different life histories. The composition of the community observed here is generally similar to fig wasp communities from other the Brazilian biomes and regions (Pereira et al, 2000;Schiffler, 2002;Nazareno et al, 2007;Farache et al, 2018) A previous study on a Neotropical fig wasp community focused on NPFW species and observed de dominance of relatively generalist Idarnes species (Farache et al, 2018). However, in the present study, we observed that the interaction network established was dominated by pollinators, whilst groups showing other life histories were less abundant.…”

“…As in other sites, the fig species studied here also presented a diverse interaction with different insect species (Bronstein 1988a, b;Frank & Thomas 1996;West et al 1996;Pereira et al 2000;Schiffler 2002;Sugiura & Yamazaki 2004;Nazareno et al 2007). In urban areas in the cities of Campinas (22°54'S, 47°03'W) and Londrina (23°18'S, 51°09'W) syconia of F. citrifolia presented 15 species of insects in five crops and 14 species in eight crops, respectively (Pereira 1998).…”

RESUMO. Insetos associados aos sicônios de Ficus citrifolia no Brasil Central.Figueiras apresentam uma diversificada interação com diferentes grupos de organismos. Sua inflorescência, ou sicônio, possui características que formam um microambiente onde ocorrem as interações entre figueiras e invertebrados. Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar a fauna de insetos associados à sicônios de Ficus citrifolia, além de descrever quantitativamente o padrão de distribuição dos insetos nos sicônios, em área urbana no Centro-Oeste brasileiro. Os sicônios estavam infestados por 12 espécies de insetos. Nossos resultados mostraram que insetos encontrados em Ficus citrifolia apresentaram um padrão de ocorrência que depende da composição de espécies dentro de cada

“…Sycophaginae use chemical mediation to locate fig trees [ 49 ]. Up to 6 species of Sycophaginae can be found on the same Ficus species [ 50 - 55 ]. In most cases, these small communities are structured by the development of the syconium, the timing of oviposition (before, during or after pollination) and the feeding habits of the wasps (gallers vs. cleptoparasites) [ 50 , 51 , 56 ].…”

Phylogeny and evolution of life-history strategies in the Sycophaginae non-pollinating fig wasps (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea)

BackgroundNon-pollinating Sycophaginae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) form small communities within Urostigma and Sycomorus fig trees. The species show differences in galling habits and exhibit apterous, winged or dimorphic males. The large gall inducers oviposit early in syconium development and lay few eggs; the small gall inducers lay more eggs soon after pollination; the ostiolar gall-inducers enter the syconium to oviposit and the cleptoparasites oviposit in galls induced by other fig wasps. The systematics of the group remains unclear and only one phylogeny based on limited sampling has been published to date. Here we present an expanded phylogeny for sycophagine fig wasps including about 1.5 times the number of described species. We sequenced mitochondrial and nuclear markers (4.2 kb) on 73 species and 145 individuals and conducted maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses. We then used this phylogeny to reconstruct the evolution of Sycophaginae life-history strategies and test if the presence of winged males and small brood size may be correlated.ResultsThe resulting trees are well resolved and strongly supported. With the exception of Apocrytophagus, which is paraphyletic with respect to Sycophaga, all genera are monophyletic. The Sycophaginae are divided into three clades: (i) Eukoebelea; (ii) Pseudidarnes, Anidarnes and Conidarnes and (iii) Apocryptophagus, Sycophaga and Idarnes. The ancestral states for galling habits and male morphology remain ambiguous and our reconstructions show that the two traits are evolutionary labile.ConclusionsThe three main clades could be considered as tribes and we list some morphological characters that define them. The same biologies re-evolved several times independently, which make Sycophaginae an interesting model to test predictions on what factors will canalize the evolution of a particular biology. The ostiolar gall-inducers are the only monophyletic group. In 15 Myr, they evolved several morphological adaptations to enter the syconia that make them strongly divergent from their sister taxa. Sycophaginae appears to be another example where sexual selection on male mating opportunities favored winged males in species with small broods and wingless males in species with large broods. However, some species are exceptional in that they lay few eggs but exhibit apterous males, which we hypothesize could be due to other selective pressures selecting against the re-appearance of winged morphs.
