Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Five distinct Idarnes lineages were identified on Ficus petiolaris.
- Observation The fig-associated Idarnes lineages are distantly related and nonmonophyletic.
- Mechanism Authors infer multiple independent colonizations and subsequent diversification of fig-associated wasps.
- Observation Morphological and ecological data support wasp niche partitioning within figs.
