The mechanism of pollinator specificity between two sympatric fig varieties: a combination of olfactory signals and contact cues

Gang Wang; Stephen G. Compton; Jin Chen Annals of Botany 2012. doi:10.1093/aob/mcs250

Other claims from this paper (8)

Observation The two fig varieties had different receptive floral scent compositions.
Observation Both pollinator species preferred entering figs of their normal hosts after walking on figs.
Observation Both pollinators could enter and pollinate both fig varieties.
Observation Figs receiving extra-varietal pollen were more likely to abort.
Observation Figs receiving extra-varietal pollen contained fewer seeds.
Observation Hybrid seeds germinated at normal rates.
Mechanism Contact cues and floral scents together maintain pollinator host specificity.
Mechanism Post-zygotic factors reduce hybrid offspring production but allow possible gene flow.

A study of symbioses between Ficus hirta and Blastophaga (B.) javana

Xiaoying Hu 2003

Other claims from this paper (8)

Observation Ficus hirta is dioecious.
Observation Ficus hirta flowers and bears fruit throughout the year, synchronously within syconia and asynchronously within trees.
Observation Female syconia average 641.2 long-styled female flowers.
Observation Male syconia average 488.2 short-styled gall flowers.
Observation Natural fruit-bearing rate is 51.37%.
Observation Natural gall-producing rate is 36.11%.
Observation Blastophaga (B.) javana pollinates F. hirta.
Mechanism F. hirta depends on Blastophaga (B.) javana pollination for sexual reproduction.
