Biological Invasions in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin
In August, wasps enter receptive syconia of male trees and oviposit. The larvae
then develop within the syconia, overwintering within these as final instar larvae.
In spring, wasp development resumes. Adult mated females emerge from the ...

Reproductive Biology of Plants
Reproductive success of both fig and wasp depends on transmission of a very
strong signal by receptive syconia (Harrison and Shanahan 2005). Several
studies have shown that volatile compounds emitted by the receptive syconia are
...

Fields of Change: Progress in African Archaeobotany
Most species of figs in the world are monoecious (the genus Ficus has more than
600 species) and have male and female flowers within a single syconia. In Ficus
carica, the male flowers and short-style female flowers are produced in syconia ...

Hills and Streams: An Ecology of Hong Kong
The fruit—like figs (technically termed syconia) of the fig plant are, in fact, hollow

are pollinated by tiny wasps which force their way into the syconium through the ...
