Ceratosolen Solmsi

	Ceratosolen Solmsi ''Ceratosolen solmsi'' is a species of fig wasps in the family Agaonidae. It has ''Ficus hispida ''Ficus hispida'' also known as the opposite leaf Fig is a small but well distributed species of tropical fig tree. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate individuals. It occurs in many parts of Asia and as far south east as ...'' as its host, where it is parasitized by the other fig wasp '' Apocrypta bakeri''. Wasp larvae develop and hatch into mature wasps entirely within the body of the fig. Female wasps that develop in the center rather than the periphery of the fig have more mating opportunities, produce more offspring, and produce more female relative to male offspring.

	Agaonidae The family Agaonidae is a group of pollinating and nonpollinating fig wasps. They spend their larval stage inside the fruits of figs. The pollinating wasps ( Agaoninae, Kradibiinae, and Tetrapusiinae) are the mutualistic partners of the fig trees. The nonpollinating fig wasps are parasitic. Extinct forms from the Eocene and Miocene are nearly identical to modern forms, suggesting that the niche has been stable over geologic time. Taxonomy The family has changed several times since its taxonomic appearance after the work of Francis Walker in 1846 described from the wasp genus '' Agaon''. Previously the subfamilies Epichrysomallinae, Otitesellinae, Sycoecinae, Sycoryctinae, Sycophaginae, and Agaoninae were the subdivisions of the family. Recent works building strong molecular phylogenies with an extended sampling size have changed the composition of Agaonidae. First, the paraphyletic groups have been excluded (Epichrysomallinae, Otitesellinae, Sycoecinae, and Sycoryctinae) an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Ficus Hispida ''Ficus hispida'' also known as the opposite leaf Fig is a small but well distributed species of tropical fig tree. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate individuals. It occurs in many parts of Asia and as far south east as Australia. There is a large variety of local common names. Like a number of ficus, the leaves are sandpapery to touch. An unusual feature is the figs which hang on long stems. Species associated with ''Ficus hispida'' In Australia the fruit are eaten by cassowaries and double-eyed fig parrots. Phayre's leaf monkey feeds on the leaves as do the larvae of the moth ''Melanocercops ficuvorella''. The fig wasp '' Apocrypta bakeri'' has ''F. hispida'' as its host, where it parasitizes the other fig wasp '' Ceratosolen solmsi''. The yet unnamed nematode species ''Caenorhabditis sp. 35 ''Caenorhabditis sp. 35'' is a yet unnamed species of nematodes in the genus '' Caenorhabditis''. Two isolates were discovered in 2013 by N.
