Schistonchus Caprifici
''Schistonchus caprifici'' is a plant parasitic nematode in the genus '' Schistonchus'' parasitizing the caprifig ('' Ficus carica sylvestris''). It is found in Spain and Italy. ''Blastophaga psenes'' is the vector of the nematode bringing it to the fig tree. This species is also transported by the cleptoparasite '' Philotrypesis caricae'' (Agaonidae The family Agaonidae is a group of pollinating and nonpollinating fig wasps.

Guglielmo Gasparrini
Guglielmo Gasparrini (3 January 1803 – 28 June 1866) was an Italian botanist and mycologist. Biography Guglielmo Gasparrini was born in Castelgrande, in the Province of Potenza. After his first studies in his native town, he moved to Naples to attend the veterinary school. Subsequently, he entered the Botanical Garden of Naples, under the guide of Michele Tenore and Giovanni Gussone. Graduating in the physical and natural sciences, he was professor of botany at the University of Naples. From 1857 to 1861, he taught at the University of Pavia, of which he was also magnificent rector (Magnífico Reitor). After returning to Naples, he was director of the Neapolitan Botanical Garden from 1861 to 1866. Gasparrini was a member of several scientific institutes such as the French Academy of Sciences The French Academy of Sciences (French: ''Académie des sciences'') is a learned society, founded in 1666 by Louis XIV at the suggestion of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, to encourage ...

Nathan Cobb
Nathan Augustus Cobb (30 June 1859, in Spencer, Massachusetts – 4 June 1932, in Baltimore, Maryland) is known as "the father of nematology in the United States". He provided the foundations for nematode taxonomy and described over 1000 different nematode species. An individual with a variety of skills, he made significant contributions to a number of scientific disciplines and the USDA Nematology Laboratory, originally established with him as the director, continues today. He was the father of Frjeda Blanchard, the geneticist who first demonstrated Mendelian inheritance in reptiles. Books by Cobb This list can be accessed via the Biodiversity Heritage Library.

Schistonchus
''Schistonchus'' is a genus of plant-parasitic nematodes in the family Aphelenchoididae. ''Schistonchus laevigatus'' and ''Schistonchus aureus'' are plant-parasitic nematodes associated with the pollinator ''Pegoscapus assuetus'' and ''Pegoscapus mexicanus'' respectively and syconia of ''Ficus citrifolia'' and ''Ficus aurea'' respectively. ''Schistonchus caprifici'' is a nematode associated with the fig pollinator ''Blastophaga psenes'', and its cleptoparasite '' Philotrypesis caricae''. ''Schistonchus macrophylla'' and '' Schistonchus altermacrophylla'' are associated with the pollinator ''Pleistodontes froggatti'' of ''Ficus macrophylla ''Ficus macrophylla'', commonly known as the Moreton Bay fig or Australian banyan, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the family Moraceae native to eastern Australia, from the Wide Bay–Burnett region in the north to the Illawarra in New ...''.

Ficus Carica Sylvestris
The fig is the edible fruit of ''Ficus carica'', a species of small tree in the flowering plant family Moraceae. Native to the Mediterranean and western Asia, it has been cultivated since ancient times and is now widely grown throughout the world, both for its fruit and as an ornamental plant.''The Fig: its History, Culture, and Curing'', Gustavus A. Eisen, Washington, Govt. print. off., 1901 ''Ficus carica'' is the type species of the genus ''Ficus'', containing over 800 tropical and subtropical plant species. A fig plant is a small deciduous tree or large shrub growing up to tall, with smooth white bark. Its large leaves have three to five deep lobes. Its fruit (referred to as syconium, a type of multiple fruit) is tear-shaped, long, with a green skin that may ripen toward purple or brown, and sweet soft reddish flesh containing numerous crunchy seeds. The milky sap of the green parts is an irritant to human skin. In the Northern Hemisphere, fresh figs are in season from lat ...

Blastophaga Psenes
''Blastophaga psenes'' is a wasp species in the genus '' Blastophaga''. It pollinates the common fig ''Ficus carica'' and the closely related '' Ficus palmata''. Without a colony or nest, these wasps breed in figs and the adults live for only a few days or weeks. They locate the fig they wish to pollinate through olfactory senses. Taxonomy and phylogenetics Mutualism occurs between fig and fig wasps, which creates a need for specific species of figs to be pollinated by specific species of wasps. The origin of mutualism is also the beginning of the fig wasp phylogeny. In the phylogenetic tree, the genus of '' Blastophaga'' and ''Wiebesia'' are very similar. Both of these genera pollinate ''Ficus'' species of figs. Description and identification ''B. psenes'' are small wasps, approximately only in length. The females are black wasps and seem shiny while the males are smaller than females. While males are wingless, females have wings that are transparent and very thin. Yet f ...

Cleptoparasite
Kleptoparasitism (etymologically, parasitism by theft) is a form of feeding in which one animal deliberately takes food from another. The strategy is evolutionarily stable when stealing is less costly than direct feeding, which can mean when food is scarce or when victims are abundant. Many kleptoparasites are arthropods, especially bees and wasps, but including some true flies, dung beetles, bugs, and spiders. Cuckoo bees are specialized kleptoparasites which lay their eggs either on the pollen masses made by other bees, or on the insect hosts of parasitoid wasps. They are an instance of Emery's rule, which states that insect social parasites tend to be closely related to their hosts. The behavior occurs, too, in vertebrates including birds such as skuas, which persistently chase other seabirds until they disgorge their food, and carnivorous mammals such as spotted hyenas and lions. Other species opportunistically indulge in kleptoparasitism. Strategy Kleptoparasitism is a fe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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] |
