Pollinator and host sharing lead to hybridization and introgression in Panamanian free-standing figs, but not in their pollinator wasps

Extraordinarily precise nematode sex ratios: Adaptive responses to vanishingly rare mating options

The paper examines sex ratio strategies in nematodes compared to their host wasps, finding female-biased and precise sex ratios in nematodes due to small mating pools and potential environmental sex determination.

Genome-wide sequence data show no evidence of admixture and introgression among pollinator wasps associated with a community of Panamanian strangler figs

The paper uses genome-wide UCE data to test for hybridization and introgression among pollinator wasps associated with Panamanian strangler figs, finding no evidence of such processes.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend: Nematode infection of pollinating and non-pollinating fig wasps has net benefits for the fig-fig wasp pollination mutualism

The paper investigates nematode infections in fig wasps and finds they negatively impact non-pollinating wasps more than pollinators, suggesting a complex ecological role.

Inferring Processes of Coevolutionary Diversification in a Community of Panamanian Strangler Figs and Associated Pollinating Wasps

The paper uses genome-wide data from Panamanian strangler figs and pollinating wasps to infer coevolutionary processes, finding pervasive host switching rather than strict cospeciation.
