Fig wasps described in the book are shown
below. The first image is reproduced from the appendix of Duthie et
al. (2015). The rest of the images I took myself and are not
published anywhere else; feel free to use them for educational
purposes.
Community of fig wasps associated with F.
petiolaris in Baja California, which is pollinated by a wasp of the
genus Pegoscapus (a). Five gallers shown with blue borders
include three species of Idarnes (b: LO1, c: SO1, d: SO2) and
two species of Heterandrium (e: Het1, f: Het2). Additionally, a
species of Aepocerus (g) feeds on an inner layer of F.
petiolaris syconia and is parasitised by a species of
Physothorax (h). All wasps pictured developed from the same
F. petiolaris syconium.
