🌿 Same pollen at departure, different cells on arrival. Active fig pollination triggers pronounced intracellular remodeling during wasp transport — passive pollination doesn't. A striking coevolutionary finding. 🔗 Read more: https://t.co/zkuKRdMOsh #Pollination #FigWasp

At first glance, the story of the cluster fig and pollinator wasps seems as simple as it is sweet; each species of fig and fig wasp co-evolved for each other, with only a single wasp species capable of pollinating each specific species of fig. #ClusterFig #FigWasp #Symbiosis

Angeltober #31: Most of the fig varieties we eat self-pollinate, but some are wasp mausoleums (don’t worry, the fig dissolves the wasp bodies so there’s no bug bits left) #angeltober #ultrangeltober #ultrangeltober2023 #angel #fig #biblicallyaccurateangel #figwasp #insect #art

@Bparthun @limadeltaflies Untrue! Not all figs are like that. We’re growing a Turkey fig which doesn’t have a fig wasp. But even those that do, it’s not like you’re going to bite into the thing. They’re 1.5 mm long and the fruit enzymes break them down. That said, eatin dead wasps is cool. #figwasp #yum

And here @simonsegar introducing phytochemistry across elevation in PNG at the Xth International Fig Symposium! Zoom does not compare to tropical China, but at least fig lovers had a chance to present their work on the fig- fig wasp system! #figs #figwasp

Drawings of female fig wasps made last year for my MSc thesis. The intricate interdependence between fig trees and fig wasps is genuinely one of the most fascinating species interactions in the world 🌻 #figwasp

Did you know that the #flower of the #fig grows internally in the young #fruit set, which is not yet fertilised? The fig enters into a symbiosis with the #figwasp. The wasp lays its eggs inside the blossom & fertilises it. Each fig type has its 'own' wasp species. #Lubera

#PerfectPlanet please don't let us ruin figs for you, the one you find in the supermarket, the turkey fig, is a female only fig species and doesn't need wasp pollination, so have no fear you are not eating dead wasps #figwasp
