The fig - fig wasp mutualism is
analysed and some of the divergent features of the relationship between
two fig species (Ficus natalensis leprieuri and F.
ottoniifolia) and their pollinating wasps (respectively: Alfonsiella
natalensis, later identified as Alfonsiella fimbriata) and Agaon
camerunensis and Agaon gabonensis (later identified as
belonging to genus Courtella) are compared through ecological,
ethological, morphological and evolutionary aspects.
This film has obtained two international awards; has been shown
on three different TV channels, and presented at universities in 33
countries. |
