Fig abscission as a defense mechanism of Ficus trees against parasitism by non-pollinating fig wasps
Abstract How does the fig tree Ficus benguetensis protect its investment in the production of figs and pollinating fig wasps against parasitism from non-pollinating fig wasps? This study documents a previously overlooked defense mechanism: fig abscission—the natural shedding of the fig fruit as a de...
