Abstract:Ficus and their species-specific pollinator wasps (Agaonidae) exhibit a remarkable obligate mutualism. Fig trees are typically pollinated only by female agaonids, whose offspring feed on the ovules of the plant. Figs also shelter numerous other, unrelated, fig wasps that usually exploit the fig pollinator mutualism. Ficus curtipes Corner is a monoecious strangler fig tree. At Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, 9493 individual fig wasps were reared from 100 figs (syconia). They included one species of agaonid wasp and five unrelated fig wasps. The agaonid Eupristina sp. was represented by 45% of the individuals, Diaziella yangi van Noort & Rasplus by 46% and the remaining 9% by Lipothymus sp., Philotrypesis sp., Sycobia sp. and Sycoscopter sp. Females of the first three species enter the figs to oviposit whereas the others lay their eggs from the outside of the figs. In this study, the order of emergence of the fig wasps from their natal figs and their mating behavior were recorded. They followed a strict sequence of emergence, with Sycobia sp. emerging first, then Lipothymus sp., followed by Diaziella yangi. Eupristina sp., Philotrypesis sp. and Sycoscopter sp. emerged last. Contrary to expectations, the mating sites of the five species of non-agaonid fig wasps were not always linked to the presence or absence of wings in the males. D. yangi (with winged males) mated mostly inside the figs and its males engaged in fatal fights for mating opportunities. Male Lipothymus sp. (with wingless males), mated both inside and outside the figs whereas male Sycobia sp. (with winged males) only mated outside. Males of Philotrypesis sp. and Sycoscopter sp. (both with wingless males), only mated inside the figs. Fig wasps often display highly female-biased sex ratios linked to local mate competition. D. yangi, despite having winged males, mated mainly inside the figs, which is likely to influence its optimal sex ratio. The presence of wings in male fig wasps is therefore not a good predictor of mating sites, nor sex ratio.
