Mediation of a Mutualistic Conflict for Pollination via Fig Phenology and Odor Recognition between <i>Ficus</i> and Fig Wasp

The vegetative and reproductive growth of plants provide the basic tempo for an ecosystem, and when species are interdependent, phenology becomes crucial to regulating the quantity and quality of the interactions. In plant–insect interactions, the plants signal the beginning of their reproductive pe...
