Pollination and other biotic interactions in figs of Ficus eximia Schott (Moraceae)

Pollination and other biotic interactions in figs of Ficus eximia Schott (Moraceae)). During the period from 1992 to 1997, interactions of several organisms and Ficus eximia figs, a monoecious species, were studied in plants located in Campinas/SP and Londrina/PR (Brazil). Ficus eximia is pollinated by a single fig wasp species, Pegoscapus sp. (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae, Agaoninae), but also visited by other 14 non-pollinating wasps (Agaonidae, Eurytomidae, Torymidae). Mites (Tarsonemidae), nematodes (Diplogasteridae) and fungi which use the body of the pollinating fig wasp to disperse themselves were also observed. RESUMO - (Polinizacao e outras interacoes bioticas em siconios de Ficus eximia Schott (Moraceae)). Durante o periodo de 1992 a 1997, as interacoes de varios organismos e figos de Ficus eximia, uma especie monoica, foram estudadas em plantas localizadas em Campinas/SP e Londrina/PR (Brasil). Ficus eximia ep olinizada por uma unica especie de vespa de figo,Pegoscapus sp. (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae, Agaoninae), e associada a outras 14 especies de vespas nao-polinizadoras (Agaonidae, Eurytomidae, Torymidae). Acaros (Tarsonemidae), nematoides (Diplogasteridae) e fungos, os quais utilizam o corpo da vespa polinizadora para se dispersarem, foram tambem observados.
