Pollinating fig wasp and seed productions of Ficus deltoidea var. angustifolia at selected oil palm plantations in Peninsular Malaysia

The relationship between Ficus deltoidea (family Moraceae) and pollinator fig wasp (family Agaonidae) are extremely specific in which each partner depends on the other for their reproductive success. There are about seven described varieties of Ficus deltoidea can be found in peninsular Malaysia. Fi...
