Fig Pollination

Fig Pollination is a specialized mutualistic pollination system in which the genus *Ficus* (fig trees) is exclusively pollinated by tiny fig wasps (Agaonidae), distinguished by an obligate symbiotic relationship where pollination and wasp reproduction occur within the enclosed inflorescence (syconium) of the fig.
