非传粉榕小蜂的行为研究

Ficus microcarpa and fig wasps interacted with each other, figs depend on pollinating wasps to be pollinated, while pollinating wasps also need to intake syconia resource to ensure their own survival, so did the non-pollinating wasps(NPFWs). This article observed the mating behavior of three species of NPFWs and the ovipositing behavior of Apocrypta westwoodi in Ficus microcarpa. The results indicated that, NPFWs mainly mating outside of the syconia and both of its male and female wasps can materepeatedly. In the mating process, the male wasps may fight for mating with female wasps, therefore, the percentage of male wasps offspring may decrease in order to reduce competition. In addition, we can find from the ovipositing behavior of Apocrypta westwoodi that the ovipositing process can divided into searching oviposition sites, ovipositor inserting to syconia, ovipositing and retaking ovipositor. Ovipositing time is also different among wasp species.
