| 中文摘要 | In largely urban Singapore, 69% of the 45 recorded native fig species (Ficus, Moraceae) are either critically endangered (24 species) or nationally extinct (7 species). Small populations of dioecious fig species are expected to be particularly vulnerable, because of evidence that their species-specific pollinators may be less mobile than those of monoecious figs. We therefore studied the dispersal of pollinating fig wasps (Chalcidoidea: Agaonidae) at an urban site by capturing them with sticky traps set at 25 m, 10 m, and 2 m above the ground. All but one of the pollinator genera expected for Singapore were captured, as well as one genus with no local hosts (Kradibia) and one whose only local host is apparently extinct (Dolichoris). Pollinators of monoecious host taxa dominated the catch (440 wasps; 90%) and were mostly caught in the 25 m traps. Dioecious pollinators were rare (28 wasps; 6%), despite the abundance and frequent reproduction of their hosts in the vicinity, and were mostly caught in the 2 m traps. These patterns are similar to those reported from previous studies in rural areas and suggests that wasp dispersal in Singapore displays similar trends. This study provides baseline data on fig wasp diversity found in Singapore through dispersal. |
