Phylogeny and codivergence in the fig-fig wasp mutualism : sycoecine and agaondid fig wasps (Chalcidoidea, Hymenoptera) associated with Ficus section Galoglychia (Moraceae)
The interaction between figs and figs wasps is idealised as a classic example of coevolution through codivergence and cospeciation. Traditionally, the mutualism has been distinguished by a one-to-one ratio of host-specificity, whereby each species of fig tree (Ficlls, Moraceae) is pollinated by a …

Diversity and relationships of South Africa's fig-associated nematodes
Parasitic nematodes of the fig microcosm have received limited attention in South Africa. I have assessed the molecular diversity of nematodes present in the native South African species and discovered 24 undescribed species. Two were previously described but the descriptions need reviewing. I have …

The daily rhythm of Paneth cells in <i>Mus musculus </i>
… Morphology of Paneth Cells</p> <p>Paneth cells (Figs. 1 and 15) are conspicuous cells found at the base of the intestinal crypts, throughout the length of the small intestine, in mammals. They were first discovered by Schwalbe (1872) and extensively described by Paneth (1888). These cells contain …

Some aspects of the life history and bionomics of the Fig moth, Ephestia cautella (Wlk.), and some comparisons with the mediterranean flour moth, E. kuhniella (Zell) and the tobacco moth, E. elutella (Hb.)
In this paper, the morphological differences among the three common species of Ephestia have been confirmed by the present author, so that they may be easily identified. The life history of E. cautella has also been worked out, as well as some aspects of the life history of E. elutelle. and E. …
