psenes การใช้
- These are pollinated by the fig wasp, " Blastophaga psenes ".
- "Blastophaga psenes " is the vector of the nematode bringing it to the fig tree.
- "Schistonchus caprifici " is a nematode associated with the fig pollinator " Blastophaga psenes ", and its cleptoparasite " Philotrypesis caricae ".
- Aristotle noted in " Historia animalium " that wild figs contain " psenes " that begin as grubs, but whose skin splits allowing the " psen " to fly out.
- While the nematodes as parasites are not lethal to " B . psenes, " these cleptoparasites are lethal because they are taking " B . psenes " all the food source instead of sharing the food like the nematodes.

- Further, Aristotle recorded that the fruits of the wild fig contain " psenes " ( fig wasps ); these begin life as larvae, and the adult " psen " splits its " skin " ( pupa ) and flies out of the fig to find and enter a cultivated fig, saving it from dropping.
- By being a cleptoparasite, " P . caricae " allows " B . psenes " to do the work and acquire food with little or no cost to itself . " B . psenes " wasps oviposit in the syconium, while " P . caricae " oviposit at the outside of the florets.

- This layering of ovipositing causes the larvae of " P . caricae " to put pressure on the larvae " B . psenes " wasps so that " B . psenes " cannot emerge from the syconium . " B . psenes " struggles to compete for food with " P . caricae " so it usually dies when cleptoparasitized.
