The images show asexually produced spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal species Entrophospora infrequens (top) and Funneliformis mosseae (bottom). Image credit: Joe Morton (INVAM).

Four close up images of the inside of a fig, three green and one red, showing the tiny internal flowers and black fig-wasp pollinators within.

You probably know that figs are pollinated by wasps as part of a #Mutualistic plant-pollinator relationship, but did you know not all fig flowers are pollinated? The answer to why this is has been elusive, yet here it's found the size of figs may be the cause! 🐝🌸🌍🧪
