Abstract

A  study  of  the  diversity  of  fig  trees  (Ficus  spp.)  and  their  pollinators  in  part  of  Chiang  Mai  Province  in  Thailand  was  conducted  from  June  2007  to  May  2009. 13  monoecious  and  13  dioecious  species  were  recoerded  (twenty-nine  taxa  in  total)  representing  all  six  subgenera. The  largest  group  of  11  species  belonged  to  subgenus  Urostigma  followed  by  Sycomorus  with  8  species, Ficus, Sycidium  and  Synoecia  each  with  2  species  and  Pharmacosycea  with  1  species. Some  fig  tree  such  as  F. benjamina L., F. hispida L.f.  and  F.  racemosa L.  were  found  commonly  in both  lower  and  upper  areas  (310-1,200  m  asl.), while  some  were  found  in  small  populations  and  restricted  to  specific  habitats, such  as  limestone  areas  (F.  anserine  Corner  and  F.  anastomosans  Wall.). The  study  revealed  a  large  number  of  fig  wasp  species, but  only  one  species  functioned  as  the  pollinator. Poollinators  of  20  fig  species  were  identified, with  Ceratosolen  emarginatus  Mayr  recorded  in  both  F.  auriculata  Lour  and  F.  oligodon  Miq. In  this  study, pollinators  of  F.  anserine, F.  curtipes, F.  rumphii, F.  pumila  and  F.  maclellandii  could  not  be  found.

Keywords: diversity, Ficus, fig wasps, pollinator, taxonomy
