Contrasting Phenological Patterns and Reproductive Strategies in Closely Related Monoecious Fig Tree Species.

Understanding the ecological and evolutionary aspects of mutualistic interactions is essential for predicting species responses to environmental changes. This study aimed to investigate the phenological patterns and reproductive strategies in two closely related fig tree species, and . We monitored 99 and 21 trees weekly from January 2006 to April 2011 in an area close to the southern edge of the tropical region in Brazil.
