The authors of this book present a synopsis of their knowledge about the figs and fig wasps of Africa and Madagascar. The biology of the intricate mutual relations, the taxonomy of Ficus in Africa and the taxonomy of the African fig wasps (especially the pollinators) are treated; an extensive bibliography is provided. It is the first time that the groups of organisms mentioned (plants and insects) are treated together in the same publication. It will provide a basis for all who study these groups, their ecological and evolutionary interrelations, and relations with other groups of associated organisms.
