The Life and Death of a Fig Wasp (opens in new tab)

> Her eggs grow inside the fig flower and hatch several days later. The newly hatched wasps mate with other wasps that were born in the same fig.

Wouldn't this lead to and extremely shallow gene-pool? Or do figs tend to have multiple wasps in it?

What do they do during the winter? I have two fig trees in my yard that collectively product maybe 2000-3000 figs/year. Half they year they aren't flowering or developing fruit.
