Diversity of Social Wasps on Semideciduous Seasonal Forest Fragments with Different Surrounding Matrix in Brazil [PDF]
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 We surveyed social wasps (Polistinae) present in forest fragments of northwest of São Paulo state with different surroundings composed of a matrix of citrus crops and sugarcane in the expectation that the former matrix would be more diverse than the latter. We collected specimens actively using attractive liquids. We obtained 20 species in Magda, 13 in

Wasps are better plant-guards than ants in the extrafloral nectaried shrub Ouratea spectabilis (Ochnaceae) [PDF]
Sociobiology, 2016 In the Cerrado, many plants are patrolled by ants, but in some cases, predatory wasps may also play an important role in herbivore deterrence. Here we examined the effects of the wasp Brachygastra lecheguana and the ant Pseudomyrmex gracilis on the ...

Ecosystem services provided by aculeate wasps
Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1645-1675, August 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT The aculeate wasps are one of the most diverse and speciose insect taxa; they are omnipresent across ecosystems and exhibit diverse co‐evolutionary and exploitative associations with other organisms. There is widespread conjecture that aculeate wasps are likely to perform essential ecological and economic services of importance to the health ...
