Evolution of Metapostnotum in Flat Wasps (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae): Implications for Homology Assessments in Chrysidoidea [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Some authors in the past based their conclusions about the limits of the metapostnotum of Chrysidoidea based on the position of the mesophragmo-metaphragmal muscle, rather than aspects of the skeleton and musculature associated with the metapectal ...

Differences in functional trait responses to elevation among feeding guilds of Aculeata community. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 The response of communities to climate change is expected to vary among feeding guilds. We found that functional trait composition of each feeding guild in Aculeata bees and wasps community responded to the elevational gradient in different ways. This differences can produce different community assembly patterns in different guilds during further ...

Color pan traps often catch less when there are more flowers around. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Colour pan traps are often recommended for pollinator monitoring. We report that pan trap catches may suffer from a negative bias due to surrounding flower frequency and color. The occurrence and magnitude of the negative bias were context and taxon dependent, and therefore difficult to adjust for.
