Alternative mating strategies in the digger wasp Philanthus zebratus Cresson [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1978 Males of at least six species of the digger wasp genus Philanthus are territorial, defending areas on the ground and evidently marking these with a pheromone. This is also true of P. zebratus at two widely separate localities in Colorado. However, males

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in-between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Loss of safety in numbers and a novel driver of mass migration: radiotelemetry reveals heavy wasp predation on a band of Mormon crickets [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Coordinated movement of animals is a spectacular phenomenon that has received much attention. Experimental studies of Mormon crickets and locust nymphs have demonstrated that collective motion can arise from cannibalism that compensates for nutritional ...
