Can soda ash dumping grounds provide replacement habitats for digger wasps (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Spheciformes)? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 BackgroundPublished sources document a loss of biodiversity at an extreme rate, mainly because natural and semi-natural ecosystems are becoming fragmented and isolated, thus losing their biological functions.

Complex-to-predict generational shift between nested and clustered organization of individual prey networks in digger wasps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Although diet has traditionally been considered to be a property of the species or populations as a whole, there is nowadays extensive knowledge that individual specialization is widespread among animal populations.

Digger wasps Microbembex monodonta SAY (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae) rely exclusively on visual cues when pinpointing their nest entrances [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The ability of insects to navigate and home is crucial to fundamental tasks, such as pollination, parental care, procuring food, and finding mates. Despite recent advances in our understanding of visual homing in insects, it remains unclear exactly how ...

The genome sequence of a digger wasp, <i>Ectemnius continuus</i> (Fabricius, 1804). [PDF]
Wellcome Open Res, 2023 We present a genome assembly from an individual female Ectemnius continuus (digger wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Crabronidae). The genome sequence is 260.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
