Avian kleptoparasitism of the digger wasp Sphex pensylvanicus [PDF]
AbstractKleptoparasitism (one organism stealing prey from another) is especially common in birds. Avian kleptoparasites should be especially likely to target insects such as digger wasps (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) that occur in large aggregations and repeatedly deliver large prey to the same nesting site.

The genome sequence of a digger wasp, <i>Ectemnius continuus</i> (Fabricius, 1804). [PDF]
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.
