Observations on the Nesting Behavior of Digger Wasps of the Genus Ammophila
American Midland Naturalist, 1959 In the course of studies on the behavior of various digger wasps, I have from time to time made a few notes on various species of Ammophila (tribe Ammophilini of the subfamily Sphecinae, family Sphecidae). My reasons for publishing these rather fragmentary notes at this time are two.

Evolutionarily stable nesting strategy in a digger wasp
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1979 Abstract Two alternative “strategies” will not coexist in a population unless on average they are equally successful. The most likely way for such an equilibrium to be maintained is through something equivalent to frequency-dependent selection. Females of the digger wasp Sphex ichneumoneus (Sphecidae) nest in underground burrows. They usually dig and

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 ...
