Morphological and physiological variation between queens and workers of Protonectarina sylveirae (de Saussure) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Epiponini) Variações morfológicas e fisiológicas entre rainhas e operárias de Protonectarina sylveirae (de Saussure) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Epiponini)

Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2010
Morphological and physiological variation between queens and workers of Protonectarina sylveirae (de Saussure) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Epiponini). The Neotropical swarm-founding wasps, Epiponini, range from the absence of morphological differentiation between castes to highly distinct castes.

Overview of caste differentiation in the polistinae, emphasizing the neotropical swarm-founding polistinae (hymenoptera, vespidae, epiponini)

, 2022
Social insects attract special attention due to their complex social interaction among individuals and their capability of forming extremely well-organized societies. In this context, social wasps represent an important group in evolutionary studies of sociality in Hymenoptera, as every step of social organization is observed, permitting the ...
