Neotropical Swarm-Founding Wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae: Epiponini) Accept Expelled Queens in Case of Queen Loss [PDF]
Sociobiology, 2018 In the Epiponini, queen number declines through colony cycle, because some queens are expelled from colonies. Here we demonstrate that Epiponini wasps may accept expelled queens in situations of queenlessness.
