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.

Sociobiology, 2022 Social wasps are model organisms in studies related to evolution and social behavior origin. They show high degree of sinanthropism and due to their feeding habits, they play important ecological roles.

Males of Neotropical social wasps (Vespidae, Polistinae, Epiponini) recognize colonies with virgin females [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2014 Male behavior of Neotropical swarm-founding wasps has rarely been observed. The few published observations about male activities only describe their behavior during the short period they spend inside nests.

Cladistics, 2020 AbstractNeotropical swarm‐founding wasps are divided into 19 genera in the tribe Epiponini (Vespidae, Polistinae). They display extensive variation in several colony‐level traits that make them an attractive model system for reconstructing the evolution of social phenotypes, including caste dimorphism and nest architecture. Epiponini has been upheld as

Social Wasps in Exotic Forest Planting and Atlantic Rainforest in the Neotropical Region
Sociobiology, 2020 Social wasps play an important role in communities, whether in natural or agricultural ecosystems, performing pollination and/or predation on other organisms, especially caterpillars, which reveals their potential for biological control.

Draft Genome Sequences of Tsukamurella sp. 8F and 8J Strains Isolated from Social Wasps (Vespidae; Polistinae: Epiponini). [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2023 Strains of the genus Tsukamurella were isolated from Polybia sp. social wasps from Costa Rica. Draft genome sequences from both isolates were obtained of ~4.5 Mb in length and with 68% GC content.
