Ethology Ecology & EvolutionCaste plasticity is an essential trait in social insects, and it facilitates the allocation of individuals in different tasks according to population demands in the colony (e.g. workers can become queens upon loss or death of their “original queen”). The

"Marimbondos": a review on the neotropical swarm-founding polistines.
Sociobiology, 2014 Neotropical swarm-founding polistines, the Epiponini, compose a highly social tribe of vespids which displays several complex social characteristics, such as: intricate nest building, polygyny, swarm reproduction, and the absence of morphology caste ...

Flower‐Visiting Social Wasps and Plants Interaction: Network Pattern and Environmental Complexity
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Network analysis as a tool for ecological interactions studies has been widely used since last decade. However, there are few studies on the factors that shape network patterns in communities. In this sense, we compared the topological properties of the interaction network between flower‐visiting social wasps and plants in two distinct ...

Cleptobiosis in Social Insects
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 In this review of cleptobiosis, we not only focus on social insects, but also consider broader issues and concepts relating to the theft of food among animals. Cleptobiosis occurs when members of a species steal food, or sometimes nesting materials or other items of value, either from members of the same or a different species.

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 The ability of social insect colonies to recruit nestmates to profitable resources increases colony‐wide foraging efficiency by providing individuals with information that narrows their search for resources. Here we ask if for the Neotropical swarm‐founding wasp Polybia occidentalis naïve nestmates are able to use food‐scent cues from rich carbohydrate

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Five cases of colony emigration induced by removal of nest envelope and combs and a single one by manipulation are described. The disturbance was followed by defensive patterns, buzz running, and adult dispersion. An odor trail created by abdomen dragging, probably depositing venom or Dufour′s gland secretions, connected the original nest to the newly ...
