Wasps Beyond Bees: Crop Species of Spondias (Anacardiaceae) Vary in Floral Scent and Attract Different Pollinator Taxa

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1070-1083, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Spondias species are increasingly valued for their fruit production, which relies heavily on insect pollination. The flowers of these species are generalised, attracting a diverse array of insect visitors, including bees, beetles, flies, wasps and butterflies.

Phylogenetic analysis of the Neotropical social wasps of the genus Angiopolybia Araujo, 1946 (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Epiponini) [PDF]

Zootaxa, 2007
A morphological cladistic analysis of the Neotropical swarm-founding genus Angiopolybia Araujo is presented. A single cladogram resulted from the analysis, with the following ingroup topology: (A. pallens + A. zischkai) + (A. paraensis + A. obidensis). The monophyly of the genus is supported by four synapomorphies. A new identification key is presented

Exploring chemical badges in swarm-founding wasps

Discover Animals
Chemical communication helps maintaining social organization in insects, with cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) conveying information about reproductive status and colony identity. In social wasps, these compounds also occur on the eggs’ surface.

Caste differences in Pseudopolybia compressa (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae)

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2009
Studies of morphological caste syndromes in the tribe Epiponini help us to understand the evolution of social behavior in insects. Few studies have integrated morphological syndromes of various species from the same or distinct genera.

Record of Parasitoids in nests of social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae)

Sociobiology, 2015
The aim of this study was to record the parasitoid species found in social wasps nests sampled in different localities in Brazil and investigate the existence of preferential host-parasite associations in different tribes of Neotropical paper wasps.
