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.

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

High Number of Species of Social Wasps (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Polistinae) Attests the Great Biodiversity of Western Amazon: a Survey from Rondônia, Brazil.

Sociobiology, 2020
A survey of social wasps (Vespidae, Polistinae), common insects of Neotropical fauna, which performs a great variety of important ecosystemic services, was conducted for the first time in areas of the Amazon forest in Rondônia state. The state is part of

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.

"Marimbondos": a review on the neotropical swarm-founding polistines.

Sociobiology, 2013
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 ...

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.

Occurrence and nesting behavior of social wasps in an anthropized environment

Sociobiology, 2019
Some effort had been made concerning the social biodiversity of wasps in Brazil; however, few approaches have been made relating to how this taxa have adapted their nesting behavior to anthropic mixed environments.

Phylogenetic analysis of species of the neotropical social wasp Epipona Latreille, 1802 (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Polistinae, Epiponini)

ZooKeys, 2009
The Neotropical social wasp genus Epipona is reviewed. Phylogenetic analysis of the species in the genus using morphological and nest characters resulted in a single cladogram, with the following ingroup topology: (E.guerini + E. niger) + (E. media + (E.
