A key to the Australian genera of Eumeninae (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
Records of the Australian Museum, 2021 An illustrated identification key to the genera of potter wasps occurring in Australia is presented. Hitherto there has been no published key to these genera, making routine identification impossible, and allowing taxonomic study of these wasps to be ...

Reproductive aspects and pollination biology in endoparasitic Pilostyles thurberi (Apodanthaceae)
Plant Species Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 40-53, March 2023., 2023 We studied pollination and reproductive strategies of the endoparasitic plant Pilostyles thurberi. The reproductive strategy, floral rewards, pollination system, and variation of their sexual flower arrangement were recorded. This endoparasite presents differences in reproductive success between different sites. Abstract Biotic pollination is typically

Gene dynamics of haplodiploidy favor eusociality in the Hymenoptera
Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 7, Page 1546-1555, July 2022., 2022 Abstract The problem of whether haplodiploidy is responsible for the frequent evolution of eusociality in the Hymenoptera remains unresolved. The little‐known “protected invasion hypothesis” posits that because a male will transmit a new allele for alloparental care to all his daughters under haplodiploidy, such an allele has a higher probability of ...

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 6, Page 693-770, June 2022., 2022 The ant abdomen is critically understudied, despite its functional, evolutionary, and systematic importance. Using physical dissection, scanning electron microscope, histology, and microcomputed tomography, we provide the first complete treatment of the skeletomusculature, exocrine glands, and other major organs of the abdomen.

Carnivory in Adult Female Eumenid Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae) and Its Effect on Egg Production [PDF]
, 2017 Seventy captive adult female wasps of the eumenid genera Ancistrocerus and Euodynerus were observed to feed on multiple prey items. It was shown experimentally that E.

Methods for Artificial Rearing of Solitary Eumenid Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae) [PDF]
, 2017 Solitary eumenid wasps of the genera Ancistrocerus and Euodynerus can be reared in small cages. Laboratory-reared larvae of the spruce budworm caterpillars, Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Torlricidae) are suitable ...

Ecosystem services provided by aculeate wasps
Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1645-1675, August 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT The aculeate wasps are one of the most diverse and speciose insect taxa; they are omnipresent across ecosystems and exhibit diverse co‐evolutionary and exploitative associations with other organisms. There is widespread conjecture that aculeate wasps are likely to perform essential ecological and economic services of importance to the health ...

The Identity of Odynerus Scudderi Cameron and O? Bradleyi Cameron (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae)
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 1987 Bohart (1965) treated the identity of 100 names of North American Eumeninae described by Peter Cameron from 1905 to 1912. This paper established the synonymy of all but four of these names, and so solved many problems in the nomenclature of nearctic ...
