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 ...

Müllerian mimicry among bees and wasps: a review of current knowledge and future avenues of research
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 1310-1328, August 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Many bees and stinging wasps, or aculeates, exhibit striking colour patterns or conspicuous coloration, such as black and yellow stripes. Such coloration is often interpreted as an aposematic signal advertising aculeate defences: the venomous sting.

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.

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 ...
