New host record for the enigmatic Neotropical mantidfly genus Anchieta Navás, 1909 (Neuroptera, Mantispidae), a mimic of wasps and stingless bees

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2021
Species of Symphrasinae (Neuroptera: Mantispidae) are ectoparasitoids of larvae and pupae of holometabolous insects, primarily of Hymenoptera in their larval stages.

Parasitic behavior of Amobia distorta (Diptera: Miltogramminae) and defensive behavior of its hosts, Anterhynchium spp. (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae)

open access: yesEntomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, June 2026.
The parasitic behaviour of Amobia distorta and the defensive behaviour of its hosts, Anterhynchium flavomarginatum (native species) and A. gibbifrons (probably non‐native), were observed. Abstract Two Anterhynchium species, A. flavomarginatum and A. gibbifrons, are solitary tube‐renting eumenine wasps that occur sympatrically in Japan.

Single locus complementary sex determination in Hymenoptera: an "unintelligent" design? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The haplodiploid sex determining mechanism in Hymenoptera (males are haploid, females are diploid) has played an important role in the evolution of this insect order.

Effects of flower patch additions and urbanisation on cavity‐nesting bees and wasps

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Urbanisation can negatively affect cavity‐nesting bees and wasps, yet common conservation interventions such as flower patches and artificial nests lack strong empirical support. In a 2‐year experiment across urban allotments spanning an urbanisation gradient, we found no effect of added floral resources on nest uptake, while hymenopteran abundance ...

Phylogenomics and biogeography of the cleptoparasitic bee genus Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), with a revised subgeneric classification of Triepeolus and its sister genus, Epeolus Latreille Filogenómica y biogeografía del género de abejas cleptoparásitas Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), con una clasificación subgenérica revisada para Triepeolus y su género hermano, Epeolus Latreille

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
A subgeneric classification is proposed for Triepeolus—the second‐largest genus of cleptoparasitic apid bees in the world—and its sister genus Epeolus, with support from a newly presented dated phylogeny. Phylogenomic analysis based on ultraconserved elements revealed strong support for the monophyly of Triepeolus, which diverged from Epeolus sometime ...

Differential effects of habitat isolation and landscape composition on wasps, bees, and their enemies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Habitat loss and fragmentation are major threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Effects of these usually intercorrelated processes on biodiversity have rarely been separated at a landscape scale.

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

Unveiling Wasps as Potential Pollinators: Floral Traits and Wasp Sociality Intensify Network Centrality in a Highly Diverse Tropical Ecosystem

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1520-1531, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Wasps, members of over 90 hymenopteran families, exhibit diverse behaviours, including pollination, predation and parasitism. While wasps are known pollinators in specialised systems, such as the intricate mutualism of fig trees and the deceptive pollination of certain orchids, they have historically been considered ineffective pollinators ...
