Yellowjackets, Hornets, and Paper Wasps
, 2007 Social wasps, including yellowjackets, hornets and paper wasps, are common stinging insects in Utah (Figs. 1, 2). The wasps are related to ants and bees, which are also capable of stinging; however, yellowjackets are the most likely to sting.

Genetic and phenotypic responses to habitat fragmentation in a European harvester ant
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Our work highlights the use of multiple approaches to evaluate species responses to habitat fragmentation. Less allelic richness in habitats with fewer ant nests and reduced heterozygosity with less allelic richness indicated inbreeding; smaller gyne mesosoma size in less connected habitats indicated reduced flight ability.

The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

Don’t be Square: Why do Chemistry and Nature Build Hexagons?
CHIMIAThis article distinguishes the role of hexagonal motifs in close-packed solid-state structures and in graphite and graphene; we then illustrate how hexagonal cells in the nests of honey bees and paper wasps minimize construction materials while ...

Native insect species should be selected for classroom rearings
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Rearing insects in the school classroom can build positive attitudes towards insects among schoolchildren, which is becoming increasingly important as insect populations decline. Identified frequent use of non‐native insect species, raising environmental and ethical concerns after classroom rearing ends.

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Probiotics have demonstrated Streptococcus mutans (SM) suppression. This in vitro study compared the SM inhibition capacity of bovine infant formula supplemented with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Gorbach Goldin (LGG) probiotic to a plain formulation. Methods Two bovine‐based infant formulas, Similac Advance Optigro (formula non‐probiotic, FNP)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wasps, although less recognised as good pollinators, also feed on nectar and pollinate flowers. Specialised pollination systems, such as orchids that mimic the pheromones of female wasps to attract males, are complex and specific. This interaction occurs with some Thyninnae wasps that also visit flowers to obtain nectar and perform other ...
