Chemical Usurpation of a Nest by Paper Wasp Parasites
Science, 1996The paper wasp Polistes atrimandibularis is an obligatory social parasite of another Polistes species, P. biglumis bimaculatus . To control the host nest, the parasite sequentially changes the composition of its chemical signature, the cuticular hydrocarbons, during ...

A socially enforced signal of quality in a paper wasp
Nature, 2004Organisms use signals of quality to communicate information about aspects of their relative phenotypic and genetic constitution. Badges of status are a subset of signals of quality that reveal information about an individual's size and dominance. In general, signals of quality require high and differential costs to remain honest (that is, prevent low ...

WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Multivariate analysis
Early Human Development, 2018Linear regression is the equation which provides of straight line that best describes the association between two continuous variables, x and y. However, it is often the case that the dependent variable y is influenced by more than one variable and not just a single x variable.

1996
Abstract In flying hymenopterans, the majority of studies have concerned observations or experiments held within the insects’ known territory, or their home range (internal homing), and most of this research has focused on the problem of nest location and identification on return from foraging flights (immediate orientation) (see Wehner ...

Nest thermoregulation of the paper wasp Polistes dominula
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2016Wasps of the genus Polistes build combs without any cover and hence are insufficiently protected against temperature fluctuations. Due to this fact, different types of thermoregulation of Polistes dominula nests were investigated using the modern method of thermography.

WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Writing for the media
Early Human Development, 2018Writing for the media is a task faced by many professionals at some point during their academic or clinical life. The style and purpose of writing for the media is strikingly different from that of an academic manuscript. When writing for the media, the author presents information and persuades the mass audience about a particular topic or issue.

WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): The right to privacy
Early Human Development, 2018The data protection directive of the EU was set up to allow the freedom of movement of people between member states. This has the consequence of allowing the freedom of transfer of data between member states in research. The paper discusses three cases discussed during the project to see whether RECs can refuse research based on concern for data ...

WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Recruitment for research
Early Human Development, 2018The recruitment of patients must occur in accordance with approved standards. Speaking to a patient during a routine clinical consultation and offering to participate in a research, even if consented to, can only be an introduction to the recruitment process. The potential participant must then be referred to a competent person who explains the reasons

WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Preparing a poster
Early Human Development, 2018A poster is a visual communication tool, but crucially, it is absolutely not a research paper directly transposed onto a board. It shows the results of research but it does not explain in detail in the way that a conventional paper does. This paper will explain how poster creation accedes to newspaper article writing theory, while adhering to the IMRAD

WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Preparing an abstract
Early Human Development, 2018An abstract is typically prepared as a preface to a paper or as a submission to an event, such as a conference, so as to have research work presented as an oral presentation or as a poster. The principles are identical. Abstracts are always restricted by a word count, typically circa 250 words, so the maximum of economy is needed to convey result/s ...
