Nest Hydrocarbons as Cues for Philopatry in a Paper Wasp
Ethology, 2005AbstractPhilopatric behavior has been demonstrated in a wide taxonomic spread of animals. In temperate environments, overwinteredPolisteswasp foundresses often return to their natal nest prior to initiating colony construction. Previous research has shown that these spring foundresses can identify the natal nest in the absence of landmark and gross ...

Thermoanalytical investigations on paper covers of social wasps
Thermochimica Acta, 2000Abstract Paper nests of wasps and hornets were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG) in combination with mass spectrometry (MS), combustion calorimetry (CC) and some other biophysical techniques. Nests are constructed of thin paper layers (0.1 mm thick, area density 76.5 g m −2 ) formed of rotten wood

, 2020 The function of dart behavior in the paper wasp, Polistes fuscatus
Naturwissenschaften, 2004Dominance behavior in Polistes wasps is a composite trait consisting of various discrete behaviors such as darts, lunges, bites, and mounts. The majority of these behaviors are considered "aggressive", and these aggressive behaviors are considered to form a continuum from mild (e.g., darts) to severe (e.g., falling fights).

Write a Scientific Paper (WASP): Effective graphs and tables
Early Human Development, 2019Readers are drawn towards tables and figures (such as graphs) because these are perceived as easy reading, when compared to attempting to interpret a verbose account of the same content. Previous publications in these Best Practice Guidelines series have already given some basic instruction in Excel chart creation and in Excel automatic histogram ...

WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Advanced statistical analyses
Early Human Development, 2018Spreadsheet analysis software allows easy data management, as has been shown by the WASP (Write a Scientific Paper) sets of papers in these Best Practice Guidelines (BGP) in the previous issues. However, commonly available spreadsheet software, such as Excel, is weaker on the more advanced statistical techniques.

WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Understanding research metrics
Early Human Development, 2018Research metrics are quantitative measurements that identify and acknowledge research output while enhancing article, author and journal impact within the academic community. The article impact depends on the number of times that same article is cited by other authors, while an author's impact depends on the number of citations received on the total ...
