Write a scientific paper (WASP) - a career-critical skill
Early Human Development, 2018The ability to write a scientific paper (WASP) is becoming progressively more critical because the "publish or perish" mantra is increasingly valid in today's world where success is judged by number of publications and quality of publications based on journals which publish the researcher's work.

Recognition of conspecific immunological status in a neotropical paper wasp
Behavioral Ecology, 2023Host immune activation is common under a pathogen invasion. This physiological response can promote changes in the body surface compounds, thus providing chemical cues related to health that might be useful to conspecifics.

Paper wasps are darker at high elevation
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2020High mountains are harsh environments in which colder temperatures and higher levels of UV-B radiation are common. These abiotic conditions strongly affect animals' biology, often constraining their survival and reproduction. As a result, adaptations to live in such habitats are expected to evolve.

WASP (Write a Scientific Paper): Structuring a scientific paper
Early Human Development, 2019Writing and publishing scientific papers have become requisites for all scientists (researchers and academics alike) to maintain their professional career. The prospects of writing a scientific paper are often regarded as somewhat daunting to the uninitiated. However a universal, well established structure format known as "IMRAD": i.e.

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 ...

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): 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 ...

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.
