New records of association between social wasp colonies and the Yellow Flycatcher Tolmomyias spp. (Passeriformes: Rhynchocyclidae) in Northeast Brazil

Entomological Communications, 2023
Social wasps are known to be aggressive, and this trait causes some other animal species to associate with these insects. These associations appear to be common in nature, however, they are not easily located nor understood.

Integrating biochemical and behavioral approaches to develop a bait to manage the invasive yellow paper wasp Polistes versicolor (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) in the Galápagos Islands

Neotropical Biodiversity, 2022
It is estimated that more than 500 species of insects have been introduced to the Galápagos Islands via human activities. One of these insect invaders is the yellow paper wasp, Polistes versicolor (Olivier) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), a social wasp native ...

Sex recognition does not modulate aggression toward nest intruders in a paper wasp

Current Zoology, 2022
During social interactions, the behavior of an individual often depends on the sex of its social partner. Many animal societies have males and females that play very different behavioral roles, although they coexist and interact non-sexually. At specific

Highly Contiguous Genome Assemblies of the Guinea Paper Wasp (Polistes exclamans) and Mischocyttarus mexicanus

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2022
Paper wasps are a model system for the study of social evolution due to a high degree of inter- and intraspecific variation in cooperation, aggression, and visual signals of social status.

Bright green fluorescence of Asian paper wasp nests [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2021
An exceptionally bright fluorescent biomatter was discovered when exploring, with UV-A light, the nests of several oriental paper wasp species of the genusPolistes, a genus of diurnal social insects. Fluorescence spectra of the cocoon cap membranes revealed narrow emission bands in the green range of the visible spectrum.

The respiratory metabolism of overwintering paper wasp gynes (Polistes dominula and Polistes gallicus)

Physiological entomology (Print), 2021
Winter in climatic regions with low temperatures is a challenge for overwintering insects. They are exposed to temperature extremes, which directly cause mortality or lead to energy depletion.

Age and social experience induced plasticity across brain regions of the paper wasp Polistes fuscatus

Biology Letters, 2021
Developmental studies of brain volumes can reveal which portions of neural circuits are sensitive to environmental inputs. In social insects, differences in relative investment across brain regions emerge as behavioural repertoires change during ontogeny

Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the paper wasp Polistes riparius (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The paper wasp Polistes riparius is distributed in cold regions of northern East Asia to Russia. P. riparius are characterized by having longer cells than those of the closely related P.
