Carnivory in Adult Female Eumenid Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae) and Its Effect on Egg Production [PDF]
, 2017 Seventy captive adult female wasps of the eumenid genera Ancistrocerus and Euodynerus were observed to feed on multiple prey items. It was shown experimentally that E.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Nestmate recognition, i.e. the ability to discriminate nestmates from foreign individuals, is a crucial feature of insect societies and it has been traditionally considered to be predominantly based on chemical cues.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wasps, members of over 90 hymenopteran families, exhibit diverse behaviours, including pollination, predation and parasitism. While wasps are known pollinators in specialised systems, such as the intricate mutualism of fig trees and the deceptive pollination of certain orchids, they have historically been considered ineffective pollinators ...

Demographic History and Population Structure of Polistes fuscatus Paper Wasps [PDF]
, 2018 Limited dispersal and cooperation are predicted to coevolve in cooperatively breeding systems. In Polistes paper wasps, mark-recapture studies and genetic analyses have shown that both cooperative and solitary nesting gynes can exhibit natal philopatry.

Alternative Nesting Strategies of Polistine Wasps in a Subtropical Locale
Insects, 2022 Phylogenetic studies suggest that historically all paper wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae) in North America have tropical origins, but some species have adapted to survive temperate conditions.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.We investigated the pollination biology of eight native wildflower species in the southeastern U.S. to assess their dependence on insect pollinators and potential for self‐pollination. Most species showed significantly higher seed production and weight when open‐pollinated, indicating strong pollinator dependence, though some could reproduce without ...
