Oikos, Volume 2022, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 The outcomes of interspecific and intraspecific ecological interactions can be considered to fall along continua from cooperative (mutually beneficial) to antagonistic (detrimental to one or both parties). Furthermore, the position of an interaction outcome along the continuum, for example whether a symbiont provides net costs or benefits to its host ...

Changes in the hydrocarbon proportions of colony odor and their consequences on nestmate recognition in social wasps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In social insects, colonies have exclusive memberships and residents promptly detect and reject non-nestmates. Blends of epicuticular hydrocarbons communicate colony affiliation, but the question remains how social insects use the complex information in ...

Unrelated helpers in a primitively eusocial wasp: is helping tailored towards direct fitness? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The paper wasp Polistes dominulus is unique among the social insects in that nearly one-third of co-foundresses are completely unrelated to the dominant individual whose offspring they help to rear and yet reproductive skew is high.

Wolbachia in the invasive European paper wasp Polistes dominulus [PDF]
Insectes Sociaux, 2006 The European paper wasp Polistes dominulus has been expanding its North American range since its introduction in the 1970s. We screened P. dominulus from Italy and the northeastern U.S. for the presence of the intracellular reproductive symbiont Wolbachia. Infection rates among females varied from 16% to 87% among U.S.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 The invasive red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is considered one of the world’s most devastating insect pests to palm trees. It was observed that larvae of this pest are able to inhibit microbial growth on the rearing media when they start feeding and this observation has led us to study the effect of red ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 6, Issue 11, Page 3513-3522, June 2016., 2016 We examined whether male breeding coloration in the orangethroat darter is under sexual selection by intrasexual competition, by allowing several males to vie for a single female. Multiple aspects of male coloration was correlated with male competitive ability and reproductive success. Abstract Elaborate, sexually dimorphic traits are widely thought to

Biology of Omaspides pallidipennis Boheman, 1854 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae)
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 The biology and the feeding habits of the subsocial species Omaspides pallidipennis were studied at the Floresta Nacional de Passa Quatro, MG, Brazil, during the period from October 2010 to April 2011. The species was bivoltine, beginning its reproductive and food cycle in October (spring) and seeking its diapause sites in April (autumn). The juveniles
