Caste differences in Pseudopolybia compressa (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae) [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2009 Studies of morphological caste syndromes in the tribe Epiponini help us to understand the evolution of social behavior in insects. Few studies have integrated morphological syndromes of various species from the same or distinct genera. We studied morphological differences between castes from three colonies of Pseudopolybia compressa de Saussure, 1854 ...
