Antennal Sensilla in Vespidae: A Comparison Between a Diurnal and a Nocturnal Polistinae Wasp
Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2022AbstractSocial wasps have a widespread Neotropical distribution and are important pollinators and biological control agents for pest insects. The foraging activity of wasps is influenced by biotic and abiotic factors that are detected by the antennal sensilla that vary according to species, sex, caste, and environmental conditions.

Fatty acids in the tissues of social wasps (Hymenoptera: vespinae and Polistinae)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1976Abstract 1. 1. Fatty acids in various tissues of social wasps prevalent in the Northern Hemisphere were isolated and identified. 2. 2. The following species were studied: Polistes gallicus, Vespa orientalis, V. crabro, Paravespula germanica, P. vulgaris, Dolichovespula saxonica and D. media . 3. 3.

Nutrients in Social Wasp (Hymenoptera: Vespidae, Polistinae) Honey
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1998Previous investigators have questioned the temporal occurrence, biochemistry, and nutritional use of honey sometimes present in nests of some social polistine wasps. Honey of species in the genera Polistes and Polybia contains diverse amino acids. Inositols (alicyclic polyalcohols) also are present in the honey of both genera; quercitol was the most ...

Key to the Genera of Social Wasps (Polistinae) Occurring in Neotropics
2020Polistinae are 25 genera and more than 1,000 described species, and in Brazil 21 genera and nearly 372 species have been recorded. Here, we propose an iden-tification key to the genera of social wasps (Polistinae) occurring in the Neotropics.

Principles of organization of polistinae (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) population
Entomological Review, 2015The paper describes some invariant relations of the Polistinae population structure, including resistance to abiotic and biotic factors that occurs against the background of the hierarchy of biological systems and increasing autonomy of their functioning.

Neotropical Polistinae (Vespidae) and the Progression Rule Principle: the Round-Trip Hypothesis
Neotropical Entomology, 2015The progression rule principle is based on the relation between centers of origin and basal forms, and the prediction that recently colonized areas are where novelties commonly occur. Using this concept as the null hypothesis, the aim of the present study was to test whether intuitive predictions of this model are confirmed in the Neotropical paper ...

New potent antimicrobial peptides from the venom of Polistinae wasps and their analogs
Peptides, 2008Four new peptides of the mastoparan family, characterized recently in the venom of three neotropical social wasps collected in the Dominican Republic, Polistes major major, Polistes dorsalis dorsalis and Mischocyttarus phthisicus were synthesized and tested for antimicrobial potency against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli (E ...
