Polistinae biogeography in the Neotropics: history and prospects [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2015 Discussions regarding Polistinae biogeography in the last two decades rarely associated current patterns of distribution with environmental changes. This well-known and very diverse group of insects is highly endemic in the Neotropics, but environmental ...

A hypothesis to explain accuracy of wasp resemblances [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 73-81, January 2017., 2016 Mimicry is one of the oldest concepts in biology, but it still presents many puzzles and continues to be widely debated. Simulation of wasps with a yellow-black abdominal pattern by other insects (commonly called “wasp mimicry”) is traditionally ...

Evolution of the neuronal substrate for kin recognition in social Hymenoptera
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2226-2242, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT In evolutionary terms, life is about reproduction. Yet, in some species, individuals forgo their own reproduction to support the reproductive efforts of others. Social insect colonies for example, can contain up to a million workers that actively cooperate in tasks such as foraging, brood care and nest defence, but do not produce offspring. In

Social Wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae) in an Urban Park from Piauí, Brazil
Entomological Communications, 2021 Studies of social wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae) in Piauí State are scarce and only two have been carried out. Due to the lack of studies, we surveyed the wasp species in the Zoobotanical State Park in the urban area of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil.

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 ...

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 2089-2108, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

Müllerian mimicry among bees and wasps: a review of current knowledge and future avenues of research
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 1310-1328, August 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Many bees and stinging wasps, or aculeates, exhibit striking colour patterns or conspicuous coloration, such as black and yellow stripes. Such coloration is often interpreted as an aposematic signal advertising aculeate defences: the venomous sting.

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 34, Issue S28, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Since the discovery of immunoglobulin E (IgE) as a mediator of allergic diseases in 1967, our knowledge about the immunological mechanisms of IgE‐mediated allergies has remarkably increased. In addition to understanding the immune response and clinical symptoms, allergy diagnosis and management depend strongly on the precise identification of ...
