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

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 ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 4, Page 1559-1611, August 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT In a much‐cited 1964 paper entitled “Reproductive efficiency in relation to colony size in hymenopterous societies,” Charles Michener investigated the correlation between a colony's size and its reproductive efficiency – the ability of its adult females to produce reproductives, measured as per‐capita output. Based on his analysis of published

Gene dynamics of haplodiploidy favor eusociality in the Hymenoptera
Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 7, Page 1546-1555, July 2022., 2022 Abstract The problem of whether haplodiploidy is responsible for the frequent evolution of eusociality in the Hymenoptera remains unresolved. The little‐known “protected invasion hypothesis” posits that because a male will transmit a new allele for alloparental care to all his daughters under haplodiploidy, such an allele has a higher probability of ...

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 ...
