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 ...

Ecosystem services provided by aculeate wasps
Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1645-1675, August 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT The aculeate wasps are one of the most diverse and speciose insect taxa; they are omnipresent across ecosystems and exhibit diverse co‐evolutionary and exploitative associations with other organisms. There is widespread conjecture that aculeate wasps are likely to perform essential ecological and economic services of importance to the health ...

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 ...

The Effect of Forest Fragmentation on Polistinae
Sociobiology, 2019 The forest fragmentation is caused by natural or anthropic actions, which affect negatively the biota and the environmental services rendered by biological diversity. However, there is little information on the reflex of these actions in many different groups of animals, such as social wasps, which are abundant and significantly present in neotropical ...

Parasitoids of Polistes myersi Bequaert, 1934 (Vespidae, Polistinae)
Sociobiology, 2020 Information about parasitoids of neotropical vespids is scarce. Parasitoids collected from 43 colonies of Polistes myersi Bequaert, 1934 and one ofPolistes erythrocephalus Latreille, 1813 are reported from an Andean region of Colombia. Colony parasitism rates in P.

Social wasps (Hymenoptera, Polistinae) from the Brazilian savanna
Sociobiology, 2020 The present study was developed aiming to evaluate the richness and biogeography of social wasp species in the Brazilian savanna, Cerrado. In order to do so, we gathered data from specialized literature and field samplings performed at Sempre-Vivas National Park, northeastern Minas Gerais state.
