Sociobiology, 2020 In colonies of Neotropical swarm-founding wasps (Epiponini), males are thought to be produced only in periods when there are many queens present. Little information is available regarding male behavior in and out of the nest, and male mating strategies are poorly understood.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1520-1531, December 2025.ABSTRACT Wasps, members of over 90 hymenopteran families, exhibit diverse behaviours, including pollination, predation and parasitism. While wasps are known pollinators in specialised systems, such as the intricate mutualism of fig trees and the deceptive pollination of certain orchids, they have historically been considered ineffective pollinators ...

Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1245-1250, September 2025.The conservation of pollinators is essential for sustaining the ecosystem services of pollen transfer, which support crop production, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.

A hypothesis to explain accuracy of wasp resemblances
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 73-81, January 2017., 2017 We suggest that “wasp mimicry” is not only Müllerian and Batesian mimicry driven by learning predators but, additionally, as vespid wasps are also potential predators of their mimics, the latter simulate their own predators. Social wasps are thus selecting agents responsible for superaccurate resemblance within the large fidelity spectrum exhibited in ...
