The First Workers of the Ant Camponotus obscuripes Are a Different Allometric Morph with Relatively Long Antennae to Communicate with Other Larger Colony Members

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
The first workers produced by an ant queen with a claustral founding mode are much smaller than the workers after the second generation and are thus called “nanitics.” These nanitics shoulder the initial fate of the colony and thus may be different morphometric morph from the other workers in mature colony to optimize the survival of their own colony ...

Efeito da altitude sobre riqueza de vespas sociais (Vespidae, Polistinae)

Acta Biológica Catarinense, 2021
  O conhecimento da ordenação das espécies ao longo de um gradiente altitudinal é importante para se conhecer sua distribuição, sobretudo em biomas ameaçados como a mata atlântica. O presente estudo foi realizado na reserva particular do patrimônio natural (RPPN) Alto Montana, localizada no município de Itamonte, na Serra da Mantiqueira, Minas ...

Modelling the impacts of an invasive species across landscapes: a step-wise approach [PDF]

, 2014
We estimate the extent of ecological impacts of the invasive Asian paper wasp across different landscapes in New Zealand. We used: (i) a baseline distribution layer (modelled via MaxEnt); (ii) Asian paper wasp nest density (from >460 field plots, related

Social wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae) from Ducke Reserve, Amazonas, Brazil

Sociobiology, 2017
Social wasps are common elements in Neotropics, although even elementary data about this taxon in the Amazon region is partially unknown. Therefore the purpose of this work was to increase the knowledge of social wasp fauna at the Ducke Reserve. One hundred and three species belonging to nineteen genera were recorded.

Multi‐method approach to assessing the floral‐visiting insect assemblage of rare, ambophilous plant Baccharis vanessae in Southern California

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
In this study, we compare the accuracy of two different methods of monitoring to assess the insect assemblage of Encinitas Baccharis (Baccharis vanessae): focal observations and video recordings from camera traps. The insect vectors identified were as expected given B. vanessae pollination syndrome.

Exploring the Potential of Perennial Nectar‐Producing Wild Plants for Pellet Combustion

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2024.
Diversifying agricultural systems can foster biodiversity. For example, incorporating perennial, nectar‐rich wild plants into biogas cropping systems promotes biodiversity conservation while maintaining energy production. When left standing over the winter, wild plants provide a broader range of ecosystem services and a higher energy yield via pellet ...
