The phylogeny of the social wasp subfamily Polistinae: evidence from microsatellite flanking sequences, mitochondrial COI sequence, and morphological characters

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2004
Background Social wasps in the subfamily Polistinae (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) have been important in studies of the evolution of sociality, kin selection, and within colony conflicts of interest.

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

Molecular signatures of alternative reproductive strategies in a facultatively social hover wasp

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, January 2024.
Abstract Social insect reproductives and non‐reproductives represent ideal models with which to understand the expression and regulation of alternative phenotypes. Most research in this area has focused on the developmental regulation of reproductive phenotypes in obligately social taxa such as honey bees, while relatively few studies have addressed ...

Behavioural evolution of Neotropical social wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae): the queen selection process

open access: yesCladistics, 2023
AbstractAll Epiponini wasps are polygynic, with multiple queens alternating over the colony cycle. There are several potential queens in the early stages of this cycle, but as it progresses, the number of queens is reduced. Because most individuals remain reproductively totipotent, there is great potential for conflicts over reproduction. Workers could

Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae) of the Jaú National Park, Amazonas, Brazil

open access: yesEntomoBrasilis, 2015
Social wasps are common elements in Neotropics, although even elementary data about this taxon in Amazon region is partially unknown. Therefore the purpose of this work was to increase the knowledge of social wasp fauna at Jaú National Park.
