Generalists and specialists of brood parasitism in spider wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae)

open access: yes, 2023
Based on emergence records from trap nests and naturally occurring nests, we determined the brood parasitism behaviour of Irenangelus punctipleuris (Pompilidae: Ceropalinae) for the first time and that of Dipogon (Nipponodipogon) nagasei (Pompilidae ...

open access: yes, 2023
The use of common names for species and subspecies of North American spider wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) presents a variety of questions for pompilid specialists as most pompilid taxa are difficult to identify, even under the microscope.

No one‐size‐fits‐all: Trait‐dependent effects of local plant diversity on pollinators and pollination service in a densifying city

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Increasing local floral richness can support pollination success of specialised plants in dense urban landscapes. However, a floral enrichment strategy alone is less effective for generalist plants, which are typically more abundant in plant communities.

The first known troglomorphic, eyeless spider wasp (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae): Troglopompilus miracaecatus gen. et sp. nov. from the Nullarbor Caves, Western Australia

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Surveys of caves of the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia, revealed a remarkable assemblage of exceptionally well‐preserved mummified arthropods, comprising Araneae, Blattodea, Coleoptera and Chilopoda, all of which exhibit high levels of troglomorphism, lacking eyes and showing a number of other adaptations.

Conversion From Natural Broad‐Leaved Forest to Conifer Plantation Increases Relative Detritus Dependency of Aculeata Communities

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
We compared the community structure of Aculeata bees and wasps in natural deciduous broadleaved forests and two coniferous plantations (Cryptomeria japonica, “Sugi” and Chamaecyparis obtusa, “Hinoki”) in southern Kyushu, Japan. Compared with natural forests, the dependence of Aculeata communities on the detritus‐based food chain increased in both ...

Unveiling Wasps as Potential Pollinators: Floral Traits and Wasp Sociality Intensify Network Centrality in a Highly Diverse Tropical Ecosystem

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
