Frequency and consequences of the collection of already parasitized caterpillars by a potter wasp [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractMaladaptive behaviors reflecting a “bad” choice of habitat or resource have been widely documented; however, their persistence is often difficult to interpret. The potter waspDelta dimidiatipenneconstructs mud cells, in each of which it lays a single egg and places several caterpillars to feed its offspring.

First evidence of wasp brood development inside active nests of a termite with the description of a previously unknown potter wasp species [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
AbstractPotter wasps (Vespidae: Eumeninae) are known to exhibit not only sophisticated preying strategies but also a remarkable ability to manipulate clay during nest building. Due to a mixture of plasticity in building behavior and flexibility in substrate preferences during nest building, the group has been reported nesting in a variety of places ...

Floral scent and pollinators of the holoparasite Pilostyles thurberi (Apodanthaceae)

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2014
Floral scent is likely important to the pollination of parasitic plants, despite that it has not been well-studied. We studied the pollination ecology of the North American stem holoparasite Pilostyles thurberi (Apodanthaceae) at two field sites in Texas.

A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.
