On the Tropical Nature of an Intense Mediterranean Cyclone in the Ocean‐Atmosphere System
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.Abstract The Mediterranean basin hosts a large number of cyclones every year. Among them, some rare cases named medicanes present similarities with tropical cyclones but their dynamical characteristics are debated. The ocean‐atmosphere dynamics of Medicane Ianos (2020) are studied here through km‐scale fully coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere simulations ...

Prey identification in nests of the potter wasp Hypodynerus andeus (Packard) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) using DNA barcodes [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2014 Prey identification in nests of the potter wasp Hypodynerus andeus (Packard) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) using DNA barcodes. Geometrid larvae are the only prey known for larvae of the Neotropical potter wasp Hypodynerus andeus (Packard, 1869) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) in the coastal valleys of the northern Chilean Atacama Desert.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

To provide pollinator nesting habitat, cut dead perennial stems in their first winter
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 933-944, July 2026.Garden management practises need to consider stem‐nesting bees and wasps to avoid destroying active nests and important nesting materials. Volunteers collected samples of dead stems (in situ where they grew) in winter, spring, summer and fall as part of a participatory research project.

Castes and Polymorphisms in Neotropical Social Wasps
, 2020 Neotropical social wasps have a set of chimeric characteristics that make them unique and difficult to fit into current theories on the evolution of social behavior (Noll and Wenzel, Biol J Linn Soc 93: 509-22, 2008).

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1235-1254, June 2026.ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Distribution of potter wasps ( Vespidae, Eumeninae) in Mongolia
Вестник Бурятского государственного университета, 2013 In this article we summarized distributions of 75 potter wasp species of Mongolia. Each species distribition were transfered into geographic information system (GIS) and drawn in map. New distribution points in Mongolia of 17 species were included.

Chemoecology, 2013 Predatory arthropods are attracted to infochemicals emitted by their herbivore prey or by the prey’s host plants. We studied such a tritrophic system measuring the olfactory responses of three potter wasp species (Symmorphusmurarius, Symmorphusgracilis, Discoeliuszonalis, Hymenoptera: Eumeninae) to salicylaldehyde, sequestered as a defence compound by ...
