Niche overlap and daily activity pattern of social wasps (Vespidae: Polistinae) in kale crops [PDF]
Kale (Brassica oleraceae var. acephala) is of great importance in human nutrition and local agricultural economies, but its growth is impaired by the attack of several insect pests.

Isolation and sequence analysis of peptides from the venom of Protonectarina sylveirae (hymenoptera‐vespidae) [PDF]
Three new venom peptides were isolated from the Brazilian wasp; Protonectarina sylveirae and their complete amino acid sequences were determined by Edman degradation as well as by FAB‐mass spectrometry.

Hyperalgesic and edematogenic effects of peptides isolated from the venoms of honeybee (Apis mellifera) and neotropical social wasps (Polybia paulista and Protonectarina sylveirae) [PDF]
Stings by bees and wasps, including Brazilian species, are a severe public health problem. The local reactions observed after the envenoming includes typical inflammatory response and pain.

Morphology of Richards' gland in the swarm-founding wasp (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) [PDF]
Richards' gland is known for the majority of Epiponini wasps, and despite few experimental evidences, the taxonomic distribution in swarm-founder species and the function of this gland remain rather unclear. This work presents a morphological description
