WASP-54b, WASP-56b and WASP-57b: Three new sub-Jupiter mass planets from SuperWASP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
peer reviewedWe present three newly discovered sub-Jupiter mass planets from the SuperWASP survey: WASP-54b is a heavily bloated planet of mass 0.636+0.025-0.024RJ. It orbits a F9 star, evolving off the main sequence, every 3.69 days. Our MCMC fit of the

WASP-52b, WASP-58b, WASP-59b, and WASP-60b: Four new transiting close-in giant planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present the discovery of four new transiting hot jupiters, detected mainly from SuperWASP-North and SOPHIE observations. These new planets, WASP-52b, WASP-58b, WASP-59b, and WASP-60b, have orbital periods ranging from 1.7 to 7.9 days, masses between 0.

Biotremology of Social Wasps: The Next Step to Understand Wasps’ Social Life

open access: yes, 2022
Vibrational communication, the use of the surface-borne component of mechanical waves, is widespread in arthropods, but its role is almost unknown for the majority of species. The preponderance of other communication modalities has often masked the occurrence of vibrational communication, even when observations suggested that substrate-borne waves were

Occurrence of Megaselia scalaris Loew (Diptera: Phoridae) in Mischocyttarus cassununga Von Ihering (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae) nests

open access: yesEntomoBrasilis, 2022
Social wasp nests create an environment rich in resources, such as food and shelter, which consequently attract predators, parasites, and parasitoids. Parasitoids attacks can be one of the main causes of mortality among social wasps in the early stages ...

A window on exoplanet dynamical histories: Rossiter-McLaughlin observations of WASP-13b and WASP-32b [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present Rossiter-McLaughlin observations of WASP-13b and WASP-32b and determine the sky-projected angle between the normal of the planetary orbit and the stellar rotation axis (λ).

Camponotus renggeri (Formicidae) predated Agelaia vicina (Vespidae) nest and occupied Parachartergus pseudapicalis (Vespidae) nest

open access: yesSociobiology, 2022
Ants prey on social wasps affecting the evolution of nest architecture, defense behaviors, and selection of nesting sites of these insects. The importance of social wasps in natural and agricultural ecosystems, especially in biological control ...

Effect of forest fragment size on Polistinae (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) in a transitional area of Cerrado and Atlantic Forest in south central Minas Gerais state, Brazil

open access: yesEntomoBrasilis, 2022
Ecosystem fragmentation negatively affects biological diversity and compromises different environmental services. This situation occurs in two important biomes in Brazil, the Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado. There is little information on the effects of

Analysis of Spin-Orbit Alignment in the WASP-32, WASP-38, and HAT-P-27/WASP-40 Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
peer reviewedWe present measurements of the spin-orbit alignment angle, λ, for the hot Jupiter systems WASP-32, WASP-38, and HAT-P-27/WASP-40, based on data obtained using the HARPS spectrograph.

Parachartergus fraternus (Gribodo) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae) Uses Venom When Taking Caterpillar Prey

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2000
A forager of the eusocial wasp Parachartergus fraternus used its venom to subdue an unidentified small caterpillar, and another P. fraternus forager repeatedly stung a large saturniid caterpillar.

Differential Gene Expression and Protein Abundance Evince Ontogenetic Bias toward Castes in a Primitively Eusocial Wasp [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Polistes paper wasps are models for understanding conditions that may have characterized the origin of worker and queen castes and, therefore, the origin of paper wasp sociality.
