The Australian social wasps (Hymenoptera : Vespidae).
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1978The social wasps of Australia are described, together with a few from New Guinea which are allied to the Australian ones and contribute to the understanding of their taxonomic position. The larvae and the nesting habits of the wasps are described so far as they are known. Three genera occur in Australia.

Social Wasp (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) Foraging Behavior
Annual Review of Entomology, 2000▪ Abstract Social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) forage for water, pulp, carbohydrates, and animal protein. When hunting, social wasps are opportunistic generalists and use a variety of mechanisms to locate and choose prey. Individual foragers are influenced by past foraging experience and by the presence of other foragers on resources.

Natural Thermoelectric Heat Pump in Social Wasps
Physical Review Letters, 2003Photographs of wasps or hornets, taken with different temperature sensitive infrared cameras, reveal body temperatures that are sometimes significantly lower than the ambient temperature. This suggests that the hornets possess an intrinsic biological heat pump mechanism which can be used to achieve such cooling.

Social lives of the other social wasps
1993Abstract For a long time, the basic social system of the wasps and hornets of the subfamily Vespinae was thought to be exclusively haplometrotic (Jeanne 1980; Akre 1982). Although their nests all have multiple combs and envelopes similar to those of the nests of Polybia and some Ropalidia (subgenus Icarielia), no case of swarm-founding ...

Systematics and sociality of wasps
1993Abstract The order Hymenoptera is divided into two suborders, Symphyta and Apocrita, and the latter is further divided into Terebrantia and Aculeata. Eusociality only occurs in the Aculeata and one group of the Terebrantia, the Chalcidoidea, in which one species, Capidosomopsis tanytmemus has sterile, defensive larvae, like aphid ...

Kin recognition in social wasps
1996Abstract During the past 15 years, a substantial literature has documented that a diversity of hymenopterans have the ability to recognize their conspecific nestmates (Fletcher and Michener 1987; Hepper 1991). Typically, colony members accept nestmates but exclude non-nestmates. Almost all studies of nestmate or kin recognition in social
