Chemoreceptor Evolution in Hymenoptera and Its Implications for the Evolution of Eusociality. [PDF]

, 2015
Eusocial insects, mostly Hymenoptera, have evolved unique colonial lifestyles that rely on the perception of social context mainly through pheromones, and chemoreceptors are hypothesized to have played important adaptive roles in the evolution of ...

The suppressive potential of a gene drive in populations of invasive social wasps is currently limited

Scientific Reports, 2023
Social insects are very successful invasive species, and the continued increase of global trade and transportation has exacerbated this problem. The yellow-legged hornet, Vespa velutina nigrithorax (henceforth Asian hornet), is drastically expanding its ...

Community Structure and Composition of Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in Different Vegetation Types in São Paulo, Brazil

Sociobiology, 2020
Social wasps participate in food webs, act as biological control agents in small crops and the natural environment, and act as potential pollinators. The objective of this study was to carry out an inventory of social wasps in five phytophysiognomies ...

Differential Properties of Venom Peptides and Proteins in Solitary vs. Social Hunting Wasps

Toxins, 2016
The primary functions of venoms from solitary and social wasps are different. Whereas most solitary wasps sting their prey to paralyze and preserve it, without killing, as the provisions for their progeny, social wasps usually sting to defend their ...

Inventory, colony fluctuation, and wasp nesting social habits in IFSULDEMINAS - Machado Campus

Revista Agrogeoambiental, 2021
Social wasps offer important ecosystem resources as biological control and pollination. Many species are synanthropic, however, there are still few studies of these insects in anthropized environments.

Social wasps are a Saccharomyces mating nest [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016
Significance Despite the widespread interest on Saccharomyces cerevisiae , its wild lifestyle is far from being completely understood, with one of the most resounding examples being its sexual attitude.

Nesting associations between Chartergus globiventris Saussure (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) and Tolmomyias sulphurescens Spix (Passeriformes: Tyrannidae) in southeastern Brazil

EntomoBrasilis, 2017
. The success of social wasps is highly dependent on nest construction and colony maintenance. Species use different strategies to avoid nest predation, including forming associations with other insects and vertebrates. This study describes for the first

Sex-biased parental care and sexual size dimorphism in a provisioning arthropod [PDF]

, 2015
The diverse selection pressures driving the evolution of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) have long been debated. While the balance between fecundity selection and sexual selection has received much attention, explanations based on sex-specific ecology have ...
