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. We show that the intestine of social wasps favors the mating of

Social wasps in Spain: the who and where
Allergologia et Immunopathologia, 2022 Objective: The objective of this study was to list the social vespids occurring in Spain, determine their presence in each region, and correlate the data with the vespids responsible for allergic reactions and their progression over time. Methods: Insects distribution data were collected in two phases: from the southern half of Spain (2008–2012), and ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Social Learning in Vespula Germanica Wasps: Do They Use Collective Foraging Strategies? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Vespula germanica is a social wasp that has become established outside its native range in many regions of the world, becoming a major pest in the invaded areas. In the present work we analyze social communication processes used by V.
