TESTING SCENARIOS: WASP SOCIAL BEHAVIOR

Cladistics, 1989
Abstract— A complex evolutionary model is tested with a cladistic approach. Cladograms constructed for all of the genera of social Vespidae are optimized for characters associated with social behavior. The character state assignments to the interior nodes are compared with the stages envisioned in the “polygynous family” hypothesis for the evolution of

Chemical Defense of Brood by a Social Wasp

Science, 1970
Ants are a constant threat to the nests of tropical social wasps. Adults of the neotropical social wasp Mischocyttarus drewseni apply a secretion to the nest stem which is repellent to ants foraging for food by scouting and recruiting, and effectively keeps them from gaining access to the nest and discovering the ...

Social lives of the other social wasps

1993
Abstract 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 ...
