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

Natural Biological Control of Diaphania spp. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) by Social Wasps
Sociobiology, 2014 The social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) are important agents of biological control for agricultural pests. Diaphania hyalinata L. and Diaphania nitidalis Cramer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) are among the main pests of plants in the Cucurbitaceae family ...

The roles of barriers, refugia, and chromosomal clines underlying diversification in Atlantic Forest social wasps. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Phylogeographic studies have sought to explain the genetic imprints of historical climatic changes and geographic barriers within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (AF) biota, and consequently two processes of diversification (refugia and barriers) have been

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 ...

Social Wasps (Vespinae) in Urban Gardens and Woods
Annales Zoologici Fennici, 2020 Global change, including urbanization, affects species ecology. Social wasps (Vespinae) are ubiquitous in urban areas, which increases their encounters with humans. We studied social wasps in urban gardens and nearby urban woods in central Finland, using

Social Wasps in Exotic Forest Planting and Atlantic Rainforest in the Neotropical Region
Sociobiology, 2020 Social wasps play an important role in communities, whether in natural or agricultural ecosystems, performing pollination and/or predation on other organisms, especially caterpillars, which reveals their potential for biological control.
