Spruce Budworm and Other Lepidopterous Prey of Eumenid Wasps (Hymenoptera: Eumenidae) in Spruce-Fir Forests of Maine [PDF]
, 2017 Three species of eumenid wasps, Ancistrocerus adiabatus, Ancistrocerus antilope, and Euodynerus Ieucomelas, accepted and provisioned trap-nesting blocks with lepidopterous larvae, A pyralid. Nephopteryx sp., was the most commonly provisioned prey.

The Cavity-Nesting Bee Guild (Apoidea) in a Neotropical Sandy Coastal Plain
Sociobiology, 2018 Some solitary bees establish their nests in preexisting cavities. Such nesting behavior facilitates the investigation of their life history, as well as the monitoring of their populations in natural, semi-natural and cropped habitats. This study aimed to

Methods for Artificial Rearing of Solitary Eumenid Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae) [PDF]
, 2017 Solitary eumenid wasps of the genera Ancistrocerus and Euodynerus can be reared in small cages. Laboratory-reared larvae of the spruce budworm caterpillars, Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Torlricidae) are suitable ...

Prey selection in the trap-nesting wasp Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) opacum Brèthes (Hymenprtera; Crabronidae) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2010 The purpose of our research was to document and discuss the temporal patterns of prey use shown by the trap-nesting wasp Trypoxylon opacum in two different habitats in Southern Brazil. It was carried out from December 2001 to December 2004. Twenty nine species belonging to five families of spiders were captured by T. opacum.

Managing trap‐nesting bees as crop pollinators: Spatiotemporal effects of floral resources and antagonists [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2017 Abstract The decline of managed honeybees and the rapid expansion of mass‐flowering crops increase the risk of pollination limitation in crops and raise questions about novel management approaches for wild pollinators in agroecosystems. Adding artificial nesting sites, such as trap nests, can promote cavity‐nesting bees in agroecosystems, but ...

A unique nest-protection strategy in a new species of spider wasp.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hymenoptera show a great variation in reproductive potential and nesting behavior, from thousands of eggs in sawflies to just a dozen in nest-provisioning wasps. Reduction in reproductive potential in evolutionary derived Hymenoptera is often facilitated

Rain forest promotes trophic interactions and diversity of trap‐nesting Hymenoptera in adjacent agroforestry [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2006 SummaryHuman alteration of natural ecosystems to agroecosystems continues to accelerate in tropical countries. The resulting world‐wide decline of rain forest causes a mosaic landscape, comprising simple and complex agroecosystems and patchily distributed rain forest fragments of different quality.
