Target enrichment of ultraconserved elements from arthropods provides a genomic perspective on relationships among Hymenoptera

, 2014
Gaining a genomic perspective on phylogeny requires the collection of data from many putatively independent loci collected across the genome. Among insects, an increasingly common approach to collecting this class of data involves transcriptome ...

Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the tropical hornet Vespa affinis (Insecta, Hymenoptera) [PDF]

, 2017
We analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the Asian tropical hornet Vespa affinis from Ishigaki Island, Japan. It consisted of a circular molecule with 19,109 bp, which is larger to other hornet species e.g. V. velutina.

Genomic Evidence for Dual Introductions, Limited Gene Flow and Niche Preferences in the Invasive Wasp Vespula germanica in South Africa

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are major drivers of recent biodiversity changes, yet the genetic structure and ecological mechanisms underlying invasion dynamics remain poorly resolved in invasive social insects. In South Africa, the European wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), introduced in the 1970s, has spread remarkably more slowly than ...

Phylogenomics and biogeography of the cleptoparasitic bee genus Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), with a revised subgeneric classification of Triepeolus and its sister genus, Epeolus Latreille Filogenómica y biogeografía del género de abejas cleptoparásitas Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), con una clasificación subgenérica revisada para Triepeolus y su género hermano, Epeolus Latreille

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
A subgeneric classification is proposed for Triepeolus—the second‐largest genus of cleptoparasitic apid bees in the world—and its sister genus Epeolus, with support from a newly presented dated phylogeny. Phylogenomic analysis based on ultraconserved elements revealed strong support for the monophyly of Triepeolus, which diverged from Epeolus sometime ...

When a parasite breaks all the rules of a colony:morphology and fate of wasps infected by a strepsipteran endoparasite [PDF]

, 2011
The macroparasite Xenos vesparum affects both the behaviour and the physical traits of its host, the social wasp Polistes dominulus. Female wasps, if parasitized, do not perform any social tasks and desert the colony to gather at specific sites, where ...

Rapid ecological assessment of wasp fauna (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) of the Serra do Divisor National Park, Acre, Brazil [PDF]

, 2008
O Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor (PNSD), localizado a noroeste do Estado do Acre, é considerado uma das áreas de maior diversidade da Amazônia. A importância de se considerar insetos em programas de conservação tem sido muito enfatizada.

Diversity of Social Wasps in the Campus of the “Universidade Federal de Viçosa” in Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil

Sociobiology, 2014
Social wasps can be used as ecological indicators. However, the diversity of species of this group in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, is poorly studied, especially in anthropized environments.

A nesting aggregation of the solitary bee Megachile atrata (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in the Philippines [PDF]

, 2017
A nesting aggregation of Megachile (Creightonella) atrata Smith in the Philippines comprised almost 300 active nests.  The bees in rapid flight resemble the hornet Vespa tropica Linnaeus. The nest structure is similar to that reported for M.
