On thermoregulation inVespula germanica(Fabr.) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) and other Vespidae
Abstract The vespid hymenopteran, Vespula germanica (Fabr.) regulates its thoracic temperature to around 33° - 38° C in environmental temperatures between 15° and 35° C. Thermal conductance of the thorax of V. germanica was found to increase from 1.6–2 mW/°C in still air to 2.7 mW/°C in air moving at a speed of 3 m/sec.
