Ecology, Mating and Nesting of \u3ci\u3eTachypompilus Ferrugineus Nigrescens\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
An aggregation of Tachypompilus Jerrugineus nigrescens was studied during mid­ summer 1988 in Syracuse, NY. Wasp activity was focused on a 2 m high cemetery monument near a gravelly roadway.

Limited impacts of simulated soil disturbance by rewilded vertebrates on above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Rewilding with locally extinct terrestrial vertebrates has been a popular conservation initiative over the past few decades. Among the animals used for rewilding are the small‐ to medium‐sized vertebrates that forage in the soil and that have been lost from many ecosystems due to habitat destruction or predation by exotic species.

Activity schedule and foraging in Protopolybia sedula (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Protopolybia sedula is a social swarming wasp, widely spread throughout many countries in the Americas, including most of Brazil. Despite its distribution, studies of its behavioral ecology are scarce. This study aimed to describe its

Herbivores induce plant chemical defenses based on the identity of their attacking parasitoid

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Many parasitoids increase plant fitness by decreasing herbivore feeding damage. Solitary parasitoids (where only one individual completes development per host) generally cause their hosts to feed less than unparasitized herbivores, reducing pressure on plants to induce chemical defense production.

High β‐diversity in fig wasp communities driven by species turnover in widely distributed Neotropical fig trees

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27

Instincts of Wasps [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1899
PERHAPS it may interest your reviewer of Dr. and Mrs. Peckham's work “On the Instincts and Habits of the Solitary Wasps,” to learn that one of the main results in question has been already arrived at in a paper by the late Prof. Schiff, of Geneva, in Memoires de la Soc. de Physique et d'Histoire naturelle de Geneve, vol. xxviii., 1882–3.

Understanding Pollination in Urban Food Production: The Importance of Data Validation and Participant Feedback for Citizen Science Project Design

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urban agriculture depends on insect pollination, but knowledge gaps persist due to difficulties accessing diverse growing spaces. We developed a citizen science approach for monitoring insect visits to crops and compared grower‐collected data to that of a trained researcher while also gathering participant feedback.
