WASPs with memory

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003
![Graphic][1] In inactive WASP, Tyr 291 (purple) is hidden between two domains. Rosen/ElsevierMemory may not be confined to brain cells. Eduardo Torres and Michael Rosen (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX) have found that the actin polymerization ...

Tracking large bees in open landscapes with active radio tags—Advantages and challenges using stationary receivers

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Studying the spatial ecology of ecologically relevant species supports the development of effective conservation strategies. Recent technological advancements in remote tracking methods now enable researchers to study large flower‐visiting insects and important pollinators, such as carpenter bees.

The Oriental hornet, Vespa orientalis Linnaeus, 1771 (Hymenoptera, Vespidae): diagnosis, potential distribution, and geometric morphometrics across its natural distribution range

Frontiers in Insect Science
We present a short review of the biology, diagnostic characteristics, and invasiveness of the Oriental hornet, Vespa orientalis. We also performed an analysis of the shape of the forewings (geometric morphometrics) of different geographic groups along ...

From cities to refuges for pollinators: Urban practices for enhancing pollinator habitats in changing landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
A framework for the support of pollinators in urban areas is developed here, based on five pillars: nesting, flower resources, artificial support, management and society acceptance, with additional key elements from science and society. Society should incorporate strategies for pollinators as in this framework by means of co‐planning with stakeholders,

Nest Characteristics and Prey Selection of Sceliphron destillatorium (Apoidea, Sphecidae) on the Territory of the Rivnenskyi Nature Reserve

Zoodiversity
The nesting behaviour and prey selection of Sceliphron destillatorium remains poorly studied in Ukraine. In the present study we analysed a total of 59 nests of S. destillatorium. The main morphometric parameters of S.

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

, 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

Generalist predators function as pest specialists: Examining diet composition of spiders and ladybeetles across rice crop stages

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
By quantifying the diet composition of GAPs over crop stages, farm types and years, this study reveals that generalist predators have potential to produce a stable, predictable top‐down effect on pests in rice agro‐ecosystems. Therefore, promoting the field densities of ubiquitous generalist predators will likely enhance pest management and support ...

Stellar obliquity measurements of six gas giants [PDF]

arXiv
One can infer the orbital alignment of exoplanets with respect to the spin of their host stars using the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, thereby giving us the chance to test planet formation and migration theories and improve our understanding of the currently observed population.
