Reproductive aspects of the Purple-throated Euphonia, Euphonia chlorotica (Aves: Fringillidae) in southeastern Brazil, and first record of the species nesting inside a vespiary

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2017
Despite the fact that E. chlorotica (Linnaeus, 1766) is common and widely distributed in South America, the reproductive aspects of the species are poorly documented. Here we present data on 18 active nests found from August to February, between 2007 and

Life History and the Transitions to Eusociality in the Hymenoptera

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Although indirect selection through relatives (kin selection) can explain the evolution of effectively sterile offspring that act as helpers at the nest (eusociality) in the ants, bees, and stinging wasps (aculeate Hymenoptera), the genetic, ecological ...

Nestmate Recognition in Social Insects: What Does It Mean to Be Chemically Insignificant?

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Social insects use the blend of hydrocarbons present on their cuticle to efficiently distinguish nestmates from aliens. Intruders must therefore find a strategy to break the recognition code in order to exploit the colony resources. Twenty years ago, the

Host-natural enemy communities in a changing world: The impact of forest loss on cavity-nesting Hymenoptera and their natural enemies [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Cavity-nesting bees and wasps provide important ecosystem services for humans. This study aimed to understand how the replacement of forests with non-forest habitats affects the structure and interaction network of cavity-nesting bees, wasps, and their ...

Rossiter-McLaughlin Effect Measurements for WASP-16, WASP-25 and WASP-31 [PDF]

, 2012
We present new measurements of the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect for three WASP planetary systems, WASP-16, WASP-25 and WASP-31, from a combined analysis of their complete sets of photometric and spectroscopic data. We find a low amplitude RM effect for WASP-16 (Teff = 5700 \pm 150K), suggesting that the star is a slow rotator and thus of an advanced
