From:Science (Vol. 292, Issue 5526) Peer-ReviewedAnimal signaling is usually studied in terms of just two parties--sender and receiver. Doutrelant et al. show that the nature of one-to-one communication can be altered by the presence of an onlooker. Male Siamese...

From:Science (Vol. 300, Issue 5622) Peer-ReviewedOne of the best examples of mutualism--evolved interdependence between two species of organism--is the relationship between figs and their pollinating wasps. Female wasps pollinate some of the fig's flowers, which are...

From:Prairie Schooner (Vol. 88, Issue 4)Last spring, wasps took over the bluebird house. Squatters gnawing out the entryway for the wood and saliva soup needed for nests. Good tenants they were too-- clean, quiet, busy: each egg nestled in its hexagonal crib,...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 9, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Valerie E. Peters * Introduction The relatively low degree of spatiotemporal variation in flower and fruit availability in Neotropical forests has favored the evolution of more diverse communities of...

From:Evolution (Vol. 49, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedGenetic variation in the ability of wasps to successfully parasitize an aphid host is investigated. The results show that there is a significant degree of genetic variance within the population that was studied. Additive...

From:Tribulus (Vol. 18) Peer-ReviewedA great number of adult nocturnal moth species belonging to many different families are attracted to artificial light, particularly ultraviolet light. The phenomenon is so well known that light trapping has, for more...

From:Brazilian Journal of Biology (Vol. 71, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe genus Hymenoepimecis Viereck, 1912, included in Polysphincta genus-group (sensu Wahl and Gauld 1998), is currently represented by 14 species distributed from Mexico and Cuba to Southern Brazil (Gauld, 2000; Gauld...

From:Brazilian Journal of Biology (Vol. 71, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedParasitoids are of great importance to forest ecosystems due to their ecological role in the regulation of the population of other insects. The species richness and abundance of parasitoids in the forest canopy and...

From:The Western Journal of Medicine (Vol. 170, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedStinging events involving honey bees and wasps are rare; most deaths or clinically important incidents involve very few stings ([is less than] 10) and anaphylactic shock. However, mass stinging events can prove...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedSpecies within the same trophic level show different strategies to avoid competition. Among these mechanisms, differences in body size, spatio-temporal segregation, and diet preference often leads to a niche...

From:Pacific Science (Vol. 67, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe seasonal life cycle of Zatypota albicoxa, an ectoparasitoid of the house spider, Parasteatoda tepidariorum, was examined in Toon, in warm-temperate southwestern Japan. The larvae were found all year round, but eggs,...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 15, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedThe yellow-legged hornet, Vespa velutina nigrithorax (Hymenoptera: Vespidae, Lepeletier 1836), is native to Southeast Asia and has been unintentionally introduced in France. The species is spreading in many areas of the...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 4, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedDiploid males in hymenopterans are generally either inviable or sterile, thus imposing a severe genetic load on populations. In species with the widespread single locus complementary sex determination (sl-CSD), sex...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 3, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedGiant honeybees (Apis dorsata) nest in the open and have evolved a plethora of defence behaviors. Against predatory wasps, including hornets, they display highly coordinated Mexican wave-like cascades termed...
-
From:PeerJ (Vol. 4) Peer-ReviewedTemperature and host stage are important factors that determine the successful development of parasitoids. Aenasius bambawalei Hayat (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) is a primary parasitoid of the newly invasive mealybug,...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedWhen the cerambycid, Phoracantha recurva, invaded California in the mid 1990's a parasitoid wasp was imported from its native range in Australia as part of a biological control program. The wasp was later identified to...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedGall wasps (Cynipidae) represent the most spectacular radiation of gall-inducing insects. In addition to true gall formers, gall wasps also include phytophagous inquilines, which live inside the galls induced by gall...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedRecent studies have reported incipient morphological caste dimorphism in the Van der Vecht organ size of some temperate Polistes paper wasps. Whether species other than the temperate ones show a similar pattern remains...
