Foraging behaviour of the exotic wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) on a native caterpillar defoliator
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-09-15)
Vespula germanica is a social wasp and an opportunistic predator. While foraging, these wasps learn and integrate different kinds of cues. They have successfully invaded many parts of the world, including native Nothofagus ...
Dispersal behaviour of yellowjacket (Vespula germanica) queens
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03-02)
Understanding the factors that affect animal dispersal behavior is important from both fundamental and applied perspectives. Dispersal can have clear evolutionary and ecological consequences, but for nonnative insect pests, ...

Foraging experience modulates response to aversive odour cues in social wasps
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-06)
Experience can modify how animals respond to relevant stimuli from their environment, for example, through associative learning. In particular, odour stimuli play a central role in foraging by influencing decision making. ...
Learning in an exotic social wasp while relocating a food source
(Elsevier, 2014-06)
In this paper we review several studies on V. germanica behavioral plasticity while relocating a food source in natural environments. This exotic social wasp, which has become established in many parts of the world, displays ...

Heptyl butyrate, a putative pheromone involved in social communication of Vespula germanica wasps
(2018-02)
Greater knowledge on the social communication of invasive Vespula germanica wasps is needed to fully understand their foraging behavior. This is particularly valuable considering that poison baiting is currently the only ...
Foraging niche separation of social wasps in an invaded area: Implications for their management
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2019-10)
Foraging niche separation may be a mechanism to promote coexistence of two competing species by concentrating intraspecific competition relative to interspecific competition. The present study investigated foraging behavior ...
