Foraging behavior interactions between two non-native social wasps, Vespula germanica and V. vulgaris: implications for invasion success?
(University of Arizona, 2016-08-08)
Vespula vulgaris is an invasive scavenging social wasp that has very recently arrived in Patagonia (Argentina), a territory previously invaded -35 years earlier- by another wasp, V. germanica. Although V. vulgaris wasps ...
Phytophagous insect fauna tracks host plant responses to exotic grass invasion
(SPRINGER, 2011)
The high dependence of herbivorous insects on their host plants implies that plant invaders can affect these insects directly, by not providing a suitable habitat, or indirectly, by altering host plant availability. In ...
A Potential Role for Phenotypic Plasticity in Invasions and Declines of Social Insects
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-10)
Eusociality, a form of animal social organization involving sterile and reproductive castes, is a rare, but highly ecologically successful form of life. There are striking examples of eusocial species with populations that ...
Spatial pattern of attacks of the invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio, at landscape and stand scales
(Public Library of Science, 2015-05-18)
Invasive insect pests are responsible for important damage to native and plantation forests, when population outbreaks occur. Understanding the spatial pattern of attacks by forest pest populations is essential to improve ...
Population and leaf-level variation of iridoid glycosides in the invasive weed Verbascum thapsus L. (common mullein): implications for herbivory by generalist insects
(Springer, 2013-06)
Plant-insect interactions, which are strongly mediated by chemical defenses, have the potential to shape invasion dynamics. Despite this, few studies have quantified natural variation in key defensive compounds of invasive ...

Mate-searching behavior in the invasive German wasp, Vespula germanica, in Patagonia
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-07)
In order to increase the probability of reproduction, social insects can adopt various mate-finding strategies, such as increasing densities of males at specific locations, and/or visual and chemical cues that attract the ...
