Pushing wasps to work: decentralized aggression induces increased activity in the paper wasp polistes versicolor
(Journal of Insect Behavior, 2018)
Chubutolithes gaimanensis and other wasp ichnofossils: breaking through the taphonomic barrier
(Kansas Entomological Soc, 2004-12)
Wasp ichnofossils are scarce in the record because of their low preservational potential. Evidence comprises perforations in bee cells, cocoons, and paper and mud nests, whose preservation may involve the most unusual ...
Structural organization of the social paper wasp (Hymenoptera: Polistinae) assemblage along a latitudinal gradient in the Atlantic Rainforest: correlating fauna partitioning to biodiversity centers
(Springer, 2016-08-01)
Based on species endemism, three biodiversity centers, called Ecological Corridors have been proposed as one of the main conservation strategies for the Atlantic Rain Forest. This study tested whether the organization of ...
Social wasps are effective biocontrol agents of key lepidopteran crop pests
(2019-11-06)
Biocontrol agents can help reduce pest populations as part of an integrated pest management scheme, with minimal environmental consequences. However, biocontrol agents are often non-native species and require significant ...
Morphological features and occurrence of degenerative characteristics in the hypopharyngeal glands of the paper wasp Polistes versicolor (Olivier) (Hymenoptera : Vespidae)
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-01-01)
Different histochemical techniques were applied to examine the morphological features of the secretory cells of hypopharyngeal glands in the wasp Polistes versicolor. The results showed that most analyzed individuals present ...

Winter aggregations, colony cycle, and seasonal phenotypic change in the paper wasp Polistes versicolor in subtropical Brazil
(Springer, 2006-10-01)
Social wasps from temperate zones have clear annual colony cycles, and the young queens hibernate during winter. In the subtropics, the only previously reported evidence for the existence of hibernation is the facultative ...
