Unsuccessful attacks dominate a drone-preying wasp's hunting performance near stingless bee nests
(Funpec-editora, 2009-01-01)
Bee males (drones) of stingless bees tend to congregate near entrances of conspecific nests, where they wait for virgin queens that initiate their nuptial flight. We observed that the Neotropical solitary wasp Trachypus ...

Long-term spatial memory in Vespula germanica social wasps: the influence of past experience on foraging behavior
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-10)
Social insects exhibit complex learning and memory mechanisms while foraging. Vespula germanica (Fab.) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) is an invasive social wasp that frequently forages on undepleted food sources, making several ...

Learning in Vespula germanica social wasps: situations of unpredictable food locations
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2016-08)
Vespula germanica is a social wasp that frequently forages on carrion, making several trips between un-depleted resources and the nest. In the present study, we analyze this food relocation behavior, evaluating V. germanica ...
The influence of past experience on wasp choice related to foraging behavior
(Wiley, 2013-12)
Memory has been little studied in social wasps. Vespula germanica (Fab.) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) frequently revisits nondepleted food sources, making several trips between the resource and the nest. In this study, we ...
