Abstract:

The social vespid wasps are common insect predators and several species behave in unison in the same biotopes. It is commonly accepted that social wasps are mainly opportunistic generalist predators without differences in prey selection and hence they compete for the same food resources. Trophic positions of six vespid wasp species and their potential prey from four sites in Finland and one in the UK were evaluated using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ 13 C and δ 15 N). The difference in isotope values indicated different trophic positions among species. In general, Dolichovespula spp. showed higher δ 15 N values than Vespula spp., which suggests that Dolichovespula forage on higher trophic levels. Dolichovespula media (Retzius, 1783) showed the highest δ 15 N values, whereas Vespula vulgaris showed the lowest. Dolichovespula media partly expresses apex predator-like δ 15 N values, whereas Vespula species tend to forage on primary consumers. The largest species Vespa crabro (Linnaeus, 1758) showed also similar δ 15 N values as Vespula spp. However, δ 13 C and δ 15 N values of V. vulgaris workers varied slightly during the season. This study offers novel insights about the trophic segregation in the social wasp community, suggesting specialization in diet resource utilization, especially between Dolichovespula and Vespula .

Abstract:

The wasp genus Dolichovespula (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Vespinae) is a eusocial wasp group. Due to the taxonomic and phylogenetic issues with the family Vespidae, more genetic data should be gathered to provide efficient approaches for precise molecular identification. For this work, we used next-generation sequencing (also known as high-throughput sequencing) to sequence the mitochondrial genomes (mtgenomes) of four Dolichovespula species, viz. D. flora, D. lama, D. saxonica, and D. xanthicincta 16,064 bp, 16,011 bp, 15,682 bp, and 15,941 bp in length, respectively. The mitochondrial genes of the four species are rearranged. The A + T content of each mtgenome is more than 80%, with a control region (A + T-rich region), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. There are 7 to 11 more genes on the majority strands than on the minority strands. Using Bayesian inference and Maximum-Likelihood methodologies as well as data from other species available on GenBank, phylogenetic trees and relationship assessments in the genus Dolichovespula and the family Vespidae were generated. The two fossil-based calibration dates were used to estimate the origin of eusociality and the divergence time of clades in the family Vespidae. The divergence times indicate that the latest common ancestor of the family Vespidae appeared around 106 million years ago (Ma). The subfamily Stenogastrinae diverged from other Vespidae at about 99 Ma, the subfamily Eumeninae at around 95 Ma, and the subfamily Polistinae and Vespinae diverged at approximately 42 Ma. The genus Dolichovespula is thought to have originated around 25 Ma. The origin and distribution pattern of the genus Dolichovespula are briefly discussed.

Abstract:

The species of paper wasps in the tribe Vespini, family Vespidae from America North of Mexico are reviewed, including a new identification key to the genera and species, complete synonymy, distribution and biology. This fauna includes six species of <em>Dolichovespula </em>Rohwer, three species of <em>Vespa </em>Linnaeus and 13 species of <em>Vespula</em> Thomson. No Holarctic species are recognized, with the result that <em>Dolichovespula arctica</em> (Rohwer) and <em>Vespula intermedia</em> (du Buysson) are again recognized as species, while <em>Vespula infernalis</em> (de Saussure) is given new status as a species.

Abstract:

In social vespine wasps, the nest characteristics and associates vary intra- and interspecifically. I studied the nest characteristics and nest associates of three Dolichovespula wasp species in boreal Finland. The average number of combs and cells per nest was similar among D. media, D. saxonica and D. norwegica, and similar to Dolichovespula in the temperate zone. Most D. media and D. saxonica colonies produced both gynes and males, whereas D. norwegica produced mainly either one. The average colony lifespan of D. saxonica was a bit over two months, i.e. shorter than documented for Dolichovespula in the temperate zone. The proportion of nests parasitised by the ichneumonid wasp Sphecophaga vesparum was 36% in D. saxonica and 50% in D. media; S. vesparum has not been recorded from D. media before. The proportion of parasitized cells was 0.6–11% for D. saxonica and 0.2–22% for D. media. The proportion yellow, overwintering cocoons of S. vesparum was highly variable among the nests. The proportion of nests parasitised by the moth Aphomia sociella was 36% in D. saxonica and 13% in D. media. Sphecophaga and Aphomia were not recorded from D. norwegica colonies, which supports studies in the temperate zone. The study adds up to the previous research on the nest structure and nest associates of vespines, and together they indicate that there is geographical variation within Europe and globally in the host use of Sphecophaga.

Abstract:

Using Moericke&rsquo;s yellow dishes we studied the Hymenoptera (Aculeata) fauna (with the exception of Formicoidea) in spruce (Picea abies) stands of the colder region of Northern Bohemia. We collected 103 species and the most important species in this spectrum were Vespula vulgaris (56.4%), Vespula rufa (4.7%), Dolichovespula norvegica (3.1%), Dolichovespula saxonica (4%), Nysson spinosus (1.8%), Andrena lappona (1.9%), Cleptes semiauratus (5.9%), Halictus sp. (6.7%) and Trypoxylon minus (2.2%). Comparisons made in 1990&ndash;1994 and 1995&ndash;1999 indicated a recession of species of the genus Halictus, of Andrena nitida (Apidae), Pemphredon lugubris, Trypoxylon clavicerum and T. minus (Sphecidae), and an increased abundance of Cleptes semiauratus (Cleptidae), Nysson spinosus (Sphecidae), Vespula vulgaris and V. rufa (Vespidae). Compared to closed stands, open spruce stands had a greater species diversity and lower number of captured specimens.

Abstract:

As vespas sociais são importantes no estudo da evolução do comportamento social por suas colônias apresentarem diferentes graus de diferenciação de castas ? desde morfologicamente similares até distintas, associado à eventual presença de fêmeas intermediárias, que apresentam ovários desenvolvidos e não são inseminadas. Dentro da família Vespidae são encontrados três subfamílias de vespas sociais, Stenogastrinae, Polistinae e Vespinae. A diferenciação entre as castas é interessante, pois ausência de diferenciação entre as castas foi visto em Stenogastrinae, enquanto que em Vespinae, o dimorfismo entre elas é bastante evidente. Já em Polistinae, a diferenciação de castas tanto pode ser tanto discreta quanto distinta, tornando-a intermediária entre Vespinae e Stenogastrinae. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar as diferenças morfológicas e fisiológicas entre as castas de Protopolybia chartergoides (Polistinae) e Dolichovespula maculata (Vespinae) por meio de análises morfométricas, associadas com análises estatísticas multivariadas e avaliações fisiológicas do desenvolvimento ovariano das fêmeas. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que as diferenças morfológicas entre as castas de P. chartergoides foram baixas e diferenças fisiológicas foram encontradas, destacando três tipos de fêmeas: rainhas, operárias e intermediárias. Em D. maculata, a diferenciação morfológica é evidente e as diferenças fisiológicas indicaram a clara distinção entre rainhas e operárias, e ausência de intermediárias. Deste modo foi possível sugerir que Protopolybia chartergoides apresenta diferenciação de castas pós-imaginal (ou uma forma muito sutil de diferenciação pré-imaginal) e Dolichovespula maculata apresenta determinação pré-imaginal.
