Abstract:

Nest aggregations of mud dauber wasps increase substrate heterogeneity and provide suitable sites for colonization by other invertebrate species. The mud dauber wasp Sceliphron fuscum Klug, 1801 (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) abundantly occurs throughout the Seychelles Archipelago, Republic of Seychelles. Here, we estimated the taxonomic richness of the hymenopteran assemblage associated with S. fuscum’s nest aggregations, using material collected from the Inner Seychelles in 2016. Furthermore, we examine available historical survey data in order to assess possible changes in this association over decades. We discovered that from 1936 to 1938, seven hymenopteran species were associated with the nest aggregations of S. fuscum on Mahé and Praslin islands, representing six native taxa and one invasive species. From the material collected in 2016, we found one native and three invasive hymenopteran species associated to S. fuscum nests. Our findings could indicate a replacement of native species associated with the mud dauber wasps’ nest aggregations by recently introduced alien taxa on the Seychelles Archipelago.

Abstract:

Fragments of mud dauber wasp&rsquo;s nests dating from the Bronze Age (Noua culture, about 1500&ndash;1200 BC) from a Romanian archaeological site are described. The present discovery represents, to our knowledge, the first reported fragments of mud dauber nests recuperated from an archaeological site in Romania and probably among the rare ones from Europe. The archaeological site called Zoltan-&ldquo;Nisip&#259;rie&rdquo; is placed in the Covasna County, south-eastern Transylvania. The five fragments belong to two nests made by Sceliphron sp. wasps genus and they were described in terms of general and detailed morphology and morphometry. Two nest fragments preserve in situ secondary cells, showing evidence of nest reoccupation by other insects. Another important aspect of this discovery is the opportunity to extract and analyse a whole secondary cell from the original nest fragment. Various impressions of vegetal material (grass, straws etc.) and a seed on the nest fragments&rsquo; surface were observed using microscopic techniques. The preserved pieces recovered from archaeological investigations provide important data regarding the local environmental conditions during the recent period of Bronze Age in an anthropized environment of the Noua culture.

Abstract:

(1) Background: Sceliphron is a genus of sphecid wasps that build mud nests for reproduction. These wasps prey exclusively on spiders, and commonly inhabit human constructions. The nesting behaviour and prey selection of many Sceliphron species are well studied, but despite being a common insect in urban areas, Sceliphron formosum has never been comprehensively studied. (2) Methods: In this study, over 650 mud nests of S. formosum were collected, analysed and examined to establish prey preference, nest ecology and interspecific interactions. Prey preference was evaluated in terms of abundance, diversity and morphology. Preference in terms of morphology was estimated using body length to leg span ratio (BLR). (3) Results: S. formosum largely preys on ground-hunting spiders, among which Salticidae represented the most collected prey. In terms of prey size, S. formosum captures prey with a large BLR. Moreover, an unexpected discovery showed that the enclosed mud nests provide a micro niche that supports a wide variety of insects. Sixteen families and 23 species of insects were found associated with the use of mud nests, comprising the insect orders Hymenoptera, Diptera and Coleoptera. These included important pollinators, new species and native species not recorded in the past 20 years of mud dauber wasp research. We propose the potential of S. formosum as a keystone species, due to its ability to provide a micro niche for native species in urban areas. We also discuss how these results contribute to our knowledge on the role of insects in urban ecosystems and their significance in relation to conservation, ecology and biodiversity studies.

Abstract:

Abstract Predator diets represent a potential interaction between local prey availability, prey antipredator defenses, and predator foraging behavior. Female spider-specialist mud-dauber wasps (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) collect spiders and provision them intact, but paralyzed, to their developing larvae, providing a unique means of quantifying the diversity and abundance of prey that they capture. Mud-dauber wasps are hypothesized to be a major source of selection on antipredator defenses in web-building spiders, and the spiny and thickened abdomens of female spiny orb-weaving spiders (Araneae: Araneidae) are hypothesized to function as antiwasp defenses. We inventoried spider prey from nests of the mud-dauber wasps Sceliphron caementarium (Drury) and Chalybion californicum (Saussure), and surveyed for spider fauna in areas surrounding nest collection sites, to specifically investigate if the spiny orb-weaver Micrathena gracilis (Walckenaer) was collected as prey by these wasps. We collected nests from six sites in southeastern Nebraska from two regions that we classify based on habitat—a forest corridor and agricultural land. We collected 761 intact spider prey from 87 nests and identified them to the family level. None of these spiders were M. gracilis. Micrathena gracilis were rare in faunal surveys on agricultural land and, surprisingly, absent in forest corridor surveys. Mud-dauber wasps were more common; we collected more spiders on agricultural land than in the forest corridor. We propose that in agricultural landscapes, the lack of certain spiders in mud-dauber wasp nests is driven by habitat use differences between predators and prey rather than physical antipredator defenses.

Abstract:

AbstractThe mud dauber wasp Sceliphron laetum (F. Smith) lays a single egg in a mud chamber that is provisioned almost exclusively with orb-weaving spiders. In Madang, Papua New Guinea, the wasps provision their chambers with between three and nine spiders that weigh between 0.01 and 0.28 g and are from at least twelve species. The number of spiders placed in each chamber is negatively correlated with the mean mass of each spider. A field experiment revealed that females cease provisioning after capturing a certain mass of spiders, rather than simply filling each chamber to its volumetric capacity. Furthermore, the wasps select different spider species according to the provisioning sequence. In general, wasps avoid provisioning the early larval instar with species of Gasteracantha, perhaps because the newly emerged wasp larvae cannot penetrate the hard integuments of these spiders.

Abstract:

The ethyl acetate extract of an ISP-2 agar cultivation of the wasp nest-associated fungus Penicillium sp. CMB-MD14 exhibited promising antibacterial activity against vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), with a bioassay guided chemical investigation yielding the new meroterpene, oxandrastin A (1), the first andrastin-like metabolite with an extra oxygenation at C-2. A culture media optimisation strategy informed a scaled-up rice cultivation that yielded 1, together with three new oxandrastins B–D (2–4), two known andrastins C (5) and F (6), and a new meroterpene of the austalide family, isoaustalide F (7). Structures of 1–7 were assigned based on detailed spectroscopic analysis and chemical interconversion. A GNPS molecular networking analysis of the rice cultivation extract detected the known austalides B (8), H (9), and H acid (10), tentatively identified based on molecular formulae and co-clustering with 7. That the anti-VRE properties of the CMB-MD14 extract were exclusively attributed to 1 (IC50 6.0 µM, MIC99 13.9 µM), highlights the importance of the 2-OAc and 3-OAc moieties to the oxandrastin anti-VRE pharmacophore.

Abstract:

Spiders captured by Trypoxylon politum (Say) and Sceliphron caementarium (Drury) in Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp over two nesting seasons represented 5 families and 22 genera (n = 5191). A strong bias for female spiders exists in both species (89.5% of all prey), with immature females comprising nearly half of these (42.6%). Comparison of contemporaneously taken prey at the same site by T. politum using typical mud organ pipe nests or trap nests revealed that the same araneid species of Neoscona and Eustala predominated. However, spiders provisioned in trap nests were more diverse taxonomically, including the first records of Mimetidae and Salticidae as prey for this wasp, as well as a variety of other araneid genera. Seasonal changes in prey composition revealed no particular patterns or correlations with nest type. Sceliphron caementarium displayed a strong preference for araneid spiders, with N. arabesca comprising 53.8% of the total; Thomisidae comprised 10.5%, nearly all Misumenops oblongus.

Abstract:

Arpactophilus mimi, Naumann, sp. nov., is described from Kakadu National Park, N.T. and its biology is outlined. A. mimi nests in abandoned cells of mud-dauber wasps in sandstone overhangs. Its nests are lined heavily with silk and contain 1-15 cells and 1-10 adult wasps (1-7 females, 0-3 males). On average nests contain 5.2 cells and 2.75 adult females. Prey (immature Psyllidae and Tingidae) are supplied progressively. Nests are parasitised by a species of megalyrid wasp, but incidence of parasitism is low. Nest defense is both physical (entrance guard always present) and chemical (citrus odour from heads of both sexes). Females from a single nest could be ranked on the basis of relative ovarian development, suggesting that more than one female oviposits. Females apparently cooperate in brood care and offspring in a nest develop asynchronously. The biology of A. mimi is compared to that of Microstigmus comes Krombein, the most socially advanced sphecid known, and selective pressures that may have acted to promote female cooperation in the two genera are discussed. For A. mimi the lack of available nest sites could be an important factor restricting the ability of offspring to disperse and establish nests.

Abstract:

AbstractThe behavioural ecology of ichneumonid wasps that attack aculeate Hymenoptera is still largely unknown. Field observations and morphological analyses were devoted to investigate host detection and rate of parasitism by Acroricnus seductor (Scopoli), a natural enemy of the black and yellow mud dauber wasp Sceliphron caementarium (Drury). At the study site, about half of the host nests suffered parasitism by A. seductor. No significant difference was found between the rate of parasitism in sheltered (inside human building) and unsheltered (outside building) nests. Larger nests did not suffer a higher rate of parasitism, and larger brood cells were not more likely to be parasitized. As revealed by contents of parasitized cells, A. seductor appeared to act as a kleptoparasitoid, devouring spider prey and young host larvae. Analysis of video recordings obtained in the field revealed the basic behavioural sequence of host detection. Acroricnus seductor female taps with the antennae the host nest surface and, once a suitable host brood cell is found, inserts the ovipositor through the mud wall, possibly facilitated by the secretion of a mud-softening substance. Behavioural data, together with the presence of modified tips on the apex of female antennae and the relative thicknesses of female fore tibiae, strongly suggest that A. seductor uses echolocation to detect the host.

Abstract:

The nests of Sceliphron caementarium were studied to ascertained the rate of emergence and mortality cause of S. caementarium before emergence. Ten (10) nests of S. caementarium were taken from the various Faculties of Ahmadu Bello University main campus, located in Zaria, Kaduna, Nigeria and analyzed. The greatest width of the head (GWH) was employed to estimate the size and sex ratio of emerged adult wasps. The nests of S. caementarium collected and examined from the study consists of 1-23 vertically arranged cylindrical allantoid-shaped cells. The average length and width of the male and female wasp cells was (l = 24.8mm, w = 7.0mm) and (l = 25.5mm, w = 7.8mm) respectively. The mean fecundity of the female S. caementarium from the study was calculated at 15.1 eggs per female. The sex ratio of the emerged adult S. caementarium obtained from the nests was 1 male : 1.28 female. With respect to size, the females black-and-yellow mud dauber wasp were observed to be significantly bigger than the males (p < 0.05). The highest rate of Mortality observed in the nest of S. caementarium in the study area was due to an endogenous factor 64.15% (which may be a developmental failure, pathogenic or fungal infection) followed by parasitoids accounting for about 24.52% deaths in the cells and accidental cell damage (11.32%) was the least cause of mortality in the cells.

Abstract:

This study was aimed to survey the ethno medicinal uses of mud dauber nest in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Structure questionnaires as well as interview were used as instruments for data collection on fifty respondents which included the herbalists, local elders, traders, students, and house wives. Socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents were also determined. The concentration of Fe, Cd, Zn and Pb were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS).Thirty-two (64%) of the respondents were males. The age range 41 and above, provided the highest uses of mud dauber nest. Seventeen (17) different ailments were recorded in this study. The use of mud dauber nest for treatment of mumps was the highest with 82%, followed by ringworm and pimples (14%), stomach ache (12%), tooth ache 8%, ear rash 6% and so on%, ear rash 6% and so on. It was shown that Fe has the highest average concentration with 5.268 ± 1.050 ppm, followed by Zn with 2.199±0.086 ppm, Pb with 0.766 ± 0.442 ppm and Cd with 0.059±0.003 ppm. This study showed the potentials of mud dauber for treatment of various diseases and its safety profiles, therefore its conservation for sustainable use and potential for discovery of newer is very important in the field of medicine, pharmacy and biotechnology.

Abstract:

The name Chubutolithes was proposed by Ihering (1922) for an unknown type of fossil occurring in Eocene continental rocks of Patagonia, Argentina. Bown and Ratcliffe (1988) demonstrated that Chubutolithes is a trace fossil; specifically, it is the fossil nest of a mud-dauber. The latter authors also suggested that Chubutolithes was constructed by an insect belonging to the hymenopteran family Sphecidae, and coined the specific name C. gaimanensis for the unusual trace fossil. Comparison with a Recent nest of the mud-dauber Auplopus (Pompilidae; Figure 1.1) suggests that Auplopus is a much more likely candidate as the architect of Chubutolithes than are any sphecid mud-daubers.

Abstract:

Potter wasps (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) adopt different substrates for nesting, including other wasp nests. Nevertheless, such behavior rarely occurs with abandoned nests of the paper wasps (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Polistinae). In this study, we report the occurrence involving the nesting of a potter wasp on a paper wasp’s nest. Such a record occurred in November 2021 in a segment of a deciduous forest, at Mata Seca State Park, Southeast Brazil. An abandoned Polistinae nest was found, with 14 cells sealed with mud, from which four male Pachodynerus nasidens individuals emerged. This record of P. nasidens reusing a Polistinae’s nest increases our knowledge of Eumeninae nesting strategies and on possible associations between different groups of vespid wasps.

Abstract:

The article presents a list of species of wasps of the Nature Reserve “Rivnenskyi”, collected on the territory of all four massifs: “Biloozerskyi”, “Somyne”, “Syra Pogonya” and “Perebrody”; six departments: Biloozerske, Karasynske, Bilske, Hrabunske, Starosilske and Pivnichne. Wasps of the families Crabronidae and Sphecidae were caught in the growing seasons 2021–2024 with the help of an entomological net and Merike traps and trap-nests. We analysed 486 specimens of wasps belonging to the families Crabronidae and Sphecidae. These were 81 species from 27 genera: Bembecinus (2), Bembix (1), Cerceris (7), Crabro (2), Dryudella (1), Crossocerus (3), Diodontus (2), Ectemnius (9), Gorytes (4), Harpactus (1), Lestica (2), Lindenius (1), Mimumesa (1), Miscophus (2), Nysson (6), Oxybelus (6), Palarus (1), Passaloecus (4), Pemphredon (4), Philanthus (1), Psenulus (2), Tachysphex (7), Trypoxylon (4), Ammophila (4), Podalonia (1), Sceliphron (2), Sphex (1 species). Of the 81 species which were caught, 78 were recorded for the first time in the reserve. One of the identified species, Sphex funerarius Gussakovskij, 1934, is listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine as “Not assessed”. Furthermore, Dryudella lineata Mocsáry, 1879 and Passaloecus borealis Dahlbom, 1844 were recorded for the first time in Ukraine. Nests of the wasp Sceliphron curvatum (F.Smith, 1870), an invasive species in Ukraine, were also found. No adults were found. 35 species of wasps were caught directly on angiosperms from ten families: Apiaceae (6 species), Lamiaceae (1), Asteraceae (5), Brassicaceae (1), Rosaceae (2), Ericaceae (1), Campanulaceae (1), Rhamnaceae (1), Caprifoliaceae (1) and Hypericaceae (1). The largest number of wasp species, those were 13, were captured on Thymus serpyllum L., 1753. All the collected material is stored in the Entomological Collection of the Zoological Museum of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.

Abstract:

Sceliphron caementarium (Drury, 1773) is a Nearctic mud-dauber wasp, accidentally introduced in various parts of the world. All literature records of its distribution outside its native range are summarized and many new records are provided, showing the quick spreading of this species. The countries and the islands in which Sceliphron caementarium occurs are summarized and ordered chronologically according to the date of the first record. The occurrence of the species is first recorded for Argentina, Oman, mainland Spain, the small country of San Marino and the archipelagos of Azores, Canary Islands, and Cayman Islands. Moreover, overall 56 new regions in several countries and 14 new islands are added to those from which the species was previously known. In Russia, the first record of the species is backdated to 2019.

Full text

Abstract:

The solitary wasp Trypoxylon nitidum F. Smith nests in a variety of existing cavities. Nesting success – the fraction of completed, provisioned cells that produced adult offspring – can be estimated by examination of old cells. We estimated nesting success of T. nitidum in new and old (previously utilized by T. nitidum) bamboo traps nests, old nests of solitary wasps (Sceliphron fistularium (Dahlbom), Trypoxylon albitarse Fabr. and Zeta argillaceum (L.)) and social wasps (Polistes lanio (Fabr.) and P. versicolor (Olivier)) in Trinidad, West Indies. Success was markedly higher (61.4%) in new trap nests and significantly lower (5.6%) in old trap nests than in other substrates. Mean success in old nests of other wasps varied from 10.0% to 28.8%, with no general difference between those of solitary and social wasps. We infer that a) rented (reutilized) nests are more easily located by parasites than are new trap nests, and b) old trap nests have a higher load of parasites and disease organisms than substrates not previously utilized by T. nitidum.

Abstract:

Species of Symphrasinae (Neuroptera: Mantispidae) are ectoparasitoids of larvae and pupae of holometabolous insects, primarily of Hymenoptera in their larval stages. Herein we present the third case of an association between the mantidfly genus Anchieta Navás, 1909 with the order Hymenoptera. The hymenopteran species attacked by the as of yet undescribed species of Anchieta is Montezumia dimidiata Saussure, 1852 (Vespidae: Eumeninae), a predacious wasp that constructs mud nests. The association was observed in Peruvian Amazonia (near Tarapoto, San Martín), after rearing the mantidflies from a wasp nest. The biology and mimicry pattern with stingless bees of the reared Anchieta species is discussed.
