Abstract:
Charterginus Fox, 1898 is a neotropical genus of swarm-founding social wasps consisting of six species. Despite its ecological significance, there are limited studies on various aspects of these wasps. To address this, this study aims to provide a comprehensive comparative diagnosis for all Charterginus species, accompanied by high-quality images of the type material. Moreover, a distribution map incorporating both previous and newly recorded occurrences is presented, shedding light on the geographical range of these species. Through these efforts, we aim to enhance the knowledge and facilitat

Abstract:
Wasps (Vespidae) are important organisms to understand the evolution of social behaviour. Wasps show different levels of sociality, which includes solitary to highly eusocial organisms. In social insect species, queens and workers differ in physiology and morphology. The Neotropical swarm-founding wasps (Epiponini) show a variety of caste syndromes. In this clade, the caste-flexibility is a unique characteristic, in which workers can become queens and swarm to start a new nest. The investigation of the caste system comparing several Epiponini species show a clear-cut morphological distinction

Abstract:
Predation of Lepidoptera caterpillars - including agricultural pest species - is one of the main ways through which social wasps gather proteinaceous resources. The presence of social wasps was sampled through active search and bait traps through a sugarcane culture cycle, totaling 12 months. Our aim was to record the presence of these insects during the sugarcane development cycle in order to obtain data to support alternative pest control strategies. A total of 1091 individuals in seven genera and 20 species of social wasps were collected, including the swarm-founding Agelaia vicina and Poly

Abstract:
The Neotropical realm harbours unparalleled species richness and hence has challenged biologists to explain the cause of its high biotic diversity. Empirical studies to shed light on the processes underlying biological diversification in the Neotropics are focused mainly on vertebrates and plants, with little attention to the hyperdiverse insect fauna. Here, we use phylogenomic data from ultraconserved element (UCE) loci to reconstruct for the first time the evolutionary history of Neotropical swarm-founding social wasps (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Epiponini). Using maximum likelihood, Bayesian, a

Abstract:
The physical features of the stinger are compared in 51 species of vespid wasps: 4 eumenines and zethines, 2 stenogastrines, 16 independent-founding polistines, 13 swarm-founding New World polistines, and 16 vespines. The overall structure of the stinger is remarkably uniform within the family. Although the wasps show a broad range in body size and social habits, the central part of the venom-delivery apparatus—the sting shaft—varies only to a modest extent in length relative to overall body size. What variation there is shows no apparent correlation with social habits. This is consistent with

Abstract:
Scent marking food resources is expected to enhance foraging efficiency reducing search time. Many social bees exhibit this behavior, but scent-marking is absent in social wasps, except forVespa mandarinia. We tested for scent marking in the swarm-founding wasp,Polybia occidentalis. This wasp has moderately large colonies and utilizes resources that are concentrated in time and space, making scent marking profitable. Also, this wasp uses chemical markings to lead nestmates to a new nest site during swarm emigration, making it possible that it could use the same behavior to recruit nestmates to

A morphological cladistic analysis of the Neotropical swarm-founding genus Angiopolybia Araujo is presented. A single cladogram resulted from the analysis, with the following ingroup topology: (A. pallens + A. zischkai) + (A. paraensis + A. obidensis). The monophyly of the genus is supported by four synapomorphies. A new identification key is presented for the genus.

Abstract:
Abstract Honey-bee colonies reproduce by ‘swarming’ (colony fission). When a colony produces new queens at a certain stage of colony growth, the old queen disperses from her nest together with a group of workers and this queen-worker group builds a new nest. Stingless bees also reproduce by swarming, but in this subfamily the new queens and some of the workers disperse from their natal nests (Sakagami 1984 ).

Abstract:
Abstract I stated in Chapters 9 and 10 that multi-queen societies may exist in most of the swarm-founding neotropical Polistinae (Polybia and closely-related genera), in at least some (possibly all) of the swarm-founding species of the subgenus lcarielia of the genus Ropalidia, and in some tropical Vespinae. Although their origins may in many cases be different from that of the Vespidae, the ants also have multi-queen societies, and they have at least one species in which all the females reproduce (Pristomyrmex pungens, Tsuji 1990). There is no hypothesis so far to explain the evolution or mai

Abstract:
Abstract For a long time, the basic social system of the wasps and hornets of the subfamily Vespinae was thought to be exclusively haplometrotic (Jeanne 1980; Akre 1982). Although their nests all have multiple combs and envelopes similar to those of the nests of Polybia and some Ropalidia (subgenus Icarielia), no case of swarm-founding was known in this subfamily. Before 1983, besides rare, possibly exceptional, cases (see later), pleometrosis was found only in Vespula germanica, which had been accidentally introduced into Australia (Spradbery 1973 ). This case is an example of secondary pleom
