Brewer’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, enhances attraction of two invasive yellowjackets (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) to dried fruit and fruit powder
(2017-09)The German yellowjacket, Vespula germanica F., and common yellowjacket, Vespula vulgaris L. (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), are pests of significant economic, environmental, and medical importance in many countries. There is a ... -
Dispersal behavior of yellowjacket (Vespula germanica) queens
(2018-02)Understanding the factors that affect animal dispersal behavior is important from both fundamental and applied perspectives. Dispersal can have clear evolutionary and ecological consequences, but for nonnative insect pests, ... -
Field preferences of the Social Wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespide) for Protein-rich Baits
(2013-09)Las preferencias alimentarias mostrados por forrajeo insectos son importantes desde una perspectiva fundamental y en el control de plagas. Se estudió la preferencia de un invasiva avispa, V. germanica, de alimentos ricos ... -
Flexible foraging decisions made by workers of the social wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in response to different resources: influence of ontogenetic shifts and colony feedback
(Wiley, 2022-04)Decisions made by foraging animals conform a complex process based on the integration of information from multiple external environmental stimuli and internal physiological signals, which in turn are modulated by individual ... -
Gustatory responsiveness in Vespula germanica workers: exploring the interplay between sensory perception and task specialization
(Wiley, 2023-08-03)Workers’ task specialization and division of labor are critical features of social insects’ ecological success. It has been proposed that the division of labor relies on response threshold models: individuals varying their ... -
Long-term coexistence of two invasive vespid wasps in NW Patagonia (Argentina)
(Springer, 2022-07-03)In Patagonia (Argentina) two non-native vespid wasps became established in the last decades. Vespula germanica was first detected in 1980, while V. vulgaris arrived some 30 years later. Both species can have a strong ... -
Nest-departure behaviour of gynes and drones in the invasive yellowjacket Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-08)Inbreeding costs can be high in haplodiploid hymenopterans due to their particular mechanism of sex determination (i.e., single-locus complementary sex-determination system, sl-CSD), as it can lead to the production of ... -
Sugar responsiveness could determine foraging patterns in yellowjackets
(Nature, 2023-11)Sympatric-related species often exhibit resource partitioning. This can occur through diferent mechanisms, such as behavioral, morphological, and sensory variations, leading to qualitative, temporal, or spatial diferences ... -
The origins of global invasions of the German wasp (Vespula germanica) and its infection with four honey bee viruses
(Springer, 2018-12)A successful control or eradication programme using biological control or genetically-mediated methods requires knowledge of the origin and the extent of wasp genetic diversity. Mitochondrial DNA variation in the native ...
