Are invasive species promoting yellowjacket invasion in Patagonia?
(Wiley, 2022-06)In recent decades, yellowjacket wasps, including Vespula vulgaris, have successfully been established in Patagonia. Additionally, the invasive willow Salix fragilis has also invaded areas next to watercourses, which in ... -
Avispas exóticas en la Patagonia: la importancia de la ecología de invasiones en el manejo de plagas
(2014-08)El manejo integrado de plagas (MIP) se basa en el conocimiento de la ecología de las especies problema. Se ha sugerido que cuando las plagas son especies invasoras, la comprensión del proceso de invasión puede mejorar aun ... -
A comparative analysis of host feeding and life-history traits in parasitoid wasps
(2016-05)Feeding in insect parasitoids can have significant implications from behavioral and evolutionary ecology standpoints. Females of many species not only search for hosts to lay their eggs on, but also may use them as a food ... -
Determining the origin of invasions and demonstrating a lack of enemy release from microsporidian pathogens in the common wasps (Vespula vulgaris)
(2014-08)La comprensión del papel de la liberación de enemigo en las invasiones biológicas requiere una evaluación del área de distribución del invasor, el número de eventos de invasión y la prevalencia del enemigo. La avispa común ... -
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, ... -
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae
(Springer, 2011-08)Insect species associated with human goods continue to be accidentally introduced into new locations. A small proportion of these introduced species become invasive, causing a range of impacts in the receiving community. ... -
Ecology of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio : tackling the challenge of successful pest management
(2012-08)The invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio has become one of the most significant pests of pine forests throughout the northern and southern hemispheres. In Patagonia (southern Argentina), S. noctilio was first detected in the ... -
Foraging behavior interactions between two non-native social wasps, Vespula germanica and V. vulgaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) : implications for invasion success?
(2016-01)Vespula vulgaris is an invasive scavenging social wasp that has very recently arrived in Patagonia (Argentina), a territory previously invaded – 35 yrs earlier – by another wasp, Vespula germanica. Although V. vulgaris ... -
Host-related volatile cues used by a parasitoid wasp during foraging for its woodboring host
(Wiley, 2018-12)Parasitoids relymainly on infochemicals to search for their herbivore hosts to oviposit on. Megarhyssa nortoni (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is a parasitoid of siricid wasp larvae which are concealed inside tree ... -
Local dynamics of worker activity of the invasive Vespula germanica and V. vulgaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) wasps in Argentina
(2016-02)1. The abundance of insects depends essentially on the reproductive success of individuals. In social insects, however, the abundance of sterile workers outside a nest depends on colony size but is also determined by ... -
Mate-searching behavior in the invasive German wasp, Vespula germanica, in Patagonia
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-07)In order to increase the probability of reproduction, social insects can adopt various mate‐finding strategies, such as increasing densities of males at specific locations, and/or visual and chemical cues that attract the ... -
Pest management of social insects in urban settings
(2017-04)Pest management of social insects in urban environments is a growing global concern, given the problems that these pests generate and the growth of urban areas worldwide. In this special issue, we present studies on the ... -
Polistes dominula (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) paper wasps detect native grasshoppers using olfactory cues
(Wiley, 2023-10)Polistes dominula is an invasive social wasp that preys on the grasshopper Dichroplus elongatus, which constitutes a potential agricultural pest in Northwest Patagonia. This grasshopper feeds on a wide variety of plants, ... -
Spatial dynamics of a Sirex noctilio woodwasp population within a pine plantation in Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley, 2007-12)The woodwasp Sirex noctilio F. (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is probably the most important pest of pine tree plantations of the southern hemisphere. We studied the spatial arrangement of an endemic population of the woodwasp ...
