Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time is ripe to investigate similarities and differences in the course of social evolution in different animals. This book brings together renowned researchers working on sociality in different animals to deal with the key questions of sociobiology. For the first time, they compile the evidence for the importance of ecological factors in the evolution of social life, ranging from invertebrate to vertebrate social systems, and evaluate its importance versus that of relatedness.

Download or read book The Social Biology of Wasps written by Kenneth G. Ross and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this edited collection, 17 internationally known authorities bring together the results of recent research on the natural history, ecology, behavior, morphology, and genetics of wasps as they pertain to the evolution of social behavior. The first part of the book opens with a review of the classification of the family Vespidae along with a revision of the subfamily Polistinae. Seven subsequent chapters deal with the natural history and social biology of each of the major taxa of social and presocial vespids. The second part of the book offers chapters on reproductive competition; worker polyethism; evolution of nest architecture, of queen number and queen control, and of exocrine glands; population genetics; the nutritional bsis of social evolution; and the nest as the locus of social life. The final chapter is a comparative discussion of social behavior in the Sphecidae, the only family of wasps besides the Vespidae in which well-developed social behavior is known. Providing a wealth of information about the biology of wasps, this comprehensive, up-to-date volume will be an essential reference for entomologists, evolutionary biologists, behavioral ecologists, ethologists, and zoologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the culmination of the author’s lifetime work on a single fascinating group of insects, the hover wasps, Stenogastrinae. The author explores the biology of these little-known wasps at the threshold of sociality, presenting an ambitious survey of ideas about their evolution and an assessment of the current standing of controversial concepts. Following taxonomic and morphological descriptions, the behaviour, colonial dynamics, social communication and especially the remarkably diverse nests of wasps are discussed. Compared to the better-known species of paper wasps, hornets and yellow jackets, the hover wasps show various peculiarities, such as characteristics of immature brood rearing, nest defence and mating systems. The nest architecture probably presents the most variable solutions in social wasps and is characterized by an astonishing level of camouflage, making these insects an interesting example of special adaptation to forest environments.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diversity of social behaviour among birds and primates is surpassed only by members of the Hymenopteran insects (bees, ants, and wasps). The paper-wasps are a large and varied group, and have been studied extensively by a wide range of biologists interested in the evolution of sociality. This book is unusual in combining synthetic reviews and new, unpublished data with original ideas.

Download or read book Biology of the Vespine Wasps written by Makoto Matsuura and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive account of the Biology of the Vespine Wasps, with special emphasis on behavioral aspects. The authors, well-known specialists in insect sociology and wasp systematics, cover wasps from all over the world. Asiatic hornets, a special and almost unknown group of insects due to their extreme aggressiveness, are described in detail. Many new and interesting findings are presented, concerning for example the mass-attack by the Japanese giant hornet on other social wasps. Topics include: nesting habits, brood incubation by the foundress, nest relocation by some hornets; life cycle strategies; population dynamics; life in extreme environments; parasitism; phylogeny; natural enemies; the significance of vespine wasps as pests.
