1. BIOLOGIA E ECOLOGIA COMPORTAMENTAL DA VESPA SOCIAL Polybia platycephala (RICHARDS, 1978) (HYMENOPTERA: VESPIDAE, EPIPONINI)
Polybia platycephala (Richards, 1978) é uma vespa social enxameante que possui seu ninho constituído de várias filas de favos horizontais cobertos favo-a-favo por um envelope. Neste estudo caracterizou-se o padrão de fundação, arquitetura do ninho, o padrão de estocagem de recursos nas colônias, o ciclo colonial, a população, os estágios imaturos,

2. An adaptive view of caste differentiation in the neotropical wasp Polybia (Trichothorax) sericea Olivier (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
The tribe Epiponini comprehends the swarm-founding Neotropical wasps, with several species endemic to Brazil, which are extremely important in studies of social evolution of wasps. The Epiponini diverge in several ways from the definitions of high eusociality, since caste syndromes range from species without morphological caste differentiation to those with

3. The acceptance rate of young wasps by alien colonies depends on colony developmental stages in the swarm-founding wasp, Polybia paulista von ihering (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
In social insects, newly emerged individuals learn the colony-specific chemical label from their natal comb shortly after their emergence. These labels help to identify each individual's colony of origin and are used as a recognition template against which individuals can discriminate nestmates from non-nestmates. Our previous studies with Polybia paulista v

5. The nest as fortress: defensive behavior of Polybia emaciata, a mud-nesting eusocial wasp
The swarm-founding wasp Polybia emaciata is unusual among eusocial Vespidae because it uses mud, rather than wood pulp, as its primary nest construction material. Polybia emaciata nests are more durable than similarly sized paper nests. We tested the hypothesis that the defensive behavior of this wasp may have been modified to take advantage of their strong
