Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Social Wasps: An Introduction to Their Anatomy and Physiology, Architecture, and General Natural History, With Illustrations of the Different Species and Their Nests Wasps have been my holiday companions for many years; and wasps and wasps' nests have occupied much of the time which was forbidden to more serious employments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bees and Wasps The terms bee and wasp probably do not, except to an entomologist, denote more than a very small assemblage of insects. The honey-bee and perhaps one or two species of bumble-bees on the one hand, and the yellow and black banded insects that cause such consternation at the breakfast table on the other, represent for most of us the sum total of personal acquaintance in this class of animals. It is therefore necessary at the outset to explain the sense in which we are here employing the two words which constitute the title of this little volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wasp Studies Afield If any excuse were needed for welcoming another work in addition to the nearly three hundred books and articles that have been published on the habits of the solitary wasps, it would suffice to point to the fact that no Other group of insects has so fascinated and bafi'led the student of animal behavior, the psychologist and the philosopher. When among contemporary generalizers we find an eminent psychologist, William mcdougall, claiming for the solitary wasps a degree of intelligence which (with the doubtful exception of the higher mammals) approaches most nearly to the human, and the illustrious Bergson using the same insects as paradigms of instinct in the sense of intuition as contrasted with intelligence, there is surely need of a renewed presentation of facts already established, of the publication of new observations and of a serious attempt at dispassionate interpretation like that made in the present volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Howard Evans was a brilliant ethologist and systematist, describing over 900 species in over a dozen entomology and natural history books. Upon his death in 2002, he left behind an unfinished manuscript, intended as an update of his classic 1966 work, The Comparative Ethology and Evolution of the Sand Wasps. O'Neill, Evans's former student and coauthor, has completed and enlarged this work into a tribe-by-tribe, species-by-species review of Bembicinae studies from the last four decades.

Download or read book The Evolution of Social Wasps written by James H. Hunt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-27 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social behavior occurs in some of the smallest animals as well as some the largest, and the transition from solitary life to sociality is an unsolved evolutionary mystery. In The Evolution of Social Wasps, James H. Hunt examines social behavior in a single lineage of insects, wasps of the family Vespidae. He presents empirical knowledge of social wasps from two approaches, one that focuses on phylogeny and life history and one that focuses on individual ontogeny, colony development, and population dynamics. He also provides an extensive summary of the existing literature while demonstrating how it can be clouded by theory. Hunt's fresh approach to the conflicting literature on sociality highlights how oft repeated models can become fixed in the thinking of the scientific community. Instead, Hunt presents a mechanistic scenario for the evolution of sociality in wasps that changes our perspective on kin selection, the paradigm that has dominated thinking about social evolution since the 1970s. This innovative new model integrates life history, nutrition, fitness and ecology in which social insect biologists will find a rich storehouse of ideas and information, and behavioral ecologists will find a bracing challenge to long accepted models. Engagingly written, bold, and provocative, The Evolution of Social Wasps marks a milestone in our understanding of one of lifes major evolutionary transitions - the origin of social behavior.
Download or read book Wasps and How They Live Or British Social Wasps and the Habitations They Construct A Paper Read Before the Members of the Hastings and St Leonards written by Edward Connold and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wasps, and How They Live, or British Social Wasps and the Habitations They Construct: A Paper Read Before the Members of the Hastings and St. Leonards Natural History Society, in the Museum, on April 19th, 1894 N order to be strictly correct, the title of this subject should read British Social \vasps, and the Habitations they Construct. The reasons for this are threefold. The term Wasps is too broad for a short paper, as it embraces not only the wasps which are indigenous to our islands, but those to be found in other parts of the world (and there are a few in the tropics whose intimate acquaintance we should [not care for). TO mark. The distinction we term those who favour us with their society British; the others are termed Foreign and Exotic. The order of vespm is divided into two divisions or groups, one called solitary, the other social. By solitary is meant that each insect lives by itself, making one cell only and not sharing it with another of its own order. In the social group (which we shall treat of in this paper) it is, quite the opposite, for they live together in large numbers. Hence the necessity for distinction to be made between solitary wasps and social wasps. All future remarks will therefore apply to the latter class and not the former. The third reason for a change of title is that to attempt to describe how wasps live would open up too wide a field of study and discussion for the present purpose, embracing the whole of their social economy, which includes facts as well as theories, extending far beyond the confines of a paper; therefore I purpose inviting your attention to the exterior of the habitations they construct rather than to the interior. Possibly no other insect in our country is the cause of so much dread as a Wasp; there is an instinct within us after we have passed the age of Childhood's innocence which upon its approach acquaints us instantly with the Objectionable qualities it possesses, and we are bent upon its destruction at the first opportunity, or of getting out of its way as soon as possible. When they settle on the fruit Or hover over the flowers in the garden, or having found their way into the house, alight on the sugar, jam, fruit, or even the meat and other articles of food on our meal table, the desire within us is for their annihilation, and even those not considered the boldest and the bravest will essay to kill. But the battle with a wasp is not always attended with victory on our side. They are quick, very quick, and carry small but very powerful and pungent weapons, the which, when we have failed on our part, but they have been successful in approaching us too closely, leave us worse for the fight. It is doubtful if one wasp in a thousand will sting unless it is driven to it - unless it is frightened or hurt, or disturbed in its plunder, and the chances are that the person who has courage enough to keep quiet when wasps are about, and allow them to settle where they please, or fly around them at their own sweet will, may escape the piercing sting.
