Download or read book Wasp Studies Afield Classic Reprint written by Phil Rau and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wasp Studies Afield The present volume embodies the results of four years of out-of-door study of some of our most interesting and highly developed insects, in their native haunts, while pursuing their occupations in their own way. Biological and behavior work on the American wasps has been, for the most part, desultory and incomplete, and we hope that these chapters may, in their small way, fill the gap that exists. We have no apology to make for the frequent use of anthropomorphic ideas, terms and interpretations. However, one must not read into these terms any subtle metaphysical meaning. They are used as apt descriptive expressions, and not for the purpose of predicating logical thinking to these creatures. This work as a whole is descriptive; the comparative and philosophical, as well as the correlative, data have been reserved for a later volume. Unless otherwise stated, all of the observations were made at St. Louis or within a radius of thirty miles of that city. The sketches for the illustrations were made in the field and executed in their final form by Dr. Gustave Dahms.

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.

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 Wasps written by Eric R. Eaton and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate visual journey into the beautiful and complex world of wasps Wasps are far more diverse than the familiar yellowjackets and hornets that harass picnickers and build nests under the eaves of our homes. These amazing, mostly solitary creatures thrive in nearly every habitat on Earth, and their influence on our lives is overwhelmingly beneficial. Wasps are agents of pest control in agriculture and gardens. They are subjects of study in medicine, engineering, and other important fields. Wasps pollinate flowers, engage in symbiotic relationships with other organisms, and create architectural masterpieces in the form of their nests. This richly illustrated book introduces you to some of the most spectacular members of the wasp realm, colorful in both appearance and lifestyle. From minute fairyflies to gargantuan tarantula hawks, wasps exploit almost every niche on the planet. So successful are they at survival that other organisms emulate their appearance and behavior. The sting is the least reason to respect wasps and, as you will see, no reason to loathe them, either. Written by a leading authority on these remarkable insects, Wasps reveals a world of staggering variety and endless fascination. Packed with more than 150 incredible color photos Includes a wealth of eye-popping infographics Provides comprehensive treatments of most wasp families Describes wasp species from all corners of the world Covers wasp evolution, ecology, physiology, diversity, and behavior Highlights the positive relationships wasps share with humans and the environment
