Badges of status in worker and gyne Polistes dominulus wasps
Despite widespread interest in quality signals, a broad understanding of quality that incorporates information about signals used in a variety of contexts remains elusive. For example, relatively little is known about arbitrary signals of quality used during aggressive competition (badges of status). Recently, a new badge of status was found: black facial patterns in Polistes dominulus wasps. P...
متن کاملMutual assessment via visual status signals in Polistes dominulus wasps.
Many animals use signals to assess the fighting ability of rivals and reduce the cost of aggressive competition. However, little is known about how an individual's own quality influences their signal assessment decisions. Polistes dominulus wasps have visual signals of fighting ability that provide a good model for testing the dynamics of rival choice. We found that rival assessment behaviour w...

15 صفحه اولPolistes wasps and their social parasites: an overview
Severe brood care costs have favoured the evolution of cheaters that exploit the parental services of conspecifics or even heterospecifics in both birds and social insects. In Polistes paper wasps, three species have lost worker castes and are dependent on hosts to produce their sexuals, while other species use hosts facultatively as an alternative to caring for their own brood. This paper offe...
متن کاملInformation gathering and conflict resolution in Polistes wasps
The paper wasp Polistes dominulus is unique among the social insects in that nearly one-third of co-foundresses arecompletely unrelated to the dominant individual whose offspring they help to rear and yet reproductive skew is high. Theseunrelated subordinates stand to gain direct fitness through nest inheritance, raising the question of whether their behaviouris adaptively tailo...
