Phylogenetic relationships and classification of the Vespinae (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)·

نویسنده

  • JAMES M. CARPENTER
چکیده

The phylogenetic relationships of the genera, subgenera and species-groups of the Vespinae are analysed using cladistic techniques. The results are used as the basis for a natural classification of these wasps. The cladogram for the four genera recognized is: Vespa + .cProvespa + (Dolichovespula + Vespula)). No subgenera are recognized; all those previously described are synonymized with the appropriate genus. The . synonymies of Nyctovespa with Vespa and Rugovespula with Vespula are

Simultaneous Analysis and the Origin of Eusociality in the Vespidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera)

A review of the literature concerning the phylogenetics of the Vespidae is presented. We also present a new phylogenetic analysis of the Vespidae based on what is by far the largest taxon sample to include molecular data, and the largest phenotypic character dataset ever compiled. Relationships among the subfamilies are Euparagiinae + (Masarinae + (Eumeninae + (Stenogastrinae + (Polistinae + Ve...

Phylogenetic tests reject Emery's rule in the evolution of social parasitism in yellowjackets and hornets (Hymenoptera: Vespidae, Vespinae)

Social parasites exploit the brood-care behaviour and social structure of one or more host species. Within the social Hymenoptera there are different types of social parasitism. In its extreme form, species of obligate social parasites, or inquilines, do not have the worker caste and depend entirely on the workers of a host species to raise their reproductive offspring. The strict form of Emery...

Diagnosis and Therapy of Allergy to Hymenoptera Venom

Statistic data and reports in specialized literature point to very frequent reactions to Hymenoptera venom; moreover the present stage of knowledge gained in the field of immunology allows us to establish the cases with local toxic reactions and those which involve a mechanism of allergical reaction. The Hymenoptera provided with a vulnerable sting apparatus consist of three families of social ...
