Abstract

Paper wasps are a highly intelligent group of socially flexible insects with complex lives and variation in social structures. They engage in sophisticated communication within their small societies using olfaction, vibration, and even visual signals of quality or individual identity in some species. Here we describe the social biology of paper wasps as well as the impressive visual and cognitive abilities seen in this group. We summarize the recent discoveries about where and how social information is processed in the wasp brain and highlight the potential of this clade to further our understanding of the neural underpinnings of complex social cognition, its development, and its evolution.

纸黄蜂：社会认知的典范支系

纸黄蜂是一种高智商的社会性灵活昆虫，生活复杂，社会结构多变。它们在小社会中利用嗅觉、振动进行复杂的交流，有些种类甚至利用视觉信号来表示质量或个体身份。在这里，我们将介绍纸黄蜂的社会生物学以及该群体令人印象深刻的视觉和认知能力。我们总结了最近在纸黄蜂大脑中处理社会信息的位置和方式方面的发现，并强调了该类群在进一步了解复杂社会认知的神经基础、其发展和进化方面的潜力。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Neurobiology publishes short annotated reviews by leading experts on recent developments in the field of neurobiology. These experts write short reviews describing recent discoveries in this field (in the past 2-5 years), as well as highlighting select individual papers of particular significance. The journal is thus an important resource allowing researchers and educators to quickly gain an overview and rich understanding of complex and current issues in the field of Neurobiology. The journal takes a unique and valuable approach in focusing each special issue around a topic of scientific and/or societal interest, and then bringing together leading international experts studying that topic, embracing diverse methodologies and perspectives. Journal Content: The journal consists of 6 issues per year, covering 8 recurring topics every other year in the following categories: -Neurobiology of Disease- Neurobiology of Behavior- Cellular Neuroscience- Systems Neuroscience- Developmental Neuroscience- Neurobiology of Learning and Plasticity- Molecular Neuroscience- Computational Neuroscience
