Abstract

Ants prey on social wasps affecting the evolution of nest architecture, defense behaviors, and selection of nesting sites of these insects. The importance of social wasps in natural and agricultural ecosystems, especially in biological control, justifies studies on predation of these insects by ants. The objective of this work is to report the colony predation of the social wasp Agelaia vicina (de Saussure, 1854) and the nest occupation of Parachartergus pseudapicalis Willinck, 1959 (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) by the ant Camponotus renggeri Emery, 1894 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the Atlantic Forest biome. The records occurred in 2015 and 2018 in southern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. This is the first record of C. renggeri preying on and occupying social wasp nests. This relationship between social wasps and ants constitutes an adaptation for the survival of these latter insects, and the limited number of records increases the need for research on the relevance of this phenomenon to the ecology of Atlantic Forest Hymenoptera.

蛙蛙（Formicidae）早于虎皮蛛（Vespidae）的巢穴，并占据了假盾夜蛾（Parachartergus pseudapicalis）的巢穴

蚂蚁捕食群居黄蜂，影响这些昆虫巢穴结构、防御行为和筑巢地点的选择。社会黄蜂在自然和农业生态系统中的重要性，特别是在生物控制中，证明了蚂蚁捕食这些昆虫的研究是合理的。这项工作的目的是报告大西洋森林生物群落中社会黄蜂Agelaia vicina（de Saussure，1854）的群体捕食和蚂蚁Camponotus renggeri Emery（膜翅目：胡蜂科）对Parachartgus pseudapicalis Willinck（膜翅目）的巢穴占领，1894年。记录发生在2015年和2018年，分别发生在巴西南部米纳斯吉拉斯州。这是第一个记录C.renggeri捕食和占领社会黄蜂巢穴。群居黄蜂和蚂蚁之间的这种关系构成了对后一种昆虫生存的适应，而有限的记录增加了研究这种现象与大西洋森林膜翅目生态学相关性的必要性。

期刊介绍： SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes high quality articles that significantly contribute to the knowledge of Entomology, with emphasis on social insects. Articles previously submitted to other journals are not accepted. SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes original research papers and invited review articles on all aspects related to the biology, evolution and systematics of social and pre-social insects (Ants, Termites, Bees and Wasps). The journal is currently expanding its scope to incorporate the publication of articles dealing with other arthropods that exhibit sociality. Articles may cover a range of subjects such as ecology, ethology, morphology, population genetics, physiology, toxicology, reproduction, sociobiology, caste differentiation as well as economic impact and pest management.
