Proposed vacuum sampling method for collecting foraging Vespula wasps at their nest entrance
Sampling nests of yellow jackets, Vespula spp. (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), represent a particular challenge due to the danger involved in working with live colonies of a potentially aggressive venomous super-organism. Here, we report on sampling methods using a petrol-driven leaf blower/vacuum and a battery-powered vacuum to sample returning Vespula germanica (Fabricius) foragers at their nest entrance. These methods make the sampling of returning foragers at the nest more efficient and convenient and represent a low-risk approach to sampling. Applications include prey analysis and genetic sampling that can be done destructively or non-destructively depending on the geographic location. We sampled 15 nests using the two-stroke vacuum apparatus and collected on average (±SD) 454 ± 271 wasps per nest. We believe that the petrol-driven vacuum collection apparatus we designed is a useful method for collecting a large number of social wasp foragers returning to a single-nest entrance.
期刊介绍：
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata publishes top quality original research papers in the fields of experimental biology and ecology of insects and other terrestrial arthropods, with both pure and applied scopes. Mini-reviews, technical notes and media reviews are also published. Although the scope of the journal covers the entire scientific field of entomology, it has established itself as the preferred medium for the communication of results in the areas of the physiological, ecological, and morphological inter-relations between phytophagous arthropods and their food plants, their parasitoids, predators, and pathogens. Examples of specific areas that are covered frequently are:
host-plant selection mechanisms
chemical and sensory ecology and infochemicals
parasitoid-host interactions
behavioural ecology
biosystematics
(co-)evolution
migration and dispersal
population modelling
sampling strategies
developmental and behavioural responses to photoperiod and temperature
nutrition
natural and transgenic plant resistance.
