摘要
我们研究了Fernando de Noronha群岛1890年特有的群居黄蜂Polites ridleyi Kirby的季节性,并记录了它们的筑巢习惯。我们使用Malaise拦截陷阱收集了427只成年纸黄蜂P.ridleyi标本,为期9个月。10月、11月和12月观察到黄蜂数量最高,这一事实很可能是由岛上最低的降水水平解释的。我们记录了38个里德扁蝶巢穴。然而,它们中的大多数都是在一个单一的Cynophalla flexuosa(L.)植物中收集的。这种团聚可能表明了多梳行为,正如另一种Polites spp.所报道的那样。
Seasonality and nesting habits of the endemic social wasp Polistes ridleyi Kirby, 1890 in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Northeast Brazil
We studied the seasonality and made notes about the nesting habits of the endemic social wasp Polistes ridleyi Kirby, 1890 of the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. We collected 427 adult paper wasp P. ridleyi specimens for nine months using Malaise interception traps. The highest abundance of wasps was observed in October, November, and December, a fact most likely explained by the lowest precipitation levels on the island. We recorded 38 P. ridleyi nests. However, most of them were collected in a single Cynophalla flexuosa (L.) plant. This agglomeration may suggest multi-combs behavior, as reported for another species of Polistes spp.
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.
