These insects have a particular biology and their colonies are formed by a few cooperative females living in either small or massive, structured nests where stinging individuals organize their activities and defend their offspring. Topics include evolutionary aspects, biogeography, post-embryonic development, community behavior and ecology, economic importance, and research methods. .VespidaeBehaviorVespidaeBehavior.595.798Prezoto FabioMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910483921603321Neotropical social wasps2804911UNINA
