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. . 606 $aVespidae$xBehavior 615 0$aVespidae$xBehavior. 676 $a595.798 702 $aPrezoto$b Fabio 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483921603321 996 $aNeotropical social wasps$92804911 997 $aUNINA
