It also challenges conceptual approaches that have dominated three decades of social behavior research. Hunt's innovative model integrates life history, nutrition, development and ecology. His broad synthesis of empirical knowledge on social wasps should interest evolution biologists, behavioral ecologists, or entomologists alike. 606 $aVespidae$xBehavior 606 $aSocial behavior in animals 615 0$aVespidae$xBehavior. 615 0$aSocial behavior in animals. 676 $a595.79/8156 700 $aHunt$b James H$0303025 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910963538803321 996 $aEvolution of social wasps$9712506 997 $aUNINA
