Description
This book is a compilation of reviews and new unpublished data on paper-wasps, a large and varied group of insects whose life patterns are often studied by biologists interested in social evolution.
The diversity of social behavior among birds and primates is surpassed only by members of the Hymenopteran insects, including bees, ants, and the genus Polistes, or paper-wasps. This volume combines incisive reviews and new, unpublished data in studies of paper-wasps, a large and varied group whose life patterns are often studied by biologists interested in social evolution.
