We observed that in all reforested treatments, the abundance and richness of both bees and wasps were greater than in pasture sites. However, not all reforestation strategies had the same degree of effectiveness in maintaining the stability of bee and wasp communities over time than observed in ...
Tube-nesting bees and wasps were collected with bamboo tube nest traps in a cherry blossom forest and an old secondary forest in Tama Forest Science Garden in the western suburbs of Tokyo. Curtain type traps, in which bamboo tubes were vertically arranged, attracted more bees and wasps to nest...
Jumping oak galls and woolly oak galls are made by the larvae of tiny parasitical gall wasps that lay their eggs on oak leaves. The larvae of the wasp release a growth hormone as they feed on the oak, and this hormone stimulates the oak tree to form galls around them. The galls serve...
In nature adult insects, such as parasitic wasps or 'parasitoids' often depend on supplemental nutritional sources, such as sugars and other carbohydrates, to maximize their life-expectancy and reproductive potential. These food resources are commonly obtained from animal secretions or plant exudates, ...

and fig trees/some fig wasps. In all three insects, females lay eggs in the flowers, and their young hatch later to feed on the mature fruit and its contents. Females ensure that the fruit develops by gathering pollen from another plant and transporting it to the stigma of the flower hold...
types of both wild and cultured gastropods. Analysis of the gut microbiota at the population level, including wild gastropods and their offspring, indicated that a proportion of gut microbes could be consistently vertically transmitted inheritance, while the majority of the gut microbes resulted from ...
So while there is greatness in the views, in the ballroom brilliance of the forest and clouds, here in the Science Lab, the little things shine: the gigantic horn of a beetle; the impossible blue of a morpho butterfly; the changing metallic-sheens of dozens of bees and wasps; the ...
For example, the semantic field of “bugs” may include bees, spiders, moths, wasps, flies etc. According to semantic field theory a meaning of a word is dependent partly on its relation to other words in the same conceptual area 30、. The kinds of semantic fields vary from culture to ...
