The Social Biology of Wasps
The Social Biology of Wasps
This book is an introduction to and overview of our present knowledge
of wasp social biology. Social wasps are important model organisms for
the study of the evolution of social behavior, yet no comprehensive
survey of wasp social biology has appeared since Evans and West-
Eberhard (1970) and Spradbery (1973a) published their major reviews,
a period during which our understanding of these organisms has ad-
vanced considerably. The publication of this ·volume not only fills a
perceived need for a review of these advances but also complements
the recent appearance of major reviews of the social biology of bees
(Seeley 1985, Winston 1987, Roubik 1989) and ants (Holldobler and
Wilson 1990), the two other groups of social Hymenoptera.
