		The cladistic analysis of Vespoidea by Carpenter (1982) is summarized in Fig.
		The evolutionary history of the Vespinae has also been examined using techniques that do not rely on morphological or behavioral characters: protein electrophoresis (Varvio-Aho et al., 1984) and DNA sequencing (Schmitz and Moritz, 1990).

	Evolution Research - General Evolution News
		A prior model of vespid wasp evolution placed three subfamilies of wasps - the Polistinae, Vespinae and Stenogastrinae - together in a single evolutionary group with a common ancestor.
		Proponents of the non-genetic model criticized their work, however, because it relied on an analysis of less than 600 base pairs from two genes (one ribosomal RNA, the other mitochondrial DNA) and included very few representative species, some of which were unsuitable for the analysis.
		Eusocial wasps of the family Vespidae are thought to have derived their social behavior from a common ancestor that had a rudimentary caste-containing social system.

	Journal of Nanobiotechnology \| Full text \| Subcuticular microstructure of the hornet's gaster: Its possible function in ...
		As for hornets (and wasps), they are predatory, annual, social insects in which each colony consists of a single family with one fertile female (the queen), then numerous workers, and finally drones and young queens that make their appearance in the fall [8-10].
		Hornets belong to the sub-family Vespinae and, in total, comprise about 60 species; their structure is fairly uniform in that they all have an elongated abdomen which is separated from the thorax by a narrow stalk-like part – the hornet waist.
		We need to point out that in hornets the abdomen is called a gaster, because the first segment of the abdomen conjoins during the pupal stage with the three segments of the thorax and it is the remaining segments which actually comprise the gaster.

		The members of the first three species are all solitary, but there are social species in the Stenogastrinae (which only occur in the oriental tropics) and especially in the Polistinae and Vespinae.
		The social organization ranges from a group of cooperating fertile females to reproductive division of labor, with a single queen laying all the eggs.

		The objective of the present study was to examine the characteristics of allergic reactions during Rush-SIT in a cohort of patients with allergy towards hymenoptera venom in the mediterranean population of Albania.
		A retrospective study was performed using the clinical reports of 37 patients with venom of bee (apinae), wasp (vespidae, subfamily vespinae) or paperwasp (vespidae, subfamily polistinae) allergy treated with Rush-SIT between 1987 and 1996.
		For the assessment of the patients' history, general data (sex, age), the age when the sting reactions happened, time of stinging (date or month), place of stings, number of sting-episodes, identity of insect (if possible), and symptoms after sting episode were evaluated.

		In the venom of the Oriental hornet (Vespa orientalis, Hymenoptera, Vespinae), proteins comprise the primary effector of the allergic phenomena induced by its sting.
		From the venom of the Oriental hornet obtained from adult specimens, we reported the proteins by the techniques of SDS-PAGE and gel filtration.
		This latter finding is probably explainable by the similarity in amino acid sequences within hornet venom components and proteins of plant origin which constitute food of rabbits.

	Hive Wasps of Kentucky - University of Kentucky Entomology
		Paper Wasps, Hornets, and Yellowjackets are a group of closely related wasps in the family Vespidae.
		Hornets are not as common around homes as paper wasps and yellowjackets, preferring to make their nests in forests, meadows, and rural areas.
		Yellowjackets are close relatives of hornets and are in the same subfamily, Vespinae.

		The sensilla of Vespinae, above, are confined to the acetabular buttons, at least in those specimens that I have examined.

	Storage proteins in vespid wasps: Characterization, presence during development, and occurrence in adults (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Specimens were collected at phases of their annual life cycles that could reveal any involvement of storage proteins in caste differentiation.
		We believe that carry-through of storage proteins into adults in Polistes can be a significant component of, or even determinant of, ontogenetic differentiation between gynes and workers.
		In Vespinae, the well-known difference in nest cell size for larvae destined to be workers versus larvae destined to be gynes may correlate with a physiological mechanism of ontogenetic caste differentiation that does not incorporate storage proteins.
