Large scale application of species distribution models to predict future vulnerability to social wasp invasions

The paper uses species distribution models to predict future vulnerability to social wasp invasions by analyzing climate change scenarios and identifying high-risk regions.

Dynamic neurogenomic responses to social interactions and dominance outcomes in female paper wasps

The paper examines transcriptional responses in the central brain and optic lobe of female paper wasps after social interactions, finding stronger responses in the central brain and gene expression changes related to aggression and reproduction in losers.

Evolutionary dynamics of recent selection for enhanced social cognition

This study shows that recent evolution of visual individual recognition in paper wasps is driven by strong positive selection on genes related to memory and visual processing.
