The paper shows invasive hornets use social attraction to make collective foraging decisions, favoring food sources primed with dead conspecifics or related species.

This study shows that aging in parasitoid wasps leads to cognitive decline, affecting their ability to learn and remember odors associated with oviposition rewards.

This study compares the susceptibility of invasive Vespa velutina nigrithorax hornets to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii with two non-target species, finding hornets more susceptible.

This study shows that Japanese yellow hornets develop trapline foraging routes similar to bees and birds, optimizing flower visits over time without always taking the shortest path.
