Since Hymenoptera Aculeate are known to be bioindicators, which are sensitive to environment change, fragmentation of habitats and antropogenous impact, these insects may have an importance in environment conservation. The purpose of our study was to establish impact of nesting cavity parameters and prey abundance on the nesting behaviour of solitary xylicolous wasps. We studied nest structure and the influence of nesting cavity width and length on progeny size and sex ratio in 13 wasp species. The development of the most common synanthropic xylicolous wasp in Lithuania, Symmorphus allobrogus, has been investigated: the assimilation of prey and weight loss during development from larva to adult in both sexes have been compared. Results of a laboratory experiment using S. allobrogus as a model species demonstrated that the amount of prey available in the environment affects the number of cells in the nest of solitary wasp. The list of solitary Hymenoptera inhabiting trap-nests in Lithuania are presented. / Geluoninių plėviasparnių, apsigyvenančių lizdavietėse-gaudyklėse bendrijos, yra potencialūs ekologinių pokyčių ir buveinių kokybės bioindikatoriai sausumos ekosistemose, todėl vis dažniau naudojamos įvairiuose tyrimuose. Darbo tikslas buvo įvertinti lizdavietės rodiklių ir grobio, reikalingo palikuonims aprūpinti, gausumo įtaką lizdavietėse-gaudyklėse apsigyvenančių klosčiavapsvių rūpinimosi palikuonimis elgsenai. Tyrimų metu buvo ištirta lizdavietės skersmens ir gylio įtaka 13-kos lizdavietėse-gaudyklėse apsigyvenančių vapsvų rūšių lizdo struktūrai, palikuonių aprūpinimo maistu elgsenai ir lyčių santykiui; kai kurioms rūšims nustatyti optimalūs lizdavietės rodikliai. Taip pat buvo ištirtas, dažniausiai lizdavietėse-gaudyklėse pasitaikiusios rūšies, Symmorphus allobrogus vystymasis nuo kiaušinio iki suaugėlio; palyginti skirtingų lyčių individų augimo greičiai ir svorio pokyčiai vystymosi metu. Atliktas laboratorinis eksperimentas, kurio rezultatai parodė, kad akelių skaičius lizde būna didesnis, jeigu aplinkoje yra didesnis maisto, reikalingo palikuonims aprūpinti, kiekis. Taip pat įvertinta patelės amžiaus įtaka rūpinimosi palikuonimis elgsenai. Darbe taip pat pateikiamas sinantropinių, Lietuvoje lizdavietėse-gaudyklėse apsigyvenančių plėviasparnių rūšių sąrašas.

Dentro de Aculeata as abelhas são importantes indicadores ecológicos, pois têm papel vital na manutenção natural através da polinização, e na Série Parasitica as vespas se desenvolvem como parasitóides regulando a população de outros artrópodos. A intensificação da agricultura e a conseqüente simplificação da estrutura das paisagens agrícolas têm exercido impacto sobre a riqueza da vegetação e da fauna e este tema tem despertado o interesse em todo o mundo. Diante da preocupação do impacto da agricultura sobre as abelhas nativas e parasitóides, este trabalho teve por objetivo fazer um diagnóstico da composição destes grupos em uma área agrícola no município de Rio Claro, SP. A propriedade estudada caracteriza-se pela produção de grãos, através do sistema de plantio direto e uso de produtos químicos para controle de ervas e insetos. Foram realizadas duas coletas mensais de maio de 2003 a junho de 2004, exceto outubro/03 e janeiro/04, utilizando 16 armadilhas tipo Moericke colocadas diretamente sobre o solo e expostas por 36 horas. Foram coletados 5308 himenópteros parasitóides pertencentes a 8 superfamílias e 22 famílias. As famílias Mymaridae, Encyrtidae, Scelionidae e Platygastridae foram as mais comuns com freqüência relativa de 30.88%, 19.05%, 14.96% e 6.69%, respectivamente. As demais 18 famílias foram coletadas com freqüência menor do que 5%. Foram coletadas 456 abelhas distribuídas em 20 gêneros, pertencentes a três famílias. Na composição da apifauna, Halictidae foi mais freqüente com 54.4% seguida de Apidae (40.8%) e Andrenidae (4.8%). Os gêneros Dialictus (38%) e Diadasia (30%) foram os mais freqüentes. Foi registrada a presença de Callonychium pela primeira vez no Estado de São Paulo. / Abstrac: Hymenoptera is one of the largest orders of insects, comprising wasps, bees, and ants. Among the Aculeata, bees are important ecological indicators, as they have a vital role in the natural maintenance through pollination. Among parasitic hymenopterans, wasps develop as parasitoids, regulating the population of other arthropods. The intensification of agriculture and consequently the simplification of the structure of the landscape have had an impact on the richness of the vegetation and fauna, which has attracted the attention of researchers around the world. Concerned with the impact of agriculture on native bees and parasitoids, this study aimed to assess the composition of these groups in an agricultural area in the city of Rio Claro, São Paulo State. The studied area is characterized by the production of grains through direct drilling and chemical products to control weeds and insects. Monthly samples were collected from May 2003 to June 2004, except October/03 and January/04, using 16 Moericke traps placed directly on the soil for 36 hours. A total of 5308 parasitoid hymenopterans of 8 superfamilies and 22 families were collected. Mymaridae, Encyrtidae, Scelionidae and Platygastridae were the most common families with relative frequencies of 30.88%, 19.05%, 14.96%, and 6.69%, respectively. Additionally, 18 families occurred with frequencies lower than 5%. A total of 456 bees of 20 genera belonging to three families were collected. Among bees, Halictidae was the most common family representing 54.4% followed by Apidae (40.8%), and Andrenidae (4.8%). Dialictus (38%) and Diadasia (30%) were the most common genera. Bees of the genus Callonychium were observed for the first time in São Paulo State. The type of management used in the area, direct drilling and soil irrigation, favored the growth of ruderal plants probably used as a source of food.

It is formed by a pair of testicles, two deferent ducts and one ejaculatory duct. In each deferent duct there is an enlarged region, the seminal vesicle, with an accessory gland opening in the end of it. Each testicle has three follicles which have germ cells in all spermatogenesis stages, even in sexually matures individuals. Sperms are released from testicles in bundles with up to 32 cells. These bundles are gradually disorganized inside seminal vesicle, witch have a fold that we believe that play a role like a valve, dosing sperms released in each ejaculation. In T. lactitarse, mating occurs before each oviposition what can assure male paternity of most offspring in that nest, since spermatheca is practically vestigial in these females and then might disable sperm storage. Otherwise in T. nitidum mating is less common and there is sperm inside spermatheca, although it is a little amount. This suggests that there are differences in reproductive strategies between both species. / O aparelho reprodutor masculino de Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) apresenta o padrão básico para os Hymenoptera, mas com variações morfológicas capazes de caracterizar o subgênero. Ele é formado por dois testículos, dois ductos deferentes e um ducto ejaculatório. Em cada ducto deferente há uma região diferenciada em vesícula seminal e desemboca uma glândula acessória. Cada testículo possui três folículos, os quais apresentam células germinativas nas diferentes fases da espermatogênese, mesmo em machos sexualmente maduros. Os espermatozóides deixam os testículos em feixes de até 32 espermatozóides. Esses feixes são gradualmente desfeitos nas vesículas seminais. Estas apresentam uma dobra que parece funcionar como uma válvula, dosando os espermatozóides liberados em cada ejaculação. Em T. lactitarse ocorrem cópulas antes de cada oviposição, o que pode garantir ao macho guarda a paternidade da maior parte da progênie feminina daquele ninho, já que a espermateca da fêmea é praticamente vestigial e, assim, deve impossibilitar o armazenamento de espermatozóides. Diferentemente, em T. nitidum as cópulas são menos freqüentes e há espermatozóides na espermateca, apesar de em pequena quantidade. Isso sugere que pode haver diferenças nas estratégias reprodutivas entre essas duas espécies.

The advent of next generation sequencing technologies has had a major impact on inference methods for population genetics. For example, community ecology studies can now assess species interactions using population history parameters estimated from genomic scale data. Figs and their pollinating fig wasps are obligate mutualists thought to have coevolved for some 75 million years. This relationship, along with additional interactions with many species of non-pollinating fig wasps (NPFW), makes this system an excellent model for studying multi-trophic community interactions. A common way of investigating the population histories of a community's component species is to use genetic markers to estimate demographic parameters such as divergence times and effective population sizes. The extent to which histories are congruent gives insights into the way in which the community has assembled. Because of coalescent variance, using thousands of loci from the genomes of a small number of individuals gives more statistical power and more realistic estimates of population parameters than previous methods using just a handful of loci from many individuals. In this thesis, I use genomic data from eleven fig wasp species, which are associated with three fig species located along the east coast of Australia, to characterise community assembly in this system. The first results chapter describes the laboratory and bioinformatic protocols required to generate genomic data from individual wasps, and assesses the level of genetic variation present across populations using simple summaries. The second results chapter presents a detailed demographic analysis of the pollinating fig wasp, Pleistodontes nigriventris. The inferences were made using a likelihood modelling framework and the pairwise sequentially Markovian coalescent (PSMC) method. The final results chapter characterises community assembly by assessing congruence between the population histories inferred for eight fig wasp species. The population histories were inferred using a new composite likelihood modelling framework. I conclude by discussing the implications of the results presented along with potential future directions for the research carried out in this thesis.

The approach of corruption in the judiciary institutions of the fifth century a. C., in The Wasps, highlight the artistic and political concerns of Aristophanes by preserving the values and integrity of democratic institutions of Athens. From the observation that proceeded Aristophanes in defense of the polis, the goal of this research is to analyze of the comedy The Wasps, centered on its principal: the prologue, the parodo, the agon, the parabasis, episodic scenes, the exodus and secondaries aspects: the educational, the political, the legal and the cultural. Aristophanes criticism came at a time when the Athenian society lived the splendor of democracy, reforms resulting from socio-political-economic Dracon, Solon, Cleisthenes and Pericles. In contrary pole of Athenian democracy, the politician and demagogue Cleon live, in the caricature comic, like a tyrant or an agent of divine king pre-classical Greece, which was the absolute master in society. Aristophanes covers all these aspects of Athenian life in two basic parts comedy: the first, going from verse 1 to verse 1010, relates to the conduct of manic of Filocleon (‘Which loves Cleon’) by courts, and the attempt of his son, Bdelicleon (‘Which hates Cleon’), to reeducating him; and the second, going from verse 1010 to verse 1535, concerned the social reintegration of Filocleão in Athenian life. Both parties of comedy are devoted, therefore, not only to criticize the conduct personal and functional of Filocleon, but invite the Athenian society to preserve its institutions or the functions of democratic power: the People's Assembly, the Council of Five Hundred and the Courts. / Esta Dissertação de Mestrado em Literatura Comparada tem por tema “O retrato das instituições judiciárias atenienses na comédia As Vespas, de Aristófanes.” A abordagem de corrupção nas instituições judiciárias do quinto século. a. C., em As Vespas, destaca as preocupações artísticas e políticas de Aristófanes, preservando os valores e integridade das instituições democráticas de Atenas. A partir da observação de que procedeu Aristófanes em defesa da pólis, o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a comédia As Vespas, centrada em seus aspectos principais: o prólogo, o párodo, o agón, a parábase, as cenas episódicas, o êxodo; e os secundários: o educacional, o político, o jurídico e o cultural. A crítica de Aristófanes veio em um momento em que a sociedade ateniense vivia o esplendor da democracia, resultante das reformas sócio-político-econômicas de Drácon, Sólon, Clístenes e Péricles. No pólo contrário da democracia ateniense, o político e demagogo Cleão vive, na caricatura cômica, como um tirano ou um agente divino rei da Grécia pré-clássica, que era o senhor absoluto na sociedade. Aristófanes abrange todos esses aspectos da vida ateniense em duas partes básicas da comédia As Vespas: a primeira, que vai do verso 1 ao verso 1010, diz respeito à conduta maníaca de Filocleão (‘O que ama Cleão’) pelos tribunais, e a tentativa de seu filho, Bdelicleão (‘O que detesta Cleão’), de reeducá-lo; e o segundo, passando do verso 1010 ao verso 1535, diz respeito à reinserção social de Filocleão na vida ateniense. Ambas as partes da comédia são voltadas, portanto, não só para criticar a conduta pessoal e funcional de Filocleão, mas para convidar a sociedade ateniense que salvaguarde as instituições ou as funções do poder democrático: a Assembleia do Povo, o Conselho dos Quinhentos e os Tribunais.

The management of gall-wasp pest, Leptocybe invasa (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), has been refined in Brazil in the nursery and field. The objectives of this study were to correlate the population dynamics of the pest with meteorological variables and evaluate chemical control efficiency in the nursery and field conditions. The L. invasa infestation indexes were evaluated in areas with average annual rainfall ranging from 800 to 1800 mm in 2 to 9 years old plants. The dynamic and fluctuation population were evaluated monthly, with the installation of 25 equidistant sticky traps in the field in 2011. The development of galls and the chemical control were evaluated in the nursery with 5 insecticides of different active ingredients. The volumetric growth of plants in the field was compared between treatments with insecticides. The Infestation Indexes in the field were higher in the average annual rainfall of 800-1100 mm. The number of adult insects and the Infestation Indexes of L. invasa in the field were higher in hotter and drier periods. The spatial distribution of the L. invasa adults tended to aggregation in the field. The gall size was similar between treatments with insecticides in the nursery. The emergence of L. invasa adults was lower with the insecticide imidacloprid at 1 g a.i./L in the nursery. The development of eucalyptus seedlings showed better volumetric development in the field, when treated in the nursery. Infestation by L. invasa was higher in warmer regions with lower average annual rainfall. This insect can be controlled in the nursery with the insecticide imidacloprid spraying at 1 g a.i./L....

abstract: The study of wasp societies (family Vespidae) has played a central role in advancing our knowledge of why social life evolves and how it functions. This dissertation asks: How have scientists generated and evaluated new concepts and theories about social life and its evolution by investigating wasp societies? It addresses this question both from a narrative/historical and from a reflective/epistemological perspective. The historical narratives reconstruct the investigative pathways of the Italian entomologist Leo Pardi (1915-1990) and the British evolutionary biologist William D. Hamilton (1936-2000). The works of these two scientists represent respectively the beginning of our current understanding of immediate and evolutionary causes of social life. Chapter 1 shows how Pardi, in the 1940s, generated a conceptual framework to explain how wasp colonies function in terms of social and reproductive dominance. Chapter 2 shows how Hamilton, in the 1960s, attempted to evaluate his own theory of inclusive fitness by investigating social wasps. The epistemological reflections revolve around the idea of investigative framework for theory evaluation. Chapter 3 draws on the analysis of important studies on social wasps from the 1960s and 1970s and provides an account of theory evaluation in the form of an investigative framework. The framework shows how inferences from empirical data (bottom-up) and inferences from the theory (top-down) inform one another in the generation of hypotheses, predictions and statements about phenomena of social evolution. It provides an alternative to existing philosophical accounts of scientific inquiry and theory evaluation, which keep a strong, hierarchical distinction between inferences from the theory and inferences from the data. The historical narratives in this dissertation show that important scientists have advanced our knowledge of complex biological phenomena by constantly interweaving empirical, conceptual, and theoretical work. The epistemological reflections argue that we need holistic frameworks that account for how multiple scientific practices synergistically contribute to advance our knowledge of complex phenomena. Both narratives and reflections aim to inspire and inform future work in social evolution capitalizing on lessons learnt from the past. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Biology 2016
