“…Furthermore, most publications (55.12%, n= 43) used more than one sampling method, which became a trend after 2006; before that, the use of a single sampling method prevailed on most studies. This trend agrees with many studies (Silveira, 2002;Souza & Prezoto, 2006;Togni et al, 2014) that highlight the importance of conciliating methods in order to better record the fauna of wasps in an area.…”

“…Only six studies focused on the difference of the setting height for the sampling methods (Silveira, 2002;De Souza et al, 2011;Somavilla 2012;Somavilla et al, 2014b;Clemente, 2015;Barbosa, 2015), usually adopting two different heights, the canopy (close to 5 meters high) and the understory (chestheight, approximately 1,5 meters high). Two of these studies (De Souza et al, 2011;Barbosa, 2015) recorded greater species richness for the traps set in canopy height and also exclusive species for each setting height.…”

The first records of social wasps in Brazil were made during expeditions that focused on the taxonomy and distribution of the species in the country. From the 70s there was a change in the essence of publications on the diversity of social wasps, which began to be directed to a specific place, which over the years have incorporated the use of sampling methodologies and analysis of results through ecological indexes. Since then, the neotropical social wasps have gained more prominence because of the recognition that act decisively in the trophic balance of ecosystems, thus increasing interest in research on these insects. So, our aim was to conduct a detailed analysis of published studies diversity of social wasps in Brazil over the past 33 years, aimed at increasing knowledge about the history of these works. For the literature review criteria were adopted: keywords with the matter and publications indexed in databases within the defined period. We found 78 publications, with the majority (70.52%) in scientific journals. From the year 2005, there was a regularly featured in publications with the years 2010, 2012 and 2014 as the most productive and a concentration of studies in BA, MG and SP states. Were used 11 collection methods, however there no a pattern of time or collection methodology, highlighting the Search-Active methods and Attractive Trap. The contribution of this analysis is to extend the current status of knowledge of social wasps with research as well as guide and encourage future studies to places unexplored.

“…However, the occurrence of exclusive species demonstrates the importance of this technique. Therefore the use of more than one collection method is indicated in conducting inventories of social wasps, as proven in other studies (Silveira, 2002;Souza & Prezoto, 2006;Ribeiro Junior, 2008;Clemente, 2009;Togni, 2009;Souza et al, 2011;Jacques et al, 2012;Simões et al, 2012). …”

“…Studies on social wasps have been conducted in Brazilian areas of Cerrado (Richards 1978;Henriques et al, 1992;Diniz & Kitayama, 1994;Diniz & Kitayama, 1998;Silva-Pereira & Santos, 2006;Santos et al, 2009a;Santos et al, 2009b;Silva et al, 2011), Amazon Forest (Silveira, 2002;Silveira et al, 2005Silveira et al, , 2012Silva & Silveira 2009;Somavilla, 2012), Atlantic Forest (Santos et al, 2007) and Caatinga (Santos et al, 2009b). In areas of Cerrado 130 species were recorded (Richards, 1978;Diniz & Kitayama, 1994), while in the Amazon 20 genera and over 200 species were recorded (Silveira, 2002;Silva & Silveira, 2009).…”

Some species of wasps demonstrate plasticity with diverse nesting habits according to the environmental conditions and substrates used for building the nests, while others are restricted to habitats with specific conditions and may exhibit some degree of fide-lity. The aim of this study was to estimate species richness and abundance of nests of Polistini and Epiponini wasps in four landscape units in the Pantanal of Poconé, Retiro Novo Farm, southwestern Mato Grosso state, Brazil. The nests of social wasps were sampled in four plant physiognomies locally known as cambarazal, landizal, pombeiral and campo limpo from August 25, 2011 to April 11, 2012, being recorded 308 nests of eight genera and 14 species of social wasps. The highest number of nests belongs to Polybia ruficeps xanthops (32.69%), Poly. sericea (24.27%) and Synoeca surinama (15.21%). The highest species richness was recorded in cambarazal and the highest abundance of nests in pombeiral, while campo limpo showed the lowest richness and abundance of nests. The nests of S. surinama were associated with cambarazal and landizal (IndVal = 93.3, P = 0.001), while the nests of Poly. ruficeps xanthops and Poly. chrysothorax were associated with cambarazal, landizal and pombeiral (IndVal = 97, P = 0.001). There was lower abundance and lower species richness of wasps in campo limpo. These results demonstrate that the maintenance of forest environments in the Pantanal is essential for the establishment and maintenance of social wasp nests.
