“…The presence of various females with developed ovaries in several colonies examined is probably a widespread feature in the Stenogastrinae and, in particular, this seems the rule in the genus Parischnogaster. However, in P. alternata and in P. mellyi, colonial reproductive skew is almost always complete as only one female reproduces at a time (Fanelli et al 2005;Bolton et al 2006). Owing to the limited size of the colonies of P. striatula and despite the high percentage of females with developed ovaries, we could expect that also in this species only one female per colony is actually laying eggs (Fanelli et al 2005;Bolton et al 2006).…”

Owing to the limited size of the colonies of P. striatula and despite the high percentage of females with developed ovaries, we could expect that also in this species only one female per colony is actually laying eggs (Fanelli et al 2005;Bolton et al 2006). The fact that the reproductive skew may be high is also supported by the low number of eggs and by the presence of at least an equal number of empty cells found in the analysed colonies, as it occurs in the other mentioned species.…”

“…The reversal of the trade-off is evident in primitively social wasps (Toth, Sumner, and Jeanne 2016), shedding light on the mechanisms at play during early stages of social evolution within wasps, such as caste-specific modulation of reproduction by JH (Kapheim 2017). Socially polymorphic species such as the hover wasp Parischnogaster alternata (Bolton et al 2006), the sweat bee Megalopta genalis (Kapheim et al 2013), or the orchid bee Euglossa viridissima represent excellent study organisms for such investigations; the behavioural plasticity known for these species allows a direct comparison of solitary and social individuals within the same species, or even within the same population. Such comparisons allow us to identify molecular mechanisms underlying the remoulding of the trade-off in early stages of social evolution, thus distinguishing them from mechanisms which maintain or reinforce this remoulding in complex insect societies (Séguret, Bernadou, and Paxton 2016;Shell and Rehan 2018).…”
