“…Wasps and sawflies visit many flowers with exposed nectaries (Fig 1A ;Kato, 2000;Corlett, 2001;Yamazaki & Kato, 2003;Inoue & Endo, 2006a;Ueno, 2015;Sugawara et al, 2016b). Specialized pollination systems including wasps are rarely recorded, but hornets like Vespa, Vespula, and Dolichovespula act as important pollinators of plants of Campanulaceae (e.g., Codonopsis (Fig.…”

“…Scoliid wasps are one of the major groups of flower visitors in sand dune ecosystems (Fig. 2; Inoue & Endo, 2006a, 2006b. Vespid wasps may be important pollinators in cold seasons because they can visit flowers that bloom in late autumn and early winter, such as Camellia sasanqua, Eriobotrya japonica (Rosaceae), Fatsia japonica (Araliaceae), and Mitrastemon yamamotoi (Mitrastemonaceae) (Yumoto 1987;Wang et al 2011;Ueno 2015;Suetsugu 2019).…”

Plant-pollinator interactions in East Asia: a review

Pollination studies in East Asia have been developing rapidly in recent decades. East Asia may provide important information on many aspects of plant-pollinator interactions because of the rich fauna and flora and highly heterogeneous environments that occur there. In this review, plant-pollinator interactions in East Asia were summarized. Bumblebees are important pollinators of many plant species in East Asia, as well as in Europe and North America. Native honeybees may also have important roles in pollination in East Asia. Bird pollination and hawkmoth pollination may be less common in East Asia than in North America. Geographic variation in pollination interactions is expected because several types of pollinators are rare or absent in some habitats or geographic regions. For example, specialized nectar-feeding vertebrates like sunbirds and pteropodid bats are absent from most of East Asia except for some areas in its southern part. Opportunistic nectar-feeding vertebrates may have important roles in pollination where specialized nectar-feeding vertebrates are absent. Human impacts on plant pollinator interactions are understudied in this region. However, climate change, habitat degradation, and invasive species may have negative impacts on plant-pollinator interactions and thus plant reproductive success there. The information available on the plant-pollinator interactions in East Asia is still limited because many plant and pollinator taxa and many types of habitats are understudied.

“…Insects have no mechanism to repair damage to their wings; therefore, as an insect ages and continues to use its wings, the amount of wing wear is cumulative and progressive (Alcock, 1996;Eltz et al, 1999;Hayes and Wall, 1999;Burkhard et al, 2002;Higginson and Barnard, 2004;Lopez-Uribe et al, 2008). Many studies have used wing wear to estimate relative insect age (Mueller and Wolf-Mueller, 1993;Kemp, 2000;Burkhard et al, 2002;Richards, 2003;Inoue and Endo, 2006;Peixoto and Benson, 2008). Wing wear has consequences, which include increased wingbeat frequency (Hargrove, 1975;Kingsolver, 1999;Hedenstrom et al, 2001), changed flight speed (Fischer and Kutsch, 2002), changed flight performance (Haas and Cartar, 2008;Jantzen and Eisner, 2008;Combes et al, 2010), changed foraging behaviour (Higginson and Barnard, 2004;Foster and Cartar, 2011) and increased risk of mortality (Cartar, 1992).…”

Organisms undergo wear and tear of their bodies as they age, as illustrated by tooth erosion, hearing loss, appendage loss and ovipositor wear (reviewed by Finch, 1990;Lalonde and Mangel, 1994). An example common to many flying insects is wing wear. Insects have no mechanism to repair damage to their wings; therefore, as an insect ages and continues to use its wings, the amount of wing wear is cumulative and progressive (Alcock, 1996;Eltz et al., 1999;Hayes and Wall, 1999;Burkhard et al., 2002;Higginson and Barnard, 2004;Lopez-Uribe et al., 2008). Many studies have used wing wear to estimate relative insect age (Mueller and Wolf-Mueller, 1993;Kemp, 2000;Burkhard et al., 2002;Richards, 2003;Inoue and Endo, 2006;Peixoto and Benson, 2008). Wing wear has consequences, which include increased wingbeat frequency (Hargrove, 1975;Kingsolver, 1999;Hedenstrom et al., 2001), changed flight speed (Fischer and Kutsch, 2002), changed flight performance (Haas and Cartar, 2008;Jantzen and Eisner, 2008;Combes et al., 2010), changed foraging behaviour (Higginson and Barnard, 2004;Foster and Cartar, 2011) and increased risk of mortality (Cartar, 1992).Many eusocial insects, particularly bees and wasps, rely on their wings to defend their nest from predators (Breed et al., 1990;Kastberger et al., 2009), maintain colony temperature and assure proper larval development (Heinrich, 1979a;O'Donnell and Foster, 2001), and acquire food for themselves and their colony (Heinrich, 1979a). Providing protection, care and food for the colony's young are the ways in which a non-reproductive forager increases its inclusive fitness. Therefore, wing wear may have important consequences for both individual and colony fitness.Risk of mortality in worker bumble bees (Bombus spp.) increases with age (Brian, 1952;Garofalo, 1978;Rodd et al., 1980;Goldblatt and Fell, 1987;Smeets and Duchateau, 2003), as it does in honey bees (Apis mellifera) (Dukas, 2008). Wing wear has been speculated to lead to an increased risk of mortality in honey bee drones (Rueppell et al., 2005) and tsetse flies (Glossina morsitans) (Allsopp, 1985). Bumble bees that either were wing-clipped or had high naturally occurring amounts of wear died earlier than did those with more pristine wings (Cartar, 1992). An increase in mortality risk with wing wear could result from a number of factors, all of which are supported only by speculation: decreased manoeuvrability, making it more difficult for a bee to escape from predators or severe weather conditions (Rodd et al., 1980), increased energy expenditure (Cartar, 1992) (but see Hedenstrom et al., 2001) and/or increased wingbeat frequency, which matters if the number of wingbeats is limited over a lifespan (Higginson and Gilbert, 2004). Regardless of how wing wear is linked with lifespan, the causes of wing wear have yet to be formally investigated in any insect.Wing wear is associated with male intra-sexual competition (Alcock, 1996), mating attempts (Ragland and Sohal, 1973), failed predator attacks (Robbins, 1981) and foraging activity...

“…Scarabaeidae larvae cause damage to the roots of several plants including turf grass, various beans, tree seedlings, and sugar cane (Kuranaga 1994;Potter & Held 2002;Blossey & Hunt-Joshi 2003). Because these wasps attack scarab beetle larvae, they are considered important biological control agents (Williams 1919;Nagamine 1980;Misra 1996;Inoue & Endo 2006;Grissel 2007).…”
