“…Apoica thoracica : members of this genus are nocturnal; consequently, any diurnal predators encounter the entire complement of defensive adults on the nest (Van Der Vecht, 1973). Individuals are approximately 1.5 cm long and highly aggressive, attack en masse , and have an agonizing sting.…”

When food fights back: Cebid primate strategies of larval paper wasp predation and the high‐energy yield of high‐risk foraging

et al. 2023

Optimal foraging theory predicts that well‐defended potential foods should be exploited only when energy pay‐offs are great. Although stinging hymenopteran nests are both well‐defended and predated by primates, their larvae's energy yields rarely have been calculated, and predation‐linked foraging behaviours by primates infrequently documented. Based on 58 opportunistic observations of primates raiding wasp nests for larvae, we calculated energetic yields of low‐ and high‐risk wasp nest predation for Cebus albifrons, Saimiri collinsi, S. sciureus and Sapajus apella, and tested predictions derived from optimal foraging theory. We recorded how nests were processed and by which age‐sex classes, eaten nest fragment sizes, number of occupied and empty cells, and nest occupancy patterns (percent larvae/pupae, eggs, empty cells). Basal metabolic rate (BMR) calculations showed energetic yields from 15 min foraging on low‐risk nests (Polybia quadricincta) would meet energy needed to sustain adult female and male C. albifrons BMR for 4.9 and 4.5 h, respectively; yields from high‐risk (Chartergus artifex) nests for 6.5 and 6.2 h; Mischocyttarus sp. nest yields (low risk, but mimetically resembling other wasps) would meet S. collinsi BMR for 2.9 h (female) and 2.3 h (male), and 2.6 and 2.1 h, for the slightly larger S. sciureus, respectively. The Chartergus energetic‐yield value is nearly 20% of a 36 g chocolate bar (741 kJ). Our data provide quantitative support for the common assertion that wasp larvae and pupae are high‐yield foods for primates. As predicted by optimal foraging, energetic yield is sufficient to offset the risk and pain of being stung.

“…The taxonomy and synonymy of species generally follow those of Bogusch and Hadrava (2018), except we regard E. julliani and E. transitorius as separate species, following Le Divelec (2021). Morphological terminology follows that of Michener (1944Michener ( , 2007 and Engel (2001).…”

The nine species of the Epeolus julliani species group from the Palaearctic region are reviewed. Two new species are described and illustrated: Epeolus rasmonti Astafurova & Proshchalykin, sp. nov. (Russia, Mongolia, China) and E. kyzylkumicus Astafurova, sp. nov. (Central Asia). Epeolus julliani Pérez, 1884 and E. laticauda Bischoff, 1930 are newly recorded from Kazakhstan and E. seraxensis Radoszkowski, 1893 is newly recorded from Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. An identification key for both sexes of all members of this species group is presented.

At a time when nature conservation has become essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of our environment, it is widely acknowledged that conservation actions must be implemented within a solid taxonomic framework. In preparation for the upcoming update of the IUCN Red List, we here update the European checklist of the wild bees (sensu the IUCN geographical framework). The original checklist, published in 2014, was revised for the first time in 2017. In the present revision, we add one genus, four subgenera and 67 species recently described, 40 species newly recorded since the latest revision (including two species that are not native to Europe), 26 species overlooked in the previous European checklists and 63 published synonymies. We provide original records for eight species previously unknown to the continent and, as original taxonomic acts, we provide three new synonyms, we consider two names as nomina nuda, ten names as nomina dubia, three as species inquirenda, synonymize three species and exclude 40 species from the previous checklist. Around a hundred other taxonomic changes and clarifications are also included and discussed. The present work revises the total number of genera for IUCN Europe to 77 and the total number of species to 2,138. In addition to specifying the taxonomic changes necessary to update the forthcoming Red List of European bees, we discuss the sampling and taxonomic biases that characterise research on the European bee fauna and highlight the growing importance of range expansions and species invasions.
