The sting of the Aculeata or stinging wasps is a modifed ovipositor; its function (killing or paralyzing prey, defense against predators) and the associated anatomical changes are apomorphic for Aculeata. The change in the purpose of the ovipositor/sting from being primarily an egg laying device to being primarily a weapon has resulted in modifcation of its handling that is supported by specifc morphological adaptations. Here, we focus on the sheaths of the sting (3rd valvulae = gonoplacs) in Aculeata, which do not penetrate and envenom the prey but are responsible for cleaning the ovipositor proper and protecting it from damage, identifcation of the substrate for stinging, and, in some taxa, contain glands that produce alarm pheromones. -

Checklist of the Spider Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) of British Columbia
Checklist of the Spider Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) of British Columbia Scott Russell Spencer Entomological Collection Beaty Biodiversity Museum, UBC Vancouver, B.C. The family Pompilidae is a cosmopolitan group of some 5000 species of wasps which prey almost exclusively on spiders, giving rise to their common name - the spider wasps. While morphologically monotonous (Evans 1951b), these species range in size from a few millimetres long to among the largest of all hymenopterans; genus Pepsis, the tarantula hawks may reach up to 64 mm long in some tropical species (Vardy 2000). B.C.'s largest pompilid, Calopompilus pyrrhomelas, reaches a more modest body length of 19 mm among specimens held in our collection. In North America, pompilids are known primarily from hot, arid areas, although some species are known from the Yukon Territories and at least one species can overwinter above the snowline in the Colorado mountains (Evans 1997). In most species, the females hunt, attack, and paralyse spiders before laying one egg on (or more rarely, inside) the spider. Prey preferences in Pompilidae are generally based on size, but some groups are known to specialize, such as genus Ageniella on jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) and Tachypompilus on wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) (Evans 1953). The paralysed host is then deposited in a burrow, which may have been appropriated from the spider, but is typically prepared before hunting from existing structures such as natural crevices, beetle tunnels, or cells belonging to other solitary wasps. While most pompilids follow this general pattern of behaviour, in the Nearctic region wasps of the genus Evagetes and the subfamily Ceropalinae exhibit cleptoparasitism (Evans 1953). -

A Baseline Invertebrate Survey of the Ken Hill Estate, 2019
A baseline invertebrate survey of the Ken Hill Estate, 2019 Graeme Lyons February 2020 Fig. 1. The nationally rare Breckland Leather Arenocoris waltlii is listed as Critically Endangered 0 – Summary The Ken Hill Estate plan to rewild a large area of some 400 ha of their Estate during 2019 and 2020. The summer of 2019 was the last crop for much of this area and as such, the 2019 survey season was an exciting opportunity to collect baseline data before any changes were made to the site. The author was commissioned to carry out a wide range of surveys in 2019, including this baseline invertebrate survey. A methodology used by the author to monitor other rewilding sites nationally was adopted based upon surveying eight fields/sections, six times from April to September. The sections needed to represent the site geographically, representationally in terms of habitats and crops and make a realistic circular route. Each section was recorded for 30 minutes using the method pertinent to the season. Specimens were taken and identified at the microscope. Eight species lists were produced and an overall site species list was also produced. All species with conservation status were recorded and species accounts given. Any species recorded between section or on different surveys were also recorded. A total of 1895 records were made during the six visits comprised of 811 species, 50 species of which had conservation status (6.2%). The total number of species was exceptionally rich, the highest figure of any six-visit invertebrate survey carried out by the author. The proportion of species with status was comparable to other rewilding surveys but these were carried out some 15 years after rewilding began. -
Positive and Negative Impacts of Non-Native Bee Species Around the World

Bold, underlined, and shaded text refers to citations with an empirical component while unbolded text refers to papers that refer to impacts only from a hypothetical standpoint. Light grey shading indicates species for which neither positive nor negative impacts have been recorded. “But see” refers to manuscripts that show evidence or describe the opposite of the effect and is capitalized when only contradictory studies could be found. Note that Apis mellifera scutellata (the “Africanized” honeybee), is treated separately given the abundance of research specifically studying that subspecies.

Bee-Plant Networks: Structure, Dynamics and the Metacommunity Concept
Ber. d. Reinh.-Tüxen-Ges. 28, 23-40. Hannover 2016 Bee-plant networks: structure, dynamics and the metacommunity concept – Anselm Kratochwil und Sabrina Krausch, Osnabrück – Abstract Wild bees play an important role within pollinator-plant webs. The structure of such net- works is influenced by the regional species pool. After special filtering processes an actual pool will be established. According to the results of model studies these processes can be elu- cidated, especially for dry sandy grassland habitats. After restoration of specific plant com- munities (which had been developed mainly by inoculation of plant material) in a sandy area which was not or hardly populated by bees before the colonization process of bees proceeded very quickly. Foraging and nesting resources are triggering the bee species composition. Dis- persal and genetic bottlenecks seem to play a minor role. Functional aspects (e.g. number of generalists, specialists and cleptoparasites; body-size distributions) of the bee communities show that ecosystem stabilizing factors may be restored rapidly. Higher wild-bee diversity and higher numbers of specialized species were found at drier plots, e.g. communities of Koelerio-Corynephoretea and Festuco-Brometea. Bee-plant webs are highly complex systems and combine elements of nestedness, modularization and gradients. Beside structural com- plexity bee-plant networks can be characterized as dynamic systems. This is shown by using the metacommunity concept. Zusammenfassung: Wildbienen-Pflanzenarten-Netzwerke: Struktur, Dynamik und das Metacommunity-Konzept.
