“…This way, we think our analyses suggest a novel view about the importance of the behavioral repertoire of females in wasp nests, at least in the genus Mischocyttarus, which is endemic to the Americas. We think that this new scenario might explain why M. cassununga is characterized by a stable linear social hierarchy (Murakami & Shima, 2010) and why dominants of this species eat more protein than the subordinates of the nest (Murakami & Shima, 2006). …”

“…Mischocyttarus cassununga is a species of neotropical wasp characterized by a linear and well stable dominance hierarchy, high longevity and rare replacement of the reproductive dominant female ("queen") in the colony (Murakami & Shima, 2009;Murakami & Shima, 2010). The aims of the present study were to verify whether intercolonial identity could be discriminated using the cuticular hydrocarbons.…”

“…Bruyndonckx et al [10] carried out experimental manipulations on Ropalidia marginata and suggested that dominance and subordination interactions, beyond social control, also act as a signal for workers to collect more food. Physiological conditions of females, such as the amount of fat body and ovarian development, are positively related to the dominance rank in Mischocyttarus cassununga [11,12]. Litte [13] verified that when the queens of Mischocyttarus mexicanus were removed the non-egglaying foundresses were capable of developing their ovaries and started to lay eggs one week after the queen's removal.…”
