The Evolution of Social Wasps
Social behavior occurs in some of the smallest animals as well as some the largest, and the transition from solitary life to sociality is an unsolved evolutionary mystery. In The Evolution of Social Wasps, James H. Hunt examines social behavior in a single lineage of insects, wasps of the family Vespidae. He presents empirical knowledge of social wasps from two approaches, one that focuses on phylogeny and life history and one that focuses on individual ontogeny, colony development, and population dynamics. He also provides an extensive summary of the existing literature while demonstrating how it can be clouded by theory. Hunt's fresh approach to the conflicting literature on sociality highlights how oft repeated models can become fixed in the thinking of the scientific community. Instead, Hunt presents a mechanistic scenario for the evolution of sociality in wasps that changes our perspective on kin selection, the paradigm that has dominated thinking about social evolution since the 1970s. This innovative new model integrates life history, nutrition, fitness and ecology in which social insect biologists will find a rich storehouse of ideas and information, and behavioral ecologists will find a bracing challenge to long accepted models. Engagingly written, bold, and provocative, The Evolution of Social Wasps marks a milestone in our understanding of one of lifes major evolutionary transitions - the origin of social behavior.
Protecting Yourself Against Wasps - Wasps Sting Treatment
by John Adam
Wasps can be a dangerous insect for some individuals. They sting like a bee but can sting numerous times. During the time of sting, wasps send a message to other wasps alerting them of danger. This can cause you to be attacked by a swarm, especially if you get stung near the nest. If you notice a nest, the best time for wasp nest removal is in the evening. Wasps are drowsy in the evening.
There are several different types of wasps. Some build honeycomb nests, while others may build mud nests. Either type of wasp can be dangerous to you and your family. It may be best to call in a professional. There are a number of wasp nest removal companies that are equipped to rid the nest safely and effectively. Depending on the size and location of the nest will help determine the cost. Some locations can contact their local environmental council who may be able to assist at a lower cost for the wasp nest removal. But if you choose to do it yourself, here are a few tips you should know when it comes to wasp nest removal .
In order to perform a wasp nest removal, one should protect themselves. To do it safely and effectively, you should have a helper. Before trying to remove the nest you should protect yourself, as well as, your helper by wearing protective clothing or layers of clothing. You should use a veil or something similar to protect the face and neck. Wasp stings to the face and neck can be very harmful. This is because wasp stings cause swelling and can restrict breathing if stung in these places. You should also wear gloves.
Some people will purchase and spray the nest with insecticides before trying to remove the nest. This can be beneficial to say the least. But before you spray, again you should wear protective clothing. Wasps come to nest in the early evening, they become drowsy so spraying at this time can eliminate the chance of getting stung tremendously. After allowing the insecticide to work, you can attempt to remove the nest. On a mud nest, you will want to squash it, on a honeycomb nest, you should put it in an air tight container. Wasps can chew through a lot of material so choose your container wisely. Some people will choose to burn the nest, which can be effective but can also allow for the wasps to escape and attack you.
Wasps usually find their homes in trees, the walls and eaves of your home or garage, and can even be found under the rails of swimming pools and in the ground. Wasps are often mistaken as bees but are far more dangerous than the bee. Wasps are able to sting more than once as where the bee is not. No matter what type of wasp nest removal you are going to perform, you should always protect yourself. It could be more protective for yourself to hire a professional for your wasp nest removal.

Bees, Wasps, and Ants: The Indispensable Role of Hymenoptera in Gardens - Wasps Sting Treatment
Few insects are more important than bees, wasps, and ants. They maintain the garden’s biological balance, fertilize vegetables, fruits, and flowers, and recycle nutrients within the soil. It’s no exaggeration to say that a garden can’t be understood without an understanding of its insects.
Bees, Wasps, and Ants explores the importance of the Hymenoptera and explains how gardeners can encourage (or discourage) them in the garden. Part One includes a summary of their biology and a tour of what role they play in each part of the garden. Part Two takes a closer look at the individual groups within the family, including sawflies, horntails, woodwasps, parasitic wasps, predatory wasps, bees, and ants.
Bees, Wasps, and Ants is sure to persuade even the most insectphobic reader to invite these fascinating creatures into their gardens.
Wasps (Blastoff! Readers: World of Insects) - Wasp Sting Treatment
Did you know that wasps chew plants and wood to make a paste that hardens into paper? They use this paste to make the nests in which they live. Eager readers will learn how wasps help protect plants, use their stingers, and build different kinds of nests.
Grade 3–5—Meet Chewbaaka, an ambassador for the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia. He is the subject of this book and has charmed many visitors, school groups, and area farmers. Chewbaaka is a rescued cheetah, raised with humans, and has a powerful purr. However, it is Laurie Marker, Time magazine's Hero of the Planet, who is responsible for his success story. Her research, PR work, and guidance have changed the cheetah's survival rates. In addition to bits of information about the animal's eating habits, size, and lifespan, Hansen, who worked for the CCF, also outlines the organization's methodology, care, and programming. Readers go along with Dr. Marker to rescue a baby cheetah, walk into the veterinary surgery to see a life saved, and observe a successful cheetah release. Well-conceived placement of the text and photographs with CCF's trademark side-strip of cheetah fur make the pages pop, but part of the report feels like "what Hansen did on her summer vacation" because of the short, choppy sentences. Overall, though, this is an effective photo journal of an African adventure and a CCF publicity piece outlining its work. It shows progress against ignorance and destruction as area farmers are educated to the real versus perceived threats to the cheetah and are given specially trained dogs to protect their goats. While there are many other books about cheetahs, this is the only one about the CCF in action.—Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA
This beautiful photo-essay explores the animal-human connection and the urgency of the work to save the fastest land animals on earth. Hansen worked at the huge nature reserve and research center owned by the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in Namibia, southwestern Africa, and her account, which includes stories of animals raised at the center, packs in a lot of zoological information about cheetahs' life cycle, physiology, and role in the food chain. Hansen explains how conservation groups are helping the animals, (including the work to resolve conflicts with local farmers and the involvement of schoolchildren in raising awareness of the animals' plight) and the book offers an abundance of large, clear color photos, many taken by the author. Fans of books by Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey will identify with Laurie Marker, founder of the CCF^B, where^B science and research combine with tough love. A map, some fascinating scientific facts, a glossary, and a list of Web sites are included. Hazel Rochman

Cheetah Conservation Fund | Save the Rhino Endangered wildlife species rhinoceros black white | Africa Safaris
A rhinoceros is a powerful beast weighing 3 tons or more and wielding a deadly horn up to five feet long. Ruthlessly slaughtered for centuries, rhinos are suddenly one of conservation's great success stories as populations of white rhinos and black rhinos recover. Even so, rhinos are still at risk: Javan and Sumatran rhinos are close to extinction and the world rhino population is still less than it was just 30 years ago.
Rhino Rescue profiles people around the world who are helping rhinos, including:
Terri Roth of the Cincinnati Zoo, who guided the successful breeding of a rare Sumatran rhino in captivity for the first time in 112 years
Esmond Martin, who helped stop the use of rhino horn in ceremonial daggers, a change that saved thousands of rhinos
Rob Brett, who risks his life relocating rhinos, a key to successful conservation
Bibhab Talukdar, a conservationist from India, who does almost anything to protect the Indian rhino, including going undercover to nab poachers.
Illustrated with 50 spectacular color photographs, Rhino Rescue also surveys the biological issues in and challenges of preserving a future for endangered wildlife.

Grade 4-7 -The first five pages in each book provide overviews of the Web sites that can be accessed when using the required code and visiting the MyReportLinks.com home page. A one-page fact sheet gives information about the animal such as scientific name, gestation period, habitat, and coloration. The following chapters explain why the animal has become endangered and the efforts that are being made to save it. The information is current and accurate and the Web sites are educational. These books could be used as tools for demonstrating how research can be done using books and Internet sites. The biggest drawbacks are the small and unclear photos and maps, which are mainly screen prints of Web shots.-Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX
