Initial study of social vespid wasps by using molecular approach of 28s region

The social wasps (Vespidae) display a wide range of diversity in their ecology and social organization, providing insights into the origins of simple societies and the elaboration and maintenance of complex societies. Social wasps play an important role in our ecosystems and economies, for example,...
