Behavioral Observations on eumenid wasps in Eastern California|昆虫学数据集|行为生态学数据集

Beginning in the summer of 1999 John Smiley observed foraging and nest building behavior of the prey-specialist Eumenid Wasp (Hymenoptera: Eumenidae) Symmorphus cristatus. He developed a set of criteria for recording the behavioral observations as a time series of events, for individually marked wasps and nesting holes. The data set consists of a large number of single observations, with a time stamp on each. The data were used to generate descriptive data for an article which appeared in Sears,A.L., Smiley,J.T., Hilker,M., Muller,F., and Rank,N.E. "Nesting behavior and prey use in two geographically separated populations of the specialist wasp Symmorphus cristatus (Vespidae: Eumeninae)."
