Foraging patterns of two sympatric wasp species: the worldwide invasive Polistes dominula and the native Hypodynerus labiatus

This study analyses the foraging behaviour of two wasps’ species: the invasive Polistes dominula and the native Hypodynerus labiatus. We compared how these wasps search for food in two types of environments: closed habitats with dense vegetation and open areas with sparse surrounding. We also recorded the heights at which they feed in each type of context.
