A Long Slit-Like Entrance Promotes Ventilation in the Mud Nesting Social Wasp, Polybia spinifex: Visualization of Nest Microclimates using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Polybia spinifex Richards (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) constructs mud nests characterized by a long slit-like entrance. The ventilation and thermal characteristics of the P. spinifex nest were investigated to determine whether the nest microclimate is automatically maintained due to the size of the entra...
