Viral load, not food availability or temperature, predicts colony longevity in an invasive eusocial wasp with plastic life history
Abstract Social insect colonies exhibit a variety of life history strategies, from the annual, semelparous colonies of temperate bees and wasps to the long-lived colonies of many ants and honeybees. Species introduced to novel habitats may exhibit plasticity in life history strategies as a result of...
