Figures 1–2. Aporus hirsutus and Aptostichus simus. 1 in Nesting behavior, ecology, and functional morphology of the trapdoor spider-hunting spider wasp Aporus (Plectraporus) hirsutus (Banks) (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae)
Figures 1–2. Aporus hirsutus and Aptostichus simus. 1) Aporus hirsutus resting on sand, digging in sand, sandy coastal back dunes, Santa Barbara County, CA; 12 June 2014; A. Abela. The species name "hirsutus" refers to the hairiness of the body. Species identification structures include short antennae and forelegs, quasi-triangular flattened head, elongate pronotum, swollen forefemur and foretibia, thick foretarsal rake spines, and only two submarginal cells in forewing. The concave back of the head, not seen to this degree in other Nearctic Aporus species, fits snugly against the front of the convex pronotum, enabling the wasp to tunnel unobstructed through sand. Photograph © Alice Abela. 2) Aptostichus simus female on sand, Montaña de Oro State Park, San Luis Obispo County, CA; 8 June 2014; A. Abela. Females lack obvious distinguishing external morphological features, except for sharply delineated patch of endite cuspules on abdominal venter. All Aptostichus species have psammophilous body coloration (Bond 2012). Photograph © Alice Abela.

Behavioral strategies and the spatial pattern formation of nesting
<p>This dataset contains data from a combined field and simulation study regarding spatial pattern formation of nesting, described in the paper: "Batsleer, F., Maes, D., Bonte, D. (2021) Behavioral strategies and the spatial pattern formation of nesting. The American Naturalist".</p> <p>The study investigates the relative importance of environmental and behavioral mechanisms in nest aggregations of the ground-nesting digger wasp <em>Bembix rostrata</em>. A field study was combined with an individual-based model that simulated the possible behaviors of spatial organisation of nesting.</p> <p>In the first analysis, a microhabitat model was built based on the location of the nests from a capture-mark-recapture study (CMR) and environmental variables NDVI (vegetation) and insolation (sun irradiance), derived from detailed remote sensing data from a drone flight.</p> <p>In the second analysis, an IBM was built that combined three possible mechanisms of nest choice to simulate the emerging spatial and network patterns found in the field. This was done by combining an environmental cue (based on the microhabitat model) and two relevant behavioral mechanisms related to local site fidelity and conspecific attraction. Strengths and combinations of the mechanisms could vary. Simulations were compared to the field data to find which combinations and strengths of mechanisms can best explain the emerging spatial and network patterns.</p> <p>The main results are that 1) the observed pattern in nature is best predicted by the simultaneous effect of a weak environmental cue and strong behavioral mechanisms. 2) individuals differ in their combination of mechanisms used and will either use local site fidelity (personal information) or conspecific attraction (inadvertent social information), but not both simultaneously. 3) We demonstrate that the nest pattern formation of a central place foraging insect cannot be considered as the sum of environmental and behavioral mechanisms.</p>
