A team of biologists, led by Prof. Seirian Sumner, a British biologist from University College London (United Kingdom) whose interest lies in molecular evolution and social insects, completed a wasp study in Panama, helped by Professor Javier Hurtado Yow, from the University of Panama. It’s a project that involves the primitive tropical wasp Polistes canadensis, which is reddish-brown in colour and is commonly known as the paper wasp.
This note describes general aspects of the Nest Drifting project in Punta Galeta, with the contributions of the scientists associated with it, Dr. Solenn Patalano, Dr. Thibault Lengronne and Dr. Emily Bell, highlighting their transcendental contribution through all the bibliographic references cited here. From the execution of the fieldwork, to the findings of the research in the present, the information has been used as an important academic contribution in the methodological strategy of the teaching and learning process of the students participating in the courses of Professor Javier Hurtado Yow, on General Ecology, Ecology of Ecosystems, Ecology of Populations, among others, belonging to the curriculum of the Bachelor's Degree in Biology with orientation in Environmental Biology, of the School of Biology of the Regional University Center of Colón of the University of Panama.
