摘要: Cuticular hydrocarbons were extracted from sixty individual workers six colonies ofVespa crabro L. and analyzed by combined gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry. Discriminant analysis of the cuticular hydrocarbon profiles queens showed that wasps could be grouped colony caste. Stepwise discriminant selected components which weighted most heavily in these analyses. Different combinations important grouping colony,
