Abstract

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to identify the nest materials, some physical characteristics and the essential composition of the nest of Vespa crabro germana Christ, 1791. Nest surfaces were observed with a stereomicroscope and a scanning electron microscope. In the inner surface of the V. c. germana nest, the medium thicknesses of the fibers in the envelope and comb varied between 5.30 and 11.90 µm with an average of 9.07 µm. In the outer surface of the nest, the medium thicknesses of the fibers in the envelope and comb were between 4.46 and 11.40 µm with an average of 7.68 µm. The nitrogen and protein concentration of the nest was 0.22 and 1.40%, respectively. The percentages of the fibers, saliva, oil and the water absorption capacity were calculated as 70-75, 25-30, 16-20 and 120-150, respectively. The amount of the elements nickel and copper in the nest was found to be 0.6 and 1.2 ppm, respectively. The major components of the nest were plant fibers, saliva and oil. Consequently, we have found that the ratios and the amounts of physical characteristics, the element composition and the fibers in the envelope and comb of the nest changed with environmental conditions.

土耳其小蜂(膜翅目:胡蜂科)巢纸材料某些结构特征的测定
摘要:本研究旨在鉴定德国小黄蜂(Vespa crabro germana Christ, 1791)巢的材料、一些物理特性和主要成分。用体视显微镜和扫描电镜对巢表面进行观察。在德国小蠊巢的内表面,包膜和梳状纤维的中等厚度在5.30 ~ 11.90µm之间,平均为9.07µm。在巢的外表面,包膜和梳状纤维的中等厚度在4.46 ~ 11.40µm之间,平均为7.68µm。巢内氮和蛋白质浓度分别为0.22%和1.40%。纤维百分比、唾液百分比、油脂百分比和吸水率分别为70-75、25-30、16-20和120-150。其中镍和铜的含量分别为0.6 ppm和1.2 ppm。巢的主要成分是植物纤维、唾液和油脂。因此,我们发现,巢的物理特性、元素组成和纤维的比例和数量随着环境条件的变化而变化。
