Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf zwei Arten von Polistes: Polistes biglumis (Österreich) und Polistes gallicus (Italien). P. biglumis baut ihre Nester Ost-Süd-Ost orientiert auf Stein, um am meisten von der Sonne zu profitieren. P. gallicus vermeidet hingegen direkte Sonneneinstrahlung und baut ihre Nester im Schatten. Zur Untersuchung der Körperoberfläche und der Nesttemperatur wurden Infrarot Bilder während heißer Sommertage gemacht. Zusätzlich wurden mikroklimatische Daten mittels Daten-Logger gesammelt. In P. biglumis waren die Umgebungstemperatur (Ta) und die Umgebungstemperatur nahe beim Nest (Ta (nest)) meist unterhalb 35°C, bei P. gallicus waren Ta und Ta (nest) hingegen zeitweise höher als 40°. Bei P. gallicus wurden zudem höhere...
