Geographic variation of melanisation patterns in a hornet species: genetic differences, climatic pressures or aposematic constraints?

Coloration of stinging insects is often based on contrasted patterns of light and black pigmentations as a warning signal to predators. However, in many social wasp species, geographic variation drastically modifies this signal through melanic polymorphism potentially driven by different selective p...
