The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Chemical recognition of reproductive status in social insects (2006, background): “…whether it could occur in societies with one multiple-mated queen as the chemical difference between full- and half-sisters is lower (Dani et al. 2004), and there is, to date, no example of nepotism in social insects (e.g., Solís et al. 1998, Strassman et al. 2000, Gamboa 2004, Holzer et al. 2006).”
Wax combs mediate nestmate recognition by guard honeybees (2006, background): “Exposure to nest material is an essential step in the acquisition of colony odour of many species of social insects, including paper wasps (e.g. Gamboa 2004) and social parasites.”
Scents of self: The expression component of self/non- self recognition systems (2004, background): “Wasps, like ants and bees, use chemical odor cues as labels for recognition (reviewed in Gamboa et al. 1986a, Singer 1998, Gamboa 2004), and young wasps form a template by learning or imprinting on these odors soon after eclosion (Shellman & Gamboa 1982, Pfennig et al. 1983a, Pfennig et al. 1983b).”
