SOLA, Francisco J. et al. Recent invasion of the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago by the wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae). Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2015, vol.74, n.3-4, pp.197-202. ISSN 0373-5680.

Vespula germanica is an invasive worldwide species that has been detected in continental Patagonia of Argentina and Chile. In this work, we extend the range of this invasive wasp in Patagonia to include the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago. We indicate the location, year and habitat of each sighting and/or collection. The expansion pattern of this species indicates that it is well established in natural and anthropogenic areas and that it has most probably depended on human transport to arrive from the continent. This short communication also provides information to take practical measures for its mitigation and control, including basic information for the citizens of the island to become aware of its presence and help it not arrive to new areas. Finally, more research is recommended for management and control of this new invasive species in Tierra del Fuego.
