黄腿大黄蜂（vespa velutina）已成为欧洲和东亚国家的主要外来物种之一。就像在它的家乡一样，入侵的美国。据报道，金蝇是蜜蜂的主要捕食者，正在成为欧洲养蜂业的威胁。然而，目前尚不清楚v。当它入侵分布着大量黄蜂物种的亚洲时，可能会影响当地的黄蜂。因此，通过分析线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶亚基I基因，我们研究了种间交配是否发生。和日本本土的西班牙语。我们的结果表明，外星人。日本本土大黄蜂的生殖干扰。百分之四十三的本地人。相似的女王有v的精子。在所有的雄性动物中。类似的分析显示，28%的人只有v。velutinasperm。我们没有找到v的证据。有v的精子的昆虫。simillimamales。这些发现表明v。绒猴对当地人构成了威胁。simillimapopulations。v的下降同样也会对其他与v相互作用的昆虫产生负面影响。simillima。
The yellow-legged hornetVespa velutinahas become one of the major alien species in European and East Asian countries. As in its homeland, the invadingV. velutinais reported as the major predator of honeybees and is becoming a threat to beekeeping in Europe. However, it remains unknown howV. velutinamight affect native hornets when it invades Asia, where a large number ofVespaspecies are distributed. Thus, by analyzing the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene, we investigated whether interspecific mating occurs betweenV. velutinaand Japanese nativeVespaspp. Our results showed that the alienV. velutinacauses reproductive interference in Japanese native hornetVespa simillima. Forty-three percent of nativeV. simillimaqueens had the sperm ofV. velutinamales, and among the allV. simillimaqueens analyzed, 28% only hadV. velutinasperm. We did not find evidence ofV. velutinaqueens having the sperm ofV. simillimamales. These findings suggest that reproductive interference byV. velutinamales poses a threat to the nativeV. simillimapopulations. A decline ofV. simillimamay also negatively affect other insects that interact withV. simillima.
