Solid-phase microextraction has been used to investigate chemical communication in several social wasp species. Using the technique to analyse exocrine gland secretions, we demonstrate that the results are comparable with those obtained with the more classical methods that use solvents, eliminating, in many cases, the shortcomings of these methods in insect pheromone analysis. As a result of its simplicity this technique is very suitable for research on the chemical ecology of social wasps, and on insect communication in general.
固相微萃取已被用于研究几种群居黄蜂物种的化学通讯。利用该技术分析外分泌腺分泌物，我们证明，其结果与使用溶剂的更传统方法所获得的结果相当，在许多情况下，消除了这些方法在昆虫信息素分析中的缺点。由于其简单性，该技术非常适合用于群居黄蜂化学生态学以及一般昆虫通讯的研究。
