Bee Body Size and Foraging Behavior Predict the Pollination Role of Bees in a Buzz-Pollinated Plant Community. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated how bee traits influence pollination success in a buzz‐pollinated plant community. Larger body size and floral sonication strongly predicted stigma contact, a proxy for pollination efficiency, while longer handling times were associated with reduced effectiveness.

Effects of Propeller and Stirring-Speed on the Rheological, Physicochemical, and Sensory Characteristics of Creamed Honeys. [PDF]

J Texture Stud
Mixing conditions influenced the rheological behavior of creamed honey, particularly viscosity and viscoelastic moduli. Despite structural sensitivity to temperature, all samples showed high sensory acceptance and purchase intent, highlighting processing parameters as critical for optimizing industrial production of creamed honey.

Exploring the importance of aromatic plants' extrafloral volatiles for pollinator attraction. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Aromatic plants occur in many plant lineages and have widespread ethnobiological significance. Yet, the ecological significance and evolutionary origins of aromatic volatile emissions remain uncertain. Aromatic emissions have been implicated in defensive interactions but may also have other important functions.

The Morphology of the Rare Beetle Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a Commensal of the Semiaquatic Russian Desman. [PDF]

J Morphol
We document in detail the morphology of Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a commensal of the endangered semiaquatic Russian desman, and discuss it with respect to phylogeny and function. Silphopsyllus is much less adapted to life on a semiaquatic host than the closely related beaver beetle Platypsyllus.

As abelhas nativas em práticas pedagógicas da Educação Ambiental escolar

Revista Brasileira de Educação Ambiental (RevBEA), 2023
As abelhas são os insetos polinizadores mais importantes, mas, de modo geral, as abelhas brasileiras são pouco conhecidas. Explorar a diversidade deste grupo, como as abelhas nativas sem ferrão, e ampliar as reflexões socioambientais sobre seu ...

A systemic fungicide might reduce the male genitalia of a stingless bee species by one-third

Entomological Communications, 2023
Bees are essential pollinating insects that significantly contribute to crop production. However, the use of pesticides in modern agriculture has resulted in bees being exposed to a plethora of harmful substances.

Potencial de espécies arbóreas para a nidificação de abelhas mativas no bioma Caatinga

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2022
A biodiversidade da Caatinga, bioma exclusivamente brasileiro com alto grau de endemismo, está constantemente ameaçada pelas ações antrópicas, especialmente o desmatamento. Em consequência, as abelhas têm seus nichos ecológicos impactados. Nesse sentido,
