Gynandromorphy in Eulaema atleticana Nemésio (Apidae, Euglossini)
A gynandromorph specimen of Eulaema atleticana Nemésio, the first registered in Eulaema, is described. The E. atleticana gynandromorph was captured using an eucalyptol scent trap, in the Mata do Buraquinho Reserve, an Atlantic Forest fragment. The study site has 550 ha and is located in the urban area of the Municipality of João Pessoa, State of ...

Niche partitioning is one of the key mechanisms allowing species coexistence and is especially relevant in species‐rich communities. For pollinators, morphology is a major axis in which species differentiate their foraging niche, as it influences the match with flower morphology. Bumblebees Bombus spp.
