The Most Effective Pollinators Predict Intraspecific Floral Color Diversity Across an Edaphic Matrix. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A generalist‐pollinated plant endemic to rock outcrops recently expanded to weedy roadside meadow populations where it exhibited reduced flower color variation and less pigmented flowers. A relationship between flower color and pollinator community composition, and an especially strong link between color and relative abundance of the most effective ...

Evolution of the α-Glucosidase Gene Family in Apoidea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study traces the origin of the α‐glucosidase gene family in bees back to approximately 140 million years ago, revealing that its evolutionary history closely aligns with the rise of angiosperms and coevolution. Furthermore, by identifying the core members Hbg1–3 and 28 key functional sites driven by positive selection, the study systematically ...

Exotic and predatory: a spider (Araneae: Salticidae) that preys on native stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in Brazil

Revista Chilena de Entomología, 2023
Pollination is a fundamental ecosystem service for the natural balance. Bees are the main biological agents for carrying out this service. It is known that the excessive simplification process of the landscape through anthropic action hinders the ...

Pollen resources partitioning of stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) from the southern Atlantic forest

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2020
Meliponinae eusocial bees are among the most important pollinators in the Neotropics and their beekeeping has been growing as both recreational and economic activity. Information on the pollen preferences and niche overlap among species coexisting in the
