Population Traits and a Female Perspective for Aglae and Exaerete, Tropical Bee Parasites (Hymenoptera, Apinae: Euglossini)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2019
Size variation of both males and females leads to taxonomic confusion regarding wholly parasitic euglossines. The six most widespread species, Exaerete frontalis, E. smaragdina, E. dentata, E. trochanterica, E.

Richness of Wild Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in a Forest Remnant in a Transition Region of Eastern Amazonia

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2019
Eastern Amazonia is an area with great biological diversity that has suffered rapid deforestation and forest fragmentation over the years. Because of the scarcity of data on the fauna and flora, the northwest of the state of Maranhão has become a ...

Five decades of misunderstanding in the social Hymenoptera: a review and meta‐analysis of Michener's paradox

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 4, Page 1559-1611, August 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT In a much‐cited 1964 paper entitled “Reproductive efficiency in relation to colony size in hymenopterous societies,” Charles Michener investigated the correlation between a colony's size and its reproductive efficiency – the ability of its adult females to produce reproductives, measured as per‐capita output. Based on his analysis of published

The ant abdomen: The skeletomuscular and soft tissue anatomy of Amblyopone australis workers (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 6, Page 693-770, June 2022., 2022
The ant abdomen is critically understudied, despite its functional, evolutionary, and systematic importance. Using physical dissection, scanning electron microscope, histology, and microcomputed tomography, we provide the first complete treatment of the skeletomusculature, exocrine glands, and other major organs of the abdomen.

Conservation insights from wild bee genetic studies: Geographic differences, susceptibility to inbreeding, and signs of local adaptation

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1485-1496, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Conserving bees are critical both ecologically and economically. Genetic tools are valuable for monitoring these vital pollinators since tracking these small, fast‐flying insects by traditional means is difficult. By surveying the current state of the literature, this review discusses how recent advances in landscape genetic and genomic ...

Open‐canopy ponds benefit diurnal pollinator communities in an agricultural landscape: implications for farmland pond management

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 307-324, May 2021., 2021
The species‐rich insect‐pollinated plant communities typically encountered at farmland ponds significantly increase with long‐term canopy management and following pond restoration. Pond management and restoration significantly enhanced bee and wasp communities, with insect‐pollinated plant diversity appearing as a key factor explaining these changes ...
