Pollinator diversity (Hymenoptera and Diptera) in semi-natural habitats in Serbia during summer [PDF]
The aim of this study was to assess species diversity and population abundance of the two main orders of pollinating insects, Hymenoptera and Diptera. The survey was conducted in 16 grassland fragments within agro-ecosystems in Vojvodina, as well as in ...

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. lepeletieri, and Aglae caerulea, ranged from 12.5 to 28 mm in length (n = 522; 50 females; 472 males), and within species, some were 40‐80 ...

Presence of Euglossa (Euglossa) amazonica outside of the Amazon Basin – biogeographic insights [PDF]
Distributional patterns of euglossine bees are often shadowed by the most noticeablefeatures of the group, their morphology and behavior. With the constant discovery of records ofeuglossine species in novel localities, and the ongoing systematic work in ...

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 priority area for studies that seek to gain a better understanding of bee fauna.

Morphology of the male reproductive system and spermiogenesis in Hypanthidium foveolatum (Alfken, 1930) (Hymenoptera : Apidae : Megachilinae) [PDF]
The morphological aspects of male reproductive tract, spermiogenesis and spermatozoa are typical for each species and reflect its evolution, establishing a unique source of characters, which has been used to help solve phylogenetic problems.

Ultrastructural and Cytochemical Aspects of Metamorphosis in the Midgut of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Apinae) [PDF]
The midgut of Apis mellifera is remodeled during metamorphosis. The epithelium and, to a lesser extent, the muscular sheath degenerate between the end of the last larval instar and the onset of pupation (prepupa). The larval epithelium is shed to the midgut lumen and digested, while a new epithelium is reconstructed from larval regenerative cells ...

The evolution of floral sonication, a pollen foraging behavior used by bees (Anthophila)
Abstract Over 22,000 species of biotically pollinated flowering plants, including some major agricultural crops, depend primarily on bees capable of floral sonication for pollination services. The ability to sonicate (“buzz”) flowers is widespread in bees but not ubiquitous.

Diversity of Wild Bees along Elevational Gradient in an Agricultural Area in Central Java, Indonesia
Increases in mean temperature affect the diversity and abundance of wild bees in agricultural ecosystems. Pollinator community composition is expected to change along an elevational gradient due to differences in the daily ambient temperature. This study investigated the diversity and abundance of wild bees in an agricultural area along an elevational ...

Host‐Cleptoparasite Biogeographical Congruence Through Time: The Case of Cuckoo Oil Bees
ABSTRACT Aim Insect brood parasites (i.e., cleptoparasites), like cuckoo bees, typically attack hosts within specific lineages, but seem to be less constrained by the biogeographical movements of their hosts compared to obligate parasites. Cuckoo bees depend on stable host populations, being particularly sensitive to environmental changes and thus ...
