A high-quality genome assembly for carpenter bees

open access: yesPeer Community in Genomics
Climate change and anthropogenic stressors are driving rapid biodiversity loss and dynamic shifts in species ranges (Outhwaite et al. 2022). Partially in response to the decline in biodiversity, the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) has been ...

Reproductive traits and floral visitors of Aechmea distichantha plants growing in different habitats of a South American xerophytic forest [PDF]

open access: yesRodriguésia, 2018
Aechmea distichantha, a widely-distributed facultative epiphytic bromeliad species, is present from rainforests to xerophytic forests. At its southernmost distribution (Humid Chaco) it grows in the understory and forest edges.

Multiple origins of sexual dichromatism and aposematism within large carpenter bees

open access: yesEvolution, 2018
The evolution of reversed sexual dichromatism and aposematic coloration has long been of interest to both theoreticians and empiricists. Yet despite the potential connections between these phenomena, they have seldom been jointly studied. Large carpenter

Xylocopa caerulea and Xylocopa auripennis harbor a homologous gut microbiome related to that of eusocial bees

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundEusocial bees, such as bumblebees and honey bees, harbor host-specific gut microbiota through their social behaviors. Conversely, the gut microbiota of solitary bees is erratic owing to their lack of eusocial activities.

Carpenter bee thorax vibration and force generation inform pollen release mechanisms during floral buzzing

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Approximately 10% of flowering plant species conceal their pollen within tube-like poricidal anthers. Bees extract pollen from poricidal anthers via floral buzzing, a behavior during which they apply cyclic forces by biting the anther and rapidly ...
