Centridini Bees as Manageable Pollinators of West Indian Cherry (Malpighia emarginata, Malpighiaceae) Orchards in Southeast Brazil [PDF]
SociobiologyThe West Indian cherry (Malpighia emarginata), commonly referred to as “Acerola”, has attracted particular interest due to its high vitamin C content in the fruit. One of the limitations observed in Acerola crops is their dependence on cross-pollination,

Interaction between Cymbidium aloifolium and Apis cerana: Incidence of an outlier in modular pollination network of oil flowers. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Cymbidium aloifolium is a perennial, epiphytic orchid found in the tropical regions of South Asia. Its oil‐rewarding flowers are invariably pollinated by a non‐oil bee, Apis cerana indica. The study highlights the mechanism and traits that establish floral constancy and pollination mutualism. Photo: Arjun Adit Abstract So far, oil‐rewarding flowers are

Plant species with the trait of continuous flowering do not hold core roles in a Neotropical lowland plant-pollinating insect network. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Plant species with longer reproductive seasons are posited to support more interactions compared to plant species with shorter reproductive seasons but this hypothesis has not been evaluated for plant species with the longest reproductive season possible at the individual plant level, the continuous reproductive phenology.

Reproductive behavior of the oil-collecting bee Epicharis dejeanii (Apidae: Centridini) [PDF]
Apidologie, 2020 In solitary bees, monandry is common in several species. Post-copulation strategies exerted by males to prevent females from mating with other males are known and vary between species. We studied a population of Epicharis dejeanii(Centridini) analyzing the reproductive aspects.
