Solitary oil‐collecting bee in cities: Habitat suitability and lack of population structuring in Centris analis

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 982-996, November 2025.
Lack of genetic population structure in urban populations of Centris analis. Low morphological differentiation across four phytogeographical regions in Brazil. Monogyny‐monandry mating system in C. analis. Abstract The decline of insect populations worldwide has raised concerns about the negative impact on ecosystem services, particularly pollination ...

The Large Carpenter Bees (Xylocopa, Apidae) of the Neotropical Region: Phylogenetics, Classification and Biogeography

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 884-896, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The large carpenter bees of the genus Xylocopa comprise almost 400 species distributed worldwide. Their large body and ability to build nests through woodworking make them one of the most remarkable groups of bees. In the Neotropics, they comprise over 100 species occurring in tropical and subtropical environments including islands in the ...

Host‐Cleptoparasite Biogeographical Congruence Through Time: The Case of Cuckoo Oil Bees

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 5, May 2025.
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 ...

New host records of Aglaomelissa duckei and a compilation of host associations of Ericrocidini bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2009
For the first time, confirmed host records are reported for the monotypic Ericrocidini genus Aglaomelissa Snelling & Brooks, 1985. Aglaomelissa duckei (Friese, 1906) emerged from trap-nests of Centris (Heterocentris) analis (Fabricius, 1804) and C ...
