A dual pollination strategy combining perfume attraction and food deception in Galeandra blanchetii E.S. Rand (Orchidaceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Galeandra blanchetii exhibits a dual‐attraction strategy: male euglossine bees are lured by floral scents as a resource, while both sexes are deceived by non‐existent nectar. Pollination only occurs when bees enter the spur to search for nectar, highlighting an evolutionary transition towards the perfume flower syndrome in Catasetinae.

Buzzing Wild Bee Visits Enhance Seed Set in Eggplant, Solanum melongena

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Sixty percent of the angiosperms with poricidal anthers are buzz‐pollinated by bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Apiformes). Plant taxa with Solanum‐type flowers have larger anthers and shorter filaments. Solanum melongena (Solanaceae) is more commonly and efficiently pollinated by buzz pollinators. The present study documented bees and their diurnal pattern

Structural Colour in Bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) Is Linked to Climate and Latitude

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Environmental drivers frequently predict global patterns of colour diversity, but whether such patterns depend on the underlying colour mechanisms—pigments or microscopic structures—has scarcely been considered. Structural colour may have different functional properties that result in different associations with environmental variables ...

Generalist Bee Species on Brazilian Bee‐Plant Interaction Networks

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Determining bee and plant interactions has an important role on understanding general biology of bee species as well as the potential pollinating relationship between them. Bee surveys have been conducted in Brazil since the end of the 1960s. Most of them applied standardized methods and had identified the plant species where the bees were collected ...

Floral resource diversity drives spatiotemporal variation in plant–pollinator network structure

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Mechanisms underlying community assembly, including those related to species interactions, vary across space and time. Plant–pollinator networks exemplify these dynamics, where link rewiring and turnover mediate adaptations to environmental changes. Bees rely on diverse floral resources (e.g.

Corrigendum to "Bee systematics and conservation"

Sociobiology
In the published article, Figure 2 was incorrect because the geographic areas of three taxa were shown with errors: the Allodapini (Apidae) occur in the Afrotropical, Australian, Oriental, and Palearctic regions; the Centridini (Apidae) occur in the ...
