Nesting and reproductive habits of the solitary bee Centris analis in trap nests under a tropical climate

Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2019
Pollination is a key factor in global agricultural production, and there is a need to increase the number of bee species that can be bred for pollination in agriculture, such as the oil-collecting solitary bee Centris (Heterocentris) analis (Fabricius ...

Complex interactions in ant–plant mutualisms: The role of multiple ant food resources in mediating plant defence, pollination and fitness in a tropical shrub

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1137-1147, December 2025.
Our results show that ants reduced leaf herbivory on plants offering both EFN and trophobiotic insects. Although ants did not directly affect pollinator behaviour, leaf herbivory in plants hosting treehoppers indirectly influenced pollination by reducing both visit duration and frequency.

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

Zoologica 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 ...

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

Zoologia (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 ...
