Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1989 A new subgenus Glossuropoda is proposed for Euglossa intersecta Latreille, 1837, as the type species. It is distinguished from Glossura by having a very peculiar configuration of the mid basitarsus of the male and lack of the median spur. Two new species

Raising the sugar content--orchid bees overcome the constraints of suction feeding through manipulation of nectar and pollen provisions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Unlike most other bees, the long-tongued orchid bees ingest nectar using suction feeding. Although long tongues allow exploitation of flowers with deep spurs, the energy intake rate is optimal at 10-20% lower nectar sugar concentrations compared to that ...

Concentrated vulnerabilities in bees: Diet specialists have smaller geographic ranges
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Niche breadth theory predicts a positive association between range size and diet breadth, which could concentrate risk among specialists, but this is not well established for bees. Using global occurrence data (range size) and natural history collection‐derived pollen data (diet breadth), we compared these traits in 633 species from six families and ...
