Plant Biology, EarlyView.By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...

The Nest Architecture of Euglossa (Euglossa) Hemichlora (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini)
Revista Colombiana de Entomología, 2010 Information on the nesting biology of orchid bees is scarce due to the great difficulty of finding their nests. Comments and observations are presented about the architecture of the nests of Euglossa hemichlora obtained from trap nests as well as data on the nesting biology of this species of

Urban Landscape Influence Orchid Bee Diversity in a Tropical Megacity
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1153-1163, September 2026.ABSTRACT The increasing urbanization has affected pollinator communities, such as Euglossini bees, which play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity through the pollination of numerous plants. However, the impact of different levels of urbanization on the diversity of these bees is still not fully understood, especially in large tropical urban ...

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, August 2026.Hummingbird pollination is a hallmark of American plant diversity and has long been thought to evolve in tropical mountains due to declining bee activity. Using sister species of Costus specialized on bees (C. kuntzei) and hummingbirds (C. wilsonii), we show that this shift is not driven by reduced bee visitation with elevation, but by greater ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.
