Comparison of Orchid Bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Species Composition Collected with Four Chemical Attractants [PDF]
Orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) are a diverse and important group of Neotropical pollinators. Numerous chemicals have been used in sampling orchid bees, and species-specific attraction, particularly of males, to these chemicals is well ...

Diversidade de Euglossini (Hymenoptera: Apidae) em áreas de Cerrado do Triângulo Mineiro, MG. [PDF]
Os Euglossini são abelhas típicas de matas tropicais úmidas, mas poucos estudos têm sido feitos estimando parâmetros ecológicos desse grupo em outras fitofisionomias.

An elevational gradient in floral traits and pollinator assemblages in the Neotropical species Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus in Peru. [PDF]
We analyzed floral traits and pollinator assemblages in the Neotropical species Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus along a steep elevational gradient in Peru. Results show floral traits and pollinator assemblage variation along the elevational gradient. We examined our results considering two hypotheses: (1) local adaptation to different bee assemblages ...

Single locus complementary sex determination in Hymenoptera: an "unintelligent" design? [PDF]
The haplodiploid sex determining mechanism in Hymenoptera (males are haploid, females are diploid) has played an important role in the evolution of this insect order.

Evolution of five environmentally responsive gene families in a pine-feeding sawfly, Neodiprion lecontei (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae). [PDF]
We examine the predictability of gene family size changes in the pine tree specialist Neodiprion lecontei. Overall, our results are consistent with predictable gene family expansions and contractions in response to novel selection pressures. Abstract A central goal in evolutionary biology is to determine the predictability of adaptive genetic changes ...

Effects of landscape, resource use, and body size on genetic structure in bee populations. [PDF]
Quantifying genetic structure and levels of genetic variation are important to predicting the ability of populations to persist in human‐altered landscapes and adapt to future environmental changes. We assessed genetic diversity and genetic structure for seven Euglossine bee species that vary in resource specialization and body size.
