Nesting Biology of Euglossa dodsoni Moure (Hymenoptera: Euglossinae) in Panama

Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society, 2009
The orchid bee genus Euglossa contains more than 100 species distributed throughout the Neotropics from Paraguay to Mexico (Michener, 2000). Most species nest in protected cavities such as in logs, trunks, small cavities between rocks, and man-made constructions, but some species build their nests in exposed sites where they are attached to small ...

Forest fragments with larger core areas better sustain diverse orchid bee faunas (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossina) [PDF]

Neotropical Entomology, 2010
Male orchid bees were attracted to chemical baits and collected in nine Atlantic Forest fragments in southeastern Brazil. Fragments differed in size and shape. Three additional sites were also sampled in a nearby large fragment. Three hypothetical core areas of each fragment were measured as the total area minus an area of 50, 100, and 200-m-wide ...

Species of Euglossa (Glossura) in the Brazilian Atlantic forest, with taxonomic notes on Euglossa stellfeldi Moure (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossina) [PDF]

Revista Brasileira De Entomologia, 2007
The species of Euglossa (Glossura) occuring in the Brazilian Atlantic forest were revised and an identification key to males and females is provided. The status of Euglossa annectans Dressler and E. stellfeldi Moure is reevaluated and the latter species is transferred from E. (Glossura) to E. (Glossurella). Here we also synonymize E.

Comunidades de machos de abelhas Euglossina (Hymenoptera: Apidae) em fragmentos florestais no Sul do Brasil [PDF]

Neotropical Entomology, 2004
O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar as comunidades de abelhas Euglossina em tres fragmentos de floresta semidecidua de tamanhos diferentes (8,5 ha, 86 ha e 2280 ha), na regiao de Londrina, norte do Parana. De novembro de 2001 a abril de 2002, machos atraidos as iscas-odores de eucaliptol, eugenol e vanilina foram amostrados em coletas mensais, com 2h

Biogeographic notes on rare species of Euglossina (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Apini) occurring in the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest [PDF]

Neotropical Entomology, 2004
The significance of specimens of rare species of Euglossina collected recently is discussed in terms of elucidating their biogeography and conservation status. Particularly, two new records are presented for the state of Minas Gerais, which considerably increase the known geographic range of the species they represent.

Ocorrência de Aglae caerulea Lepeletier & Serville (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Apini, Euglossina) no estado do Acre, Brasil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira De Zoologia, 2001
This note reports tor the first time the presence of Aglae caerulea Lepeletier & Serville, 1825 in the State of Acre, Western Amazonia. Three male bees were recorded in the "Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor" with traps baited with methyl cinnamate. A general description of the sampling sites is provided.

Orchid bee fauna (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossina) of Atlantic Forest fragments inside an urban area in southeastern Brazil. [PDF]

Neotropical Entomology, 2007
Male orchid bees were collected by chemical baiting in four forest fragments in parks of the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. One thousand three hundred and twenty-five males belonging to 14 species were captured within one year. The capture data were compared through correlation tests.

Taxonomic notes on Euglossa (Glossuropoda) with a key to the known species (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossina)

Zootaxa, 2009
Euglossa hugonis Moure, 1989, described from the municipality of Tabatinga, state of Amazonas, Brazil, and Euglossa juremae Moure, 1989 described from the municipality of Vigia, state of Pará, Brazil, were recently considered to be the same species and synonymized under the former nomen.

[Euglossina bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in an area with sandbanks in the northeast of the state of Maranhão, Brazil].

Neotropical entomology, 2009
The bees of subtribe Euglossina are an important component of neotropical fauna and have greater species diversity in tropical forests than in spits. They play an important role in the pollination of several plant species and are considered good indicators of environmental conditions.

Responses of Euglossine Bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossina) to an Edge-Forest Gradient in a Large Tabuleiro Forest Remnant in Eastern Brazil

Neotropical Entomology, 2017
Euglossine fauna of a large remnant of Brazilian Atlantic forest in eastern Brazil (Reserva Natural Vale) was assessed along an edge-forest gradient towards the interior of the fragment. To test the hypotheses that the structure of assemblages of orchid bees varies along this gradient, the following predictions were evaluated: (i) species richness is ...
