Influence of social lifestyles on host–microbe symbioses in the bees [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Microbiomes are increasingly recognised as critical for the health of an organism. In eusocial insect societies, frequent social interactions allow for high‐fidelity transmission of microbes across generations, leading to closer host–microbe coevolution.

Odor Compound Detection in Male Euglossine Bees [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2018 Male euglossine bees collect fragrances from various sources, which they store and use for as yet unknown purposes. They are attracted, often specifically, to single odor compounds and blends thereof. We used gas chromatography with electroantennographic

Neotropical bee microbiomes point to a fragmented social core and strong species-level effects [PDF]
Microbiome, 2023 Background Individuals that band together create new ecological opportunities for microorganisms. In vertical transmission, theory predicts a conserved microbiota within lineages, especially social bees. Bees exhibit solitary to social behavior among and/

A database and synthesis of euglossine bee assemblages collected at fragrance baits [PDF]
Apidologie, 2020 Euglossine bees are an ecologically important group, which due to their diverse resource needs act as pollinators of many neotropical plants. Male euglossines collect fragrant compounds used in mating displays from diverse sources, including the flowers ...
