Expanded range of eight orchid bee species (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossini) in Costa Rica [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022 The Monteverde region of Costa Rica is a hotspot of endemism and biodiversity. The region is, however, disturbed by human activities such as agriculture and urbanisation.

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/

Optimizing survey effort for Euglossine bees in tropical forests
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Optimizing research efforts for biodiversity monitoring is crucial to conservation projects and actions to increase our ability to inform conservation priorities. However, it requires the financial and human capacity.

Plant Resource Use and Pattern of Usage by the Naturalized Orchid Bee (Euglossa dilemma: Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Florida [PDF]
Insects, 2023 The Neotropical orchid bee Euglossa dilemma was found to be naturalized in southern Florida in 2003, and, by 2022, it had colonized the southern half of Florida.

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.

Euglossine Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of Buriticupu, Amazonia of Maranhão, Brazil1 [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 1999 Male euglossine bees attracted to cineole, vanillin, methyl salicylate, eugenol and benzyl benzoate, were collected from October 1995 to September 1996, twice a month, between 06.00 and 12.00 hours, at the Companhia Vale do Rio Doce Forest Reserve ...

POLLINATION BY EUGLOSSINE BEES [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1968 The relationships between some orchid flowers and male euglossine bees were first observed in Darwin's time (Criiger, 1865), but the peculiarities of these interactions have been recognized only within the last decade. Our knowledge of the relationships has increased greatly in recent years, especially through the efforts of Dodson (Dodson and Frymire,

Nonfloral sources of chemicals that attract male euglossine bees (Apidae: Euglossini) [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1993 We present chemical analysis of four rotten or fungus-infected logs that attracted fragrance-collecting male euglossine bees. Eight of the 10 volatile compounds detected have never been found in the fragrances of orchids pollinated by male euglossine bees.

Nectar-foraging behavior of Euglossine bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in urban areas [PDF]
Apidologie, 2008 Euglossine bees have been described as long-distance pollinators because of their great flight capacities although flight capacity is not necessarily correlated to home range. Here we report the nectar-foraging behavior of two euglossine species (Euglossa cordata and Eulaema nigrita) in urban areas and the predictive power of wing wear as an age ...
