Life history induces markedly divergent insect responses to habitat loss. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThis study pioneers the use of deep learning to rapidly assess over 22,000 Amazonian insects, revealing life history‐dependent winners and losers from forest loss. It shows that terrestrial insects decline while aquatic insects thrive, with body size influencing dispersal, offering key insights for biodiversity conservation in tropical fragmented ...

An elevational gradient in floral traits and pollinator assemblages in the Neotropical species Costus guanaiensis var. tarmicus in Peru. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 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 ...

Plant Biol (Stuttg)Human‐invisible but bee‐visible UV patterns in flowers aid pollination by signalling to pollinators and protecting vulnerable DNA in pollen. ABSTRACT Ultraviolet light shining on flowers has various effects. In this review we assess functions of UV pigments and UV reflection patterns in flowers, including visual signalling by reflectance, fluorescence,

Effects of landscape, resource use, and body size on genetic structure in bee populations. [PDF]
Ecol EvolQuantifying 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.

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022 Male euglossine bees (Euglossine: Apidae) pollinate flowers of as many as 1,000 Neotropical plant species and there is evidence that blooming in these plants is synchronized with the seasonality of euglossine pollinators.

Checklist of orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of “Lago do Silêncio” Area, Boca do Acre, Amazonas, Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2011 This study presents a list of euglossine-bee species collected in the Lago do Silêncio region, municipality of Boca do Acre, in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, southwestern Amazonia. Euglossine males were attracted to odoriferous baits on December 3 and

Untangling the Complexity of Climate Change Effects on Plant Reproductive Traits and Pollinators: A Systematic Global Synthesis. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolClimate change is shifting flowering and animal activity times across ecosystems, potentially increasing the risk of plant–pollinator mismatches. Flower production and plant reproductive success showed varied responses to climate change depending on the ecosystem, whereas nectar rewards declined and floral scents increased or changed under warming and ...

Sociobiology, 2014 We describe and discuss the composition, abundance and diversity of euglossine in three vegetation types of the Atlantic Forest (Lowland Seasonal Semideciduous, Submontane Seasonal and Dense Montane Ombrophilous Forest) in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil ...

Conservation Value and Permeability of Neotropical Oil Palm Landscapes for Orchid Bees [PDF]
, 2013 The proliferation of oil palm plantations has led to dramatic changes in tropical landscapes across the globe. However, relatively little is known about the effects of oil palm expansion on biodiversity, especially in key ecosystem-service providing ...
