Orchid Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) in Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest (Caatinga) in Brazil
Sociobiology, 2018 Euglossini bees are important Neotropical pollinators, but there is a lack in the knowledge about this fauna in dry tropical environments. The aims of this study were to evaluate the richness and abundance of euglossine bees in two fragments of ...

Composition of Orchid Scents Attracting Euglossine Bees
Botanica Acta, 1991 AbstractFragrance composition of flowers from 101 plant species, especially orchids, were analyzed. Several compounds, including allo‐aromadendrene, β‐bourbonene, α‐copaene, α‐cubebene, 1,2‐dimethoxybenzene, 1,3,5‐trimethoxybenzene, epoxygeranyl acetate, 7,11‐epoxymegastigma‐5(6)‐en‐9‐one, two γ‐lactones, germacradienol, germacrene D, humulene, methoxy‐

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 ...

Large-range movements of neotropical orchid bees observed via radio telemetry.
PLoS ONE, 2010 Neotropical orchid bees (Euglossini) are often cited as classic examples of trapline-foragers with potentially extensive foraging ranges. If long-distance movements are habitual, rare plants in widely scattered locations may benefit from euglossine ...

Orchid bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) community from a gallery forest in the Brazilian Cerrado
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012 The orchid bees are a very important group of pollinators distributed in the Neotropics. Although a lot of studies concerning male euglossine bees have been done in this region, few works have so far been carried out in the Cerrado biome. This manuscript

POLLINATION OF DALECHAMPIA MAGNOLIIFOLIA (EUPHORBIACEAE) BY MALE EUGLOSSINE BEES
American Journal of Botany, 1989 Flowers of Dalechampia magnoliifolia in eastern Peru were pollinated primarily by male Eulaema meriana and E. cingulata, which collected fragrance from the secretory gland borne in the staminate cymule. The fragrance contains carvone oxide, benzyl acetate, limonene, α‐pinene, myrcine, β‐pinene/camphene, and carvone. Trigona cf.
