Diversity and Temporal Variation in the Orchid Bee Community (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of a Remnant of a Neotropical Seasonal Semi-deciduous Forest

open access: yesSociobiology, 2015
Multiple biotic and abiotic variables control the composition, diversity, and temporal fluctuations of insect communities. In particular, the assembly of bee communities is strongly influenced by climatic factors as well as variation in food resource ...

Large-range movements of neotropical orchid bees observed via radio telemetry.

open access: yesPLoS 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

open access: yesRevista 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

On egg eclosion and larval development in euglossine bees

open access: yesAmerican Museum Novitates, 2018
ABSTRACT This study explores egg eclosion and larval biology of orchid bees (Apidae: Euglossini) in light of existing knowledge from studies dealing with a group of tribes within the Apidae referred to as corbiculate bees. It reports that Eulaema (Apeulaema) polychroma (Mocsary) has five larval instars, and its first instar exists only briefly in that ...

Male Orchid Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) in Canopy and Understory of Amazon Várzea Floodplain Forest. I. Microclimatic, Seasonal and Faunal Aspects

open access: yesSociobiology, 2017
Várzea floodplain forests are important ecosystems of the Amazon basin. Our goal was to verify whether orchid bee males have stratum preference in a forest with a dynamic understory.

POLLINATION OF DALECHAMPIA MAGNOLIIFOLIA (EUPHORBIACEAE) BY MALE EUGLOSSINE BEES

open access: yesAmerican 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.

Urban Landscape Influence Orchid Bee Diversity in a Tropical Megacity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1153-1163, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing urbanization has affected pollinator communities, such as Euglossini bees, which play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity through the pollination of numerous plants. However, the impact of different levels of urbanization on the diversity of these bees is still not fully understood, especially in large tropical urban ...

Population dynamics of Euglossinae bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in an early second-growth forest of Cajual Island, in the State of Maranhão, Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
A study was conducted in an early second-growth forest aiming at knowing the richness, relative abundance, seasonal distribution, and hourly frequency of euglossine bees, and their association with scent baits.
