Combining Distribution Models of Plants and Their Mutualists to Map Gaps in the Knowledge of Ecological Interactions

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The distribution of species relying on mutualistic partners for reproduction can be constrained by their partners' distribution. Nonetheless, biotic interactions are often overlooked when estimating the distributions of species (e.g., pollinators of a given plant and the proportion of them with their distribution modelled). In the Tropics,

Evolution of Seed Dispersal Modes in the Orchidaceae: Has the Vanilla Mystery Been Solved?

Horticulturae, 2023
Orchid seeds are predominantly wind-dispersed, often developed within dry, dehiscent fruits that typically release millions of dust-like seeds into the air.

Diversity and community composition of euglossine bee assemblages (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in western Amazonia [PDF]

, 2018
Tropical forests are known for their diverse insect fauna. We aimed to determine the effect and relative importance of latitude, elevation and climatic factors affecting species richness and turnover in euglossine bee assemblages along a gradient of 18 ...

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 403-425, September 2025.
We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

The Interplay Between Thematic Resolution, Forest Cover, and Heterogeneity for Explaining Euglossini Bees Community in an Agricultural Landscape

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Human activities have modified the landscape composition. The changes in the landscape structure can be evaluated by metrics, which are influenced, among other factors, by the number of cover classes used for the landscape classification (thematic ...

Reproductive Ecology of Euglossine Bee-pollinated Orchid Catasetum Integerrimum Hook (Ochidaceae) [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Catasetum is a dimorphic and dioecious genus of orchids with a pollinaria release mechanism triggered by pollinator visitation. The reproductive ecology of Catasetum integerrimum Hook (Orchidaceae) was characterized in Central Veracruz, Mexico.

Spiroacetals and the rise of Campanula specialists: Receptor sensitivity to host‐specific floral scents

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1786-1798, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Campanula flowers (Campanulaceae) are visited by generalist and specialist bees of different families. While generalists rely on common volatiles within the floral scent of Campanula, specialist Megachilidae mainly use unusual spiroacetals for host flower recognition ...

Hair‐based minimally invasive barcoding of bumblebees

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 127-139, March 2025.
We investigated a minimally invasive sampling method for barcoding bumblebees based on hair. The method was tested with commercially reared specimens, older collection material and field‐caught animals. Barcoding success depends on sample origin—commercially reared and frozen collection samples yielded the best results. Wild‐caught animals' species (88%

On egg eclosion and larval development in euglossine bees

American 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 ...
