Catching on to concatenation : evidence for prepollination intrasexual selection in plants [PDF]
, 2013 [from introduction] Darwin (1871) proposed the mechanism of sexual selection to explain the extreme traits, secondary sex characters, seen primarily in male animals for either display or competition.

Revisiting ecological specialization: the case of plant–frugivore interactions
Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 3, March 2025.Understanding the extent to which organisms exhibit specialization when interacting with or relying on distinct aspects of their biotic and abiotic environment is a central tenet in ecology and evolution. Despite the relevance of the concept and theoretical advances, specialization has and continues to be ambiguously defined. Here we review the uses of

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 ...

Aerial litter mimicry: A novel form of floral deception mediated by a monoterpene synthase
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 302-321, February 2025.We report the first pollination system in which a flower imitates aerial litter, which refers to the arboreal plant litter in a forest. Our findings demonstrated that Meiogyne heteropetala flower fooled the aerial litter specialist Loberus sharpi by mimicking aerial litter in size, colour and odour.

Seasonal changes in odour preferences by male euglossine bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and their ecological implications [PDF]
, 2018 Orchid bees are an important group of specialized insect pollinators in the Neotropics. Male orchid bees are attracted by a wide range of aromatic substances often produced by flowers.

Non‐floral scent sources of orchid bees: Observations and significance
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.We observed male euglossines collecting scent at 21 different non‐floral sources in Central and South America, strengthening the view that these sources play a central role in euglossine perfume biology. A Protium tree provided over 50% of the perfumes for Eufriesea corusca and was repeatedly revisited.

Pollination of Two Species of Dalechampia (Euphorbiaceae) in Mexico by Euglossine Bees
Biotropica, 1979 The large genus Dalechampia, including over 100 species of great vegetative diversity, has a basically uniform pseudanthial inflorescence. Investigation of two sympatric species in Mexico has shown considerable divergence in pollination adaptations. In D.
