Molecular identification of species of the Genus Euglossa Latreille (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Euglossini) [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2007 Euglossine bees interact with more than 60 plant families of the Neotropical region. The richness and abundance of these bees have been intensively studied in different ecosystems using the methodology of capturing males with chemical baits. Females are poorly known for most of the species and morphological characters for their taxonomic classification

Bionomics and sociological aspects of Euglossa fimbriata (Apidae, Euglossini)
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2009 The nesting biology and the social structure of Euglossa fimbriata were studied based on two original nests found on the campus of the University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. Nest 1 contained two inseminated females, 39 sealed cells, one cell being provisioned, and six old and empty cells.

Nonfloral sources of chemicals that attract male euglossine bees (Apidae: Euglossini) [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1993 We present chemical analysis of four rotten or fungus-infected logs that attracted fragrance-collecting male euglossine bees. Eight of the 10 volatile compounds detected have never been found in the fragrances of orchids pollinated by male euglossine bees.

Influence of landscape structure on Euglossini composition in open vegetation environments [PDF]
Biota Neotropica, 2017 Abstract The fauna of Euglossini bees is poorly known in savanna regions, making it difficult to understand how these bees use open vegetation environments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of landscape structure on species abundance and composition of Euglossini bees in naturally heterogeneous savanna landscapes.

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 ...

Brazilian Journal of Animal and Environmental Research, 2021 Introducción. Las abejas euglossinas son consideradas indicadoras de calidad de hábitat debido a su sensibilidad a los cambios ambientales, este grupo es fundamental para mantener la estabilidad de los ecosistemas debido a su función polinizadora. Sin embargo, los procesos de deforestación están afectando negativamente a sus poblaciones.
