Microbial Evolution in Allodapine Bees: Perspectives From Trophallactic, Socially Plastic Pollinators. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT This review seeks a deeper functional understanding of wild bee microbiomes by focusing on a tribe of bees where natural history and behavioral ecology are well known but investigations of microbiology are just beginning. Opportunities to improve our future knowledge of pathogens to insect pollinators are explored—which have broad ...

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 ...

24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

First Case of Gynandromorphism in the Orchid-Bee Eulaema meriana (Olivier) (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Sociobiology, 2021 The discovery of the first case of gynandromorphism in Eulaema meriana (Olivier) is described and illustrated. A specimen from Los Ríos, western Ecuador, discovered in the Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (MECN) collection, exhibits mostly male ...

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.

Gyne and drone production in bombus atratus (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]
, 2017 For over a decade, our research group has studied the biology of the native bumblebee, Bombus atratus, to investigate the feasibility of using it to pollinate crops such as tomato, strawberry, blackberry and peppers.

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.
