Can scalable design of wings for flapping wing micro air vehicle be inspired by natural flyers? [PDF]

, 2018
Lift production is constantly a great challenge for flapping wing micro air vehicles (MAVs). Designing a workable wing, therefore, plays an essential role. Dimensional analysis is an effective and valuable tool in studying the biomechanics of flyers.

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 ...

Trapline foraging by bumble bees: VI. Behavioral alterations under speed–accuracy trade-offs [PDF]

, 2013
Trapline foraging (repeated sequential visits to a series of feeding locations) has often been observed in animals collecting floral resources. Past experiments have shown that bumble bees cannot always develop accurate (i.e., repeatable) traplines to a ...

Floral Handedness in Mormodes Orchids: Revisiting Charles Darwin's Observations

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
In this study, we scrutinized floral enantiostyly in Mormodes orchids, a unique trait within Orchidaceae first observed by Charles Darwin. We hypothesize how intricate column twisting drives strategic pollinarium placement onto opposite sides of the thorax of male euglossine bees, enhancing cross‐pollination.

Evidence of separate karyotype evolutionary pathway in Euglossa orchid bees by cytogenetic analyses

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2013
Euglossini are solitary bees considered important pollinators of many orchid species. Information regarding chromosome organization is available for only a small number of species in this group.

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.

Solitary oil‐collecting bee in cities: Habitat suitability and lack of population structuring in Centris analis

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 982-996, November 2025.
Lack of genetic population structure in urban populations of Centris analis. Low morphological differentiation across four phytogeographical regions in Brazil. Monogyny‐monandry mating system in C. analis. Abstract The decline of insect populations worldwide has raised concerns about the negative impact on ecosystem services, particularly pollination ...
