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,

Multifemale nests and social behavior in Euglossa melanotricha (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossini) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2012 The nesting biology and social behavior of the euglossine bee species Euglossa melanotricha was analyzed based on the monitoring of eight nests found in man-made cavities and transferred to observation boxes. Euglossa melanotricha females usually construct their nests in cavities in the ground, in buildings, or in mounds.

Diversidade de Euglossini (Hymenoptera: Apidae) em áreas de Cerrado do Triângulo Mineiro, MG.
Bioscience Journal, 2007 Os Euglossini são abelhas típicas de matas tropicais úmidas, mas poucos estudos têm sido feitos estimando parâmetros ecológicos desse grupo em outras fitofisionomias.

Mountain colonization precedes shifts away from bee pollination in Melastomataceae
New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 3, Page 1474-1492, August 2025.Summary Shifts among different groups of pollinators are central in the evolution of flowering plants, yet mechanisms underlying pollinator shifts remain unclear. Environment‐induced reduction in pollinator availability and hence efficiency may destabilize ancestral plant–pollinator interactions and trigger shifts to new, more efficient pollinators ...

Sociobiology, 2017 Várzea floodplain forests are important ecosystems of the Amazon basin. Our goal was to verify whether orchid bee males have stratum preference in a forest with a dynamic understory.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Diversity and abundance of orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Euglossini) in a tropical rainforest succession [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2009 Euglossine bee males are easily lured to chemical baits imitating natural fragrances gathered by bees, providing a widely applied measure for estimating the diversity and abundance of euglossines. In here, I report the composition of euglossine bees in three lowland rainforest habitats of Peru, a primary old forest, a reforested and managed forest, and

Las abejas de las orquídeas de Guatemala (Apidae: Euglossini)
, 2023 This work is the first published synthesis about the orchid bees (Apidae: Euglossini) for Guatemala. We integrated previous data with our new collecting data and present an annotated list of 35 species, three of which are new country records for Guatemala: Eufriesea engeli Gonzalez & Griswold, 2017, Euglossa allosticta Moure, 1969, and Euglossa ...

Species of Euglossa of the analis group in the Atlantic forest (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2012 The species of Euglossa Latreille, 1802 of the analis group inhabiting the Brazilian Atlantic forest are revised and identification keys for males and females are provided. Five species are recognized in the Atlantic forest: Euglossa cognata Moure, 1970,

Tree traits are a stronger predictor of bee traits and species richness than taxonomic diversity
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 281-292, January 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits help to understand biological diversity and the mechanism by which ecological communities are structured and how they respond to the environment. For example, the high tree species diversity within tropical forests can be grouped into a few functional ...
