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.

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 ...

Abrupt decrease in the diversity of Euglossini bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in a montane rainforest
Journal of Apicultural Research, 2019 Euglossini bees are more diverse in tropical and subtropical rainforests in the Neotropics and their distribution may have a strong influence of altitude. These bees are considered important pollinators being able to cross long distances in continuous forests.

Sociobiology, 2014 Although bees are important pollinators in several ecosystems around the world, studies on bee diversity in hygrophilous forests are scarce. This type of vegetation is restricted to permanently wet soils and, therefore, has particular floristic ...

Orchid bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) community from a gallery forest in the Brazilian Cerrado
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012 The orchid bees are a very important group of pollinators distributed in the Neotropics. Although a lot of studies concerning male euglossine bees have been done in this region, few works have so far been carried out in the Cerrado biome. This manuscript
