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 ...

Non‐floral scent sources of orchid bees: Observations and significance
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.We observed male euglossines collecting scent at 21 different non‐floral sources in Central and South America, strengthening the view that these sources play a central role in euglossine perfume biology. A Protium tree provided over 50% of the perfumes for Eufriesea corusca and was repeatedly revisited.

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,

Time management and nectar flow: flower handling and suction feeding in long-proboscid flies (Nemestrinidae: Prosoeca) [PDF]
, 2013 A well-developed suction pump in the head represents an important adaptation for nectar-feeding insects, such as Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and Diptera.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 23, December 2024.ABSTRACT Hymenopteran queens are collectively highly fecund, often long‐lived individuals that undergo dramatic physiological changes after they mate and establish a nest. However, the degree to which these changes are conserved among species with different life histories is not well‐defined.

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 ...

How does climate change impact social bees and bee sociality?
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 11, Page 1610-1621, November 2024.Climate change is rapidly reorganizing the distributions and expression of social phenotypes in bees. Because sociality mediates climate responses, and climate drives social evolution, understanding these linkages between sociality and climate is crucial for predicting vulnerability and resilience across bee taxa. Abstract Climatic factors are known to
