Pollinator efficiency, rather than bee decline, explains a shift to hummingbird pollination in tropical montane forests

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, August 2026.
Hummingbird pollination is a hallmark of American plant diversity and has long been thought to evolve in tropical mountains due to declining bee activity. Using sister species of Costus specialized on bees (C. kuntzei) and hummingbirds (C. wilsonii), we show that this shift is not driven by reduced bee visitation with elevation, but by greater ...

Combining Distribution Models of Plants and Their Mutualists to Map Gaps in the Knowledge of Ecological Interactions

open access: yesDiversity 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,

Exaerete guaykuru Anjos-Silva and Rebelo, new species

open access: yes, 2006
Exaerete guaykuru Anjos­Silva and Rebêlo, new species Figs. 1, 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 23 Diagnosis: dorsally, the posterior margin of the mesoscutellum is linear and depressed medially forming an extended median carina. In posterior view, the mesoscutellum with two sub lateral tubercles is unique, most similar to that of E. trochanterica.

Orchid bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) community from a gallery forest in the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesRevista 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

Temporal variation in the abundance of Orchid Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in a Neotropical Hygrophilous Forest

open access: yesSociobiology, 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 bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in the coastal forests of southern Brazil: diversity, efficiency of sampling methods and comparison with other Atlantic forest surveys

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2011
Surveys of orchid bees at the Brazilian Atlantic forest have been restricted to a few regions, making difficult to understand latitudinal patterns of distribution and diversity of these bees.
