A New Species of Large Carpenter Bee,Xylocopa(Hymenoptera: Apidae), from Argentina [PDF]
Entomological News, 2010 ABSTRACT: The new species Xylocopa (Neoxylocopa) atamisquensis is described and illustrated from adult female and male specimens. We designate Predio Isla Verde (28°38′54″S, 64°04′58″W; 120 m), Department Atamisqui in south-central Santiago del Estero province, Argentina, as the type locality. The closest species are X. (N.) mendozana and X.

Large fitness benefits of social nesting in a small carpenter bee
Behavioral Ecology, 2023 Abstract Facultatively social insects are an optimal model group for the study of the emergence of cooperation between individuals. Factors influencing the fitness benefits of social nesting are still debated. Nonreproductive subordinates can benefit from indirect fitness benefits due to increasing reproductive success of related ...

Bionomics of the Large Carpenter Bees of the Genus Xylocopa
Annual Review of Entomology, 1989 The large carpenter bees of the genus Xylocopa include more than 730 species, which are grouped into 48 subgenera (52). As their name implies, they include some of the largest bees, often exceeding 3 cm in length. Females of most species are conspicuous in their black or blue coloration, which may be variegated with lighter-colored pubescence.

Thermoregulation in the large carpenter bee Xylocopa frontalis in the face of climate change in the Neotropics [PDF]
Apidologie, 2020 There is evidence that climate change may worsen the ecological conditions needed by many pollinator species for their survival; however, little is known about how the rise in ambient temperature might affect the survival of large bee species in tropical regions of the planet.

First Reported Case of Fatal Stinging by the Large Carpenter Bee Xylocopa tranquebarica [PDF]
Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2016 In the order Hymenoptera, bees, hornets, and wasps are well-known stinging insects whose envenoming can be fatal. Their stinging attacks are common in rural and forested areas of Sri Lanka. However, fatal stinging by the large-bodied carpenter bees is unreported.

Correlated evolution of mating behaviour and morphology in large carpenter bees (Xylocopa) [PDF]
Apidologie, 2008 Carpenter bees (Xylocopa) display variation in mating strategies. In several subgenera males defend territories that contain resources for females. In other subgenera males defend a small non-resource territory. Here, we investigate the correlation between three morphological traits and mating strategy. We found associations between mating strategy and

Large Carpenter Bees as Agricultural Pollinators
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2010 Large carpenter bees (genus Xylocopa) are wood-nesting generalist pollinators of broad geographical distribution that exhibit varying levels of sociality. Their foraging is characterized by a wide range of food plants, long season of activity, tolerance of high temperatures, and activity under low illumination levels.
