Forest habitats and plant communities strongly predicts Megachilidae bee biodiversity [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Megachilidae is one of the United States’ most diverse bee families, with 667 described species in 19 genera. Unlike other bee families, which are primarily ground nesters, most megachilid bees require biotic cavities for nesting (i.e., wood, pithy stems,

Leafcutting Bees, Megachilidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Megachilinae) [PDF]
EDIS, 2005 Leafcutting bees are important native pollinators of North America. They use cut leaves to construct nests in cavities (mostly in rotting wood). They create multiple cells in the nest, each with a single larva and pollen stored for the larvae to eat ...

A cytochrome P450 insecticide detoxification mechanism is not conserved across the Megachilidae family of bees [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsRecent work has demonstrated that many bee species have specific cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) that can efficiently detoxify certain insecticides. The presence of these P450s, belonging or closely related to the CYP9Q subfamily (CYP9Q‐related), is ...

Phylogeny and biogeography of bees of the tribe Osmiini (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) [PDF]
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2008 The Osmiini (Megachilidae) constitute a taxonomically and biologically diverse tribe of bees. To resolve their generic and suprageneric relationships, we inferred a phylogeny based on three nuclear genes (Elongation factor 1-alpha, LW-rhodopsin and CAD) applying both parsimony and Bayesian methods.

A review of the anthidiine bees (Apoidea, Megachilidae) in Thailand [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 Bees of the tribe Anthidiini (Apoidea: Megachilidae) are notable pollinators consisting of resin bees, wool-carder bees, and cleptoparasitic bees. Twelve anthidiine species were historically reported in Thailand, though the taxonomic information of the group was needed revising.

The Invasion ofMegachile policaris(Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) to Hawai‘i [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2021 AbstractIslands are insular environments that are negatively impacted by invasive species. In Hawai‘i, at least 21 non-native bees have been documented to date, joining the diversity of >9,000 non-native and invasive species to the archipelago. The goal of this study is to describe the persistence, genetic diversity, and natural history of the ...

New records of megachilid bees (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) for Colombia
Revista Peruana de Biología, 2022 The bee family Megachilidae consists of solitary species, some of which are important pollinators of cultivated plants. Although literature records indicate the existence of about 50 species of 10 genera of megachilid bees in Colombia, taxonomic studies are lacking and thus limited information is available on their identity as well as their ...
