Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Forest edges buffer effects of agricultural management on bee–plant interaction networks

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural management effects: Organic and conventional crop margins host similar bee and plant species, but network structure differs: organic farms exhibit higher interaction diversity, conventional farms higher connectance. Role of forest edges: Native forest edges stabilize bee–plant networks by providing continuous floral resources and suitable ...

A Scientific Note on a Stingless Bee Hive Model for Ecological and Behavioral Studies and for Environmental Education

Sociobiology, 2019
Stingless bees (Apidae; Meliponini) occupy a great diversity of habitats in tropical and subtropical regions. They are eusocial and live in sessile colonies. Most meliponini species build nests in pre-existing cavities, such as tree hollows and stingless

Social bees can enhance the persistence of plant–bee interactions during seasonal changes in seasonally dry tropical forests

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Social bees, especially Meliponini, formed a persistent core that maintained plant–bee interactions across both dry and green seasons in the Caatinga. Persistence was not linked to broader diets; social bees used fewer plant species, despite availability, indicating selective tracking of temporally concentrated floral resources.

A dual pollination strategy combining perfume attraction and food deception in Galeandra blanchetii E.S. Rand (Orchidaceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Galeandra blanchetii exhibits a dual‐attraction strategy: male euglossine bees are lured by floral scents as a resource, while both sexes are deceived by non‐existent nectar. Pollination only occurs when bees enter the spur to search for nectar, highlighting an evolutionary transition towards the perfume flower syndrome in Catasetinae.

Onde os mais Adaptados Permanecem: Comunidade de Abelhas sem Ferrão (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Meliponini) em Áreas Urbanas do Município de Ubá, Minas Gerais, Brasil

EntomoBrasilis, 2016
A urbanização tem causado a fragmentação de vários ambientes naturais, levando à perda de muitos processos ecológicos como a polinização, realizada principalmente por abelhas, em especial as espécies de Meliponini, que tem reduzido drasticamente as suas ...

Structural Colour in Bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) Is Linked to Climate and Latitude

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Environmental drivers frequently predict global patterns of colour diversity, but whether such patterns depend on the underlying colour mechanisms—pigments or microscopic structures—has scarcely been considered. Structural colour may have different functional properties that result in different associations with environmental variables ...
