Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Despite the importance of understanding mite–bee interactions, standardized and noninvasive methods for sampling mite communities in stingless bee hives remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate a novel, low‐cost sampling technique using a custom‐built suction device, the Portable Mite Aspirator (PMA), for collecting mites from hives of ...

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2004 We examined the spatial implications of maximum flight distance for several species of stingless bees. Data suggested that maximum flight distance in Meliponini is a function of body size, especially generalized wing size, which can be estimated through ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 957-967, August 2026.In the face of environmental contamination to copper, mainly resulting from frequent copper‐based fungicide applications, it is crucial to understand the side effects of these pesticides on non‐target organisms to improve pest management. Trichogramma cordubensis, used as a biological control agent against grape berry moths in vineyards, shows strongly

Tropical Bee Assemblage Diversity Decreases With Elevation While Body Size Increases
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.Photos of bee specimens collected in the Colombian Andes across a nearly 3000 m elevational cline. They are arranged to illustrate both the decline in richness with elevation and the increase in community average body size with elevation. ABSTRACT Elevation gradients are powerful drivers of changes in species composition, richness, and functional ...

Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) of the Bela Vista Biological Refuge, Foz do Iguaçu, PR. [PDF]
We present an inventory based on 17 months of sampling at a strategic site within the Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest ecoregion, the largest among the regions of the Atlantic Forest. Including areas of 30-year-old forest restoration, our study qualitatively

No evidence for missed mutualists in an invasive plant with the buzz pollination syndrome
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The missed mutualist hypothesis predicts that the absence of mutualistic partners poses a barrier to introduced species becoming invasive. Yet, some alien plants thrive despite potential dependence on certain pollinators. For example, buzz‐pollinated plants typically have specialist floral morphologies and benefit from buzz pollinator behavior
