Recruitment communication in stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) [PDF]
Apidologie, 2004 The stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) have evolved sophisticated communication systems that allow foragers to recruit nestmates to good resources. Over the past 50 years, a growing body of research has shown that foragers can communicate three-dimensional resource location, uncovered several potential communication mechanisms, and ...

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species
Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 403-425, September 2025.We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

Distinct Intra‐ and Interspecific Foraging Patterns of Stingless Bee Species as a Conservation Tool
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.In this study, we examined the foraging patterns of three rescued stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas using melissopalynology and plant–pollinator network analysis. We found distinct floral foraging patterns both within and among three stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas, suggesting niche partitioning at multiple levels.
