Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT This review seeks a deeper functional understanding of wild bee microbiomes by focusing on a tribe of bees where natural history and behavioral ecology are well known but investigations of microbiology are just beginning. Opportunities to improve our future knowledge of pathogens to insect pollinators are explored—which have broad ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 13, July 2025.ABSTRACT Stingless bees in the genus Tetragonula are social insects with a fully sterile worker caste, and are therefore well‐placed to provide insights into the genomic changes associated with ‘superorganismal’ life histories. Here we assemble the genome of Tetragonula carbonaria and characterise the population structure and divergence of both T ...

Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, 2019 This article refers to the biology and ecology of stingless bees (Meliponini), living in tropical and subtropical areas. Similar to honey bees (Apis mellifera), stingless bees (Meliponini) belong to the category of proper social insects and are at the ...

Phenotypic, Floristic, and Anthropogenic Drivers of the Pollen Niche of Amazonian Stingless Bees
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.The pollen diversity and composition collected by Amazonian stingless bees depend on their body mass, tree composition, and urbanization. Further, bees have been collecting fewer pollen types since the 1970s. ABSTRACT Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) are major pollinators in the tropics, supporting key ecosystem services.

Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria
New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1897-1910, March 2025.Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...
