Interaction between oil-collecting bees and seven species of Plantaginaceae [PDF]
Flora: Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants, 2013 Abstract Oil-bee/oil-flower mutualism evolved through multiple gains and losses of the ability to produce floral oil in plants and to collect it in bees. Around 2000 plant species are known to produce floral oils that are collected by roughly 450 bee species, which use them for the construction of nests and for the larval food.

Floral oil collection by male Tetrapedia bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Tetrapediini) [PDF]
Apidologie, 2011 Several groups of solitary bees, known as oil-collecting bees, gather lipids from flowers that offer them as their main reward to pollinators. In the Neotropical region, oil-collecting bees belong to the tribes Centridini, Tapinotaspidini, and Tetrapediini (Apidae: Apinae). The floral oils collected by females of these groups are used as larval food or

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2019 Here we provide descriptions of gynandromorphs of two species oil-collecting bees: Lophopedia nigrispinis and Epicharis iheringii, both with partial bilateral phenotypic asymmetry.

Reproductive behavior of the oil-collecting bee Epicharis dejeanii (Apidae: Centridini) [PDF]
Apidologie, 2020 In solitary bees, monandry is common in several species. Post-copulation strategies exerted by males to prevent females from mating with other males are known and vary between species. We studied a population of Epicharis dejeanii(Centridini) analyzing the reproductive aspects.

The body size of the oil-collecting bee Tetrapedia diversipes (Apidae) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2015 The body size of bees can affect their fitness in many ways. There is an indirect relationship between the size of the mother and the size of her progeny. This is so because large mothers use larger nests and brood cells and have higher foraging capacity than small mothers, and consequently large mothers supply a larger amount of food to their larvae ...

Diapause in a tropical oil-collecting bee: molecular basis unveiled by RNA-Seq [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2018 Diapause is a natural phenomenon characterized by an arrest in development that ensures the survival of organisms under extreme environmental conditions. The process has been well documented in arthropods. However, its molecular basis has been mainly studied in species from temperate zones, leaving a knowledge gap of this phenomenon in tropical species.

Revision of the oil-collecting bees of the genus Chalepogenus Holmberg (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Tapinotaspidini) [PDF]
Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, 1999 Bee pollen gathering from a few related plant species is a specialisation known as oligolecty. Although it is an extended phenomenon, it has been scarcely explored in oil-collecting bees. At the geographic level, there is little information about oligolecty persistence and also about phenotypic variation of bees related with abiotic factors. We studied
