Sociobiology, 2017 Variations in abundance and species richness among communities are often determined by interactions between biotic and abiotic factors. However, for communities composed of species that share a common specialization (such as similar foraging adaptations)

Oil-collecting bee–flower interaction network: do bee size and anther type influence the use of pollen sources? [PDF]
Apidologie, 2014 Pollination is an ecosystem service sustained by a differentiated use of resources among sympatric species. The bee size can influence the similarity in the use of resources, and poricidal anthers limit the access to pollen. Therefore, we evaluated the influence of body size and the anther type of pollen sources in Centridini–flower interaction network.

Gut microbiota variation of a tropical oil-collecting bee species far exceeds that of the honeybee
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionInterest for bee microbiota has recently been rising, alleviating the gap in knowledge in regard to drivers of solitary bee gut microbiota. However, no study has addressed the microbial acquisition routes of tropical solitary bees. For both social and solitary bees, the gut microbiota has several essential roles such as food processing and ...
