The orchid-bee fauna (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of ‘Reserva Biológica de Una’, a hotspot in the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia, eastern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The orchid-bee fauna of ‘Reserva Biológica de Una’ (REBIO Una), one of the largest Atlantic Forest remnants in southern Bahia, eastern Brazil, was surveyed for the first time. Baits with sixteen different scents were used to attract males of orchid bees.

Non-floral scent sources of orchid bees [PDF]

Observamos abejas euglosinas macho recolectando fragancias en 21 fuentes no florales en Centro y Sudamérica, lo que refuerza la hipótesis que estas fuentes desempeñan un papel importante en la biología de los perfumes de las abejas euglosinas. Un árbol de \(\it Protium\) proporcionó más del 50% de los perfumes para \(\textit {Eufriesea corusca}\) y fue

Orchid bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) community from a gallery forest in the Brazilian Cerrado

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The orchid bees are a very important group of pollinators distributed in the Neotropics. Although a lot of studies concerning male euglossine bees have been done in this region, few works have so far been carried out in the Cerrado biome. This manuscript
