Macroevolution of perfume signalling in orchid bees
Ecology Letters, 2016 AbstractTheory predicts that both stabilising selection and diversifying selection jointly contribute to the evolution of sexual signalling traits by (1) maintaining the integrity of communication signals within species and (2) promoting the diversification of traits among lineages.

ORCHID BEES DON'T NEED ORCHIDS: EVIDENCE FROM THE NATURALIZATION OF AN ORCHID BEE IN FLORIDA
Ecology, 2006Almost 200 species of orchid bees are the exclusive pollinators of nearly 700 specialized orchids in the neotropics. This well-known mutualism involves orchids, called perfume orchids, which produce species-specific blends of floral fragrances, and male orchid bees, which collect and use these fragrance compounds during their courtship.

Insect Systematics and Diversity, 2023
Coloration is an important phenotypic trait for taxonomic studies and has been widely used for identifying insect species and populations. However, coloration can be a poor diagnostic character for insect species that exhibit high polymorphism in this ...

Spectral sensitivities of the orchid bee Euglossa dilemma
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2022Diurnal pollinators often rely on color cues to make decisions when visiting flowers. Orchid bees are major tropical pollinators, with most studies of their pollination behavior to date focusing on scent collection and chemical ecology. The objective of this study was to measure their spectral sensitivities to preliminarily characterize color vision in

Vertical distribution of orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) in an Amazon forest fragment
Journal of Apicultural Research, 2022Euglossine bees are key pollinators of various plant species in the Neotropical region. Therefore, studying euglossine bee ecology is important for the development of conservation strategies.
