Function of environment-derived male perfumes in orchid bees

Current Biology, 2023
Perfume making in male orchid bees is a unique behavior that has given rise to an entire pollination syndrome in the neotropics.1,2 Male orchid bees concoct and store species-specific perfume mixtures in specialized hind-leg pockets3 using volatiles acquired from multiple environmental sources, including orchid flowers.4,5 However, the function and the

Phylogenomics reveals within species diversification but incongruence with color phenotypes in widespread orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini)

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, 2022
Diurnal 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

ORCHID BEES DON'T NEED ORCHIDS: EVIDENCE FROM THE NATURALIZATION OF AN ORCHID BEE IN FLORIDA

Ecology, 2006
Almost 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.

Vertical distribution of orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) in an Amazon forest fragment

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2022
Euglossine 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.
