The Neotropical orchid genus Sarcoglottis comprises ~40 species, which emit strong floral scents, presumably involved in pollinator attraction. Information on basic aspects of its natural history is scant, with the few studies available so far pointing ...

Genetic diversity and population structure of orchid bees from the Brazilian savanna
Journal of Apicultural Research, 2021Based on microsatellite markers and non-lethal sampling of orchid bee males, we assessed the genetic diversity and population structure of three species, Euglossa pleosticta, Euglossa imperialis, and Eulaema nigrita, collected from forest remnants in the

Analyze the Species Richness and Abundance of Orchid Bees in Eastern Ghats Rainforests
Journal of Advances in Science and TechnologyThis is one way in which the biodiversity of the Amazon is priceless. Geography, climate, and biotic interactions have always played a role in shaping evolutionary pathways, and these factors continue to do so now.

Island Biogeography Theory and the Island Rule in Orchid Bees in Panama
Journal of BiogeographyThe study of the theory of island biogeographic (TIB) has focused mainly on plants and vertebrates, with support for the predictions that species richness decreases with distance from the mainland and increases with island size.

Scaling of Nectar Foraging in Orchid Bees
The American Naturalist, 2007Morphology influences the rate at which foraging bees visit nectar flowers, the quantity of nectar they must consume to fuel their activities, and, consequently, the profitability of flower species. Because feeding time is a major determinant of visitation rate, I used a biomechanical model to examine how energy intake rate (E) varies with sucrose ...

Body size and abundance patterns of male orchid bees in a fragmented Neotropical landscape
Insect Conservation and DiversityUnderstanding the relationship between functional traits and fragmentation is crucial for promoting biodiversity and ecosystem function. Orchid bees (Euglossini) are important pollinators in Neotropical forests, but how body size may be associated with ...

Correlates of perfume load in male orchid bees
Chemoecology, 2015Male neotropical orchid bees collect volatile substances from their environment and compose complex, species-specific odour blends in leg pouches. These perfumes are accumulated by the males over time and are exposed during pre-mating display. It has been hypothesized that perfumes are indicators of male genotypic quality and that females chose mates ...

Defensive Bee and Wasp Mimicry by Orchid Flowers
2016A variety of arthropods (e.g., flies, spiders, butterflies) are known to mimic bees or wasps as defense from predators (Cott 1940; Wickler 1968; Edmunds 1974; Plowright and Owen 1980; Rothschild 1984; Howarth and Edmunds 2000; Bain et al. 2007; Chittka and Osorio 2007; Penney et al. 2012) (Fig. 61.1).
