Generalist Bee Species on Brazilian Bee-Plant Interaction Networks
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 Determining bee and plant interactions has an important role on understanding general biology of bee species as well as the potential pollinating relationship between them. Bee surveys have been conducted in Brazil since the end of the 1960s.

Microbial Evolution in Allodapine Bees: Perspectives From Trophallactic, Socially Plastic Pollinators. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT This review seeks a deeper functional understanding of wild bee microbiomes by focusing on a tribe of bees where natural history and behavioral ecology are well known but investigations of microbiology are just beginning. Opportunities to improve our future knowledge of pathogens to insect pollinators are explored—which have broad ...

Bee Body Size and Foraging Behavior Predict the Pollination Role of Bees in a Buzz-Pollinated Plant Community. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how bee traits influence pollination success in a buzz‐pollinated plant community. Larger body size and floral sonication strongly predicted stigma contact, a proxy for pollination efficiency, while longer handling times were associated with reduced effectiveness.

The evolution of floral sonication, a pollen foraging behavior used by bees (Anthophila). [PDF]
Evolution, 2018 Abstract Over 22,000 species of biotically pollinated flowering plants, including some major agricultural crops, depend primarily on bees capable of floral sonication for pollination services. The ability to sonicate (“buzz”) flowers is widespread in bees but not ubiquitous.

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Eastern Amazonia is an area with great biological diversity that has suffered rapid deforestation and forest fragmentation over the years. Because of the scarcity of data on the fauna and flora, the northwest of the state of Maranhão has become a priority area for studies that seek to gain a better understanding of bee fauna.

Buzzing Wild Bee Visits Enhance Seed Set in Eggplant, Solanum melongena
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Sixty percent of the angiosperms with poricidal anthers are buzz‐pollinated by bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Apiformes). Plant taxa with Solanum‐type flowers have larger anthers and shorter filaments. Solanum melongena (Solanaceae) is more commonly and efficiently pollinated by buzz pollinators. The present study documented bees and their diurnal pattern
