1. A literature review of the pollination strategies and breeding systems in Oncidiinae orchids
ABSTRACT Oncidiinae is an exclusively Neotropical orchid subtribe with about 1600 described species and an impressive array of vegetative and floral morphological adaptations. We present the results of a literature survey on the pollination strategies and breeding systems of this orchid subtribe. The flowers are pollinated by a wide range of insects (mostly

2. News from the west: the orchid bees from Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossina)
Resumo: Abelhas-das-orquídeas foram amostradas no Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, o maior fragmento de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual do Brasil. Sete espécies foram coletadas e Eufriesea violacea (Blanchard) foi a espécie mais comum, seguida por Euglossa annectans Dressler. A riqueza e composição de espécies observadas concordam com o que se conhece para

3. Orchid bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossini) are seasonal in Seasonal Semideciduous Forest fragments, southern Brazil
Abstract Seasonal fluctuations in the abundance of orchid bees have already been reported. The variations in population dynamics may be expected to occur in more predictable and pronounced manners in environments with a clear distinction between rainy and dry seasons, where climatic variables are regarded to be good predictors of populational patterns. The m

4. Bait traps remain attractive to euglossine bees even after two weeks: a report from Brazilian Atlantic forest
ABSTRACT Bait traps are effective and commonly used method in the studies of orchid bees. Important questions in the context of this method, including those related to bait dispersion, how long baits remain attractive, the distance from which males are supposed to be attracted to lures and so on, are still open subjects. Data on the attractiveness of bait tr

5. Bombus brasiliensis Lepeletier (Hymenoptera, Apidae) infected with Nosema ceranae (Microsporidia)
ABSTRACT Heavy infections caused by a microsporidium were detected in midgut epithelium cells of two adult workers of the bumble bee Bombus brasiliensis Lepeletier collected near Puerto Iguazú, Misiones province, Argentina. Microsporidium rRNA (16S small subunit) was amplified by 218MITOC primers and produced amplicons indicating presence of Nosema ceranae

6. Beta-ionone attracts Euglossa mandibularis(Hymenoptera, Apidae) males in western Paraná forests
ABSTRACTMales of Euglossa mandibularis were consistently captured in scent traps baited with β-ionone in areas of Mixed Ombrophylous Forests or transition between this latter physiognomy and Montane Semideciduous Forest at Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, Paraná state, Brazil. Geographic records for the species and sampling effort (including or not β-ionone am

7. Is the capture success of orchid bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) influenced by different baited trap designs? A case study from southern Brazil
Orchid bees are increasingly applied on Neotropical biomonitoring and bioindication studies due to the relative easiness of sampling and identification when compared to other bee groups. A considerable number of orchid bee community studies have been adopting baited traps as a sampling method, especially for replication purposes. However, the trap attributes

8. Observations on fragrance collection behaviour of euglossine bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
Male bees of the tribe Euglossini collect volatile chemicals secreted by orchids using dense patches of hair on the front tarsi. After collecting chemicals, the bee hovers while transferring these fragrances to invaginations on the hind tibiae. The fragrance collection and hovering behaviours are repeated multiple times. Here I report preliminary field obser

9. The orchid bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossina) in a forest fragment from western Paraná state, Brazil
Abelhas das orquídeas (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossina) em um fragmento florestal do oeste do Paraná. Um inventário de abelhas das orquídeas foi conduzido no Parque Estadual São Camilo, Palotina, Paraná, uma unidade de conservação de cerca de 400 hectares de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual. Três garrafas-armadilha foram instaladas na borda do fragm

10. Evidence of separate karyotype evolutionary pathway in Euglossa orchid bees by cytogenetic analyses
Os Euglossini são abelhas solitárias consideradas importantes polinizadores de muitas espécies de orquídeas. Somente um pequeno número de espécies desse grupo possui informações sobre sua organização cromossômica. Neste trabalho as espécies Euglossa townsendi e E. carolina foram analisadas por técnicas citogenéticas a fim de obter informações

11. Estrutura genética e ecologia de comunidades das abelhas Euglossini (Hymenoptera; Apidae) do Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar e Parque Estadual da Ilha Anchieta, Ubatuba, SP, Brasil / Genetic structure and community ecology of Euglossine bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae) of Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar and Parque Estadual da Ilha Anchieta in Ubatuba, São Paulo State, Brazil
A Mata Atlântica é considerada uma das grandes prioridades para a conservação de biodiversidade em todo o continente americano. Este bioma é um dos oito hotspots do planeta e caracteriza-se pelo alto grau de endemismo e pela alta diversidade de espécies que encerra. As abelhas Euglossini estão restritas à região Neotropical, com uma faixa de distrib

12. Fauna and stratification of male orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and their preference for odor baits in a forest fragment
This is a study of the population fluctuation of euglossine species, as well as their preferences for scent baits (cineole, eugenol, vanillin and methyl salicylate) in two forest strata (canopy and understory) at the Reserva Florestal do Azulão, a forest fragment located in the municipality of Dourados, MS, Brazil (22°12'S, 54°55'W). We collected a total
