Comparative morphology of spermathecae in solitary and primitively eusocial bees (Hymenoptera; Apoidea)
Spermathecae of solitary and primitively eusocial bees from five major families were compared according to their chamber size, epithelial cell height (wall thickness), number and shape of glands, number of sperm pumps, and diameter of the duct, using whole mounts and serial sections. A thick spermathecal wall with a small chamber in our exemplar colletid, megachilid, and andrenid bees, a large ...
متن کاملTrophallaxis in weakly social bees (Apoidea)
The hypothesis that trophallaxis, the transfer of symbionts, nutrients, and semiochemical signals within groups, functions as a social glue to bind group members together can be traced to ideas of the ‘social stomach’ developed by Rouboud, Janet and Forel, and popularised by Wheeler (1928) (see Sleigh, 2002 for references and a history of ideas relating trophallaxis to sociality). Recently, Nal...

متن کاملPreliminary results of bowl trapping bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) in a southern Brazil forest fragment
In recent years bowl traps have gained attention as a useful method for sampling bees and are now commonly used across the world for this purpose. However, specific questions about the method itself have not yet been tested on different regions of the globe. We present the preliminary results of bowl trapping in a Semidecidual Seasonal forest fragment in southern Brazil, including the test of t...
متن کاملPhylogenetic utility of the major opsin in bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea): a reassessment.
Major opsin (LW Rh) DNA sequence has been reported to provide useful data for resolving phylogenetic relationships among tribes of corbiculate bees based on analyses of 502 bp of coding sequence. However, the corbiculate tribes are believed to be of Cretaceous age, and strong support for insect clades of this age from small data sets of nucleotide sequence data has rarely been demonstrated. To ...
