Nectar sugar limits larval growth of solitary bees (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae).
The bottom-up effects of plant food quality and quantity can affect the growth, survival, and reproduction of herbivores. The larvae of solitary bee pollinators, consumers of nectar and pollen, are also herbivores. Although pollen quantity and quality are known to be important for larval growth, little is known about how nectar quality limits solitary bee performance. By adding different levels...
متن کاملEvolution and biogeography of native Hawaiian Hylaeus bees (Hymenoptera: Colletidae)
The only bees native to the Hawaiian Islands form a single clade of 60 species in the genusHylaeus. The group is understudied and relatively poorly known. A data set consisting of 1201 base pairs of the mitochondrial genes cytochrome oxidase I and II and tRNALeucine, and 14 morphological characters was used to construct a phylogenetic tree for 48 of the 60 known species. Genetic variation was h...
متن کاملDiversity and Conservation of Leaf Cutter Bees (Hymenoptera: megachilidae)
More than one-third of the world’s crops require pollination to set seeds and fruits Dias et al. [1]. It is likely that wild bee community is sufficient to provide services for multiple crops, including some that are not serviced by honeybees Kremen et al. [2]. Under several situations non-Apis bees are better pollinators than Apis species because of efficient tripping, fast foraging rate, long...
متن کاملBees of the Azores: an annotated checklist (Apidae, Hymenoptera)
We report 18 species of wild bees plus the domesticated honeybee from the Azores, which adds nine species to earlier lists. One species, Hylaeus azorae, seems to be a single island endemic, and three species are possibly native (Colletes eous, Halictus villosulus, and Hylaeus pictipes). All the remaining bee species are most likely accidental introductions that arrived after human colonization ...
متن کاملTransvestism Hypothesis: a Cross-Sex Source of Morphological Variation for the Evolution of Parasitism Among Sweat Bees (Hymenoptera: Halictidae)?
Brood parasitism has evolved repeatedly in insects, and is especially diverse within bees. Little attention has been given to the evolution of structural modiÞcations associated with parasitism, in contrast to behavior. Female parasitic bees tend to converge on a suite of characters, some of which may involve loss of characters associated with pollen-collecting or nest-making, whereas others ma...
