Orchid Bees of forest fragments in Southwestern Amazonia. Biota Neotrop. 13(1): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v13n1/en/ abstract?article+bn03413012013 Abstract: Bees of the tribe Euglossini are known as orchid-bees. In general, areas with more vegetation cover have greater abundance and diversity of these bees. This study investigated the effects of forest fragmentation on assemblages of the euglossine bees in the region of Rio Branco municipality, State of Acre, and surrounding areas. Ten forest fragments with varying sizes were selected for the study and were classified as urban or rural. The bees were sampled between December 2005 and August 2006. A total of 3,675 bees in 36 species and 4 genera were collected. In general abundance and richness of bees did not differ statistically between urban and rural fragments. The index of edge in fragments was a predictor of richness and diversity of bees. The connectivity estimated was also an adequate predictor for richness. Fragments with greater similarity in relation to their landscape structure were also more similar in relation to faunal composition. -

Accepted on 26 June 2014. ABSTRACT: Economic activities, such as extensive cattle ranching, may seriously threaten the types of forest most important to the Mato Grosso Antbird Cercomacra melanaria, and information on reproductive biology is essential for defining sound conservation and management strategies for the species. Here, we report on the reproductive biology of this species in the Brazilian Pantanal, focusing on attributes such as incubation and nestling periods, as well as characteristics of parental care. The hypothesis that nest occurrence is associated with canopy opening was also tested. Average nest height was 0.98 m; mean nest construction and egg incubation periods were 12.2 and 14 days, respectively; average nestling period was 9.4 days. Both males and females participated in nest construction, egg incubation, and feeding of nestlings. The canopy was consistently more open away from the nests (18.74%) than at nest sites (10.10%; P < 0.0001), indicating that C. -

In spite of playing an important ecological role as pollinators of tropical ecosystems, orchid bees are still poorly known regarding their floral resources. Aiming at a better comprehension of the importance of different plants visited by the Euglossini and, consequently, their role in the maintenance and reproduction of plant species in tropical ecosystems, this study aimed at identifying the flowers visited by those bees in two different areas of the Atlantic Forest in the northern coast of the state of Sao˜ Paulo, Brazil. Sampling was carried out from August 2007 to July 2009 in two coastal ecosystems in Ubatuba, Brazil. In order to obtain information on flower resources collected by Euglossini bees in loco, all bees observed on flowers were collected, pollinaria of Orchidaceae occasionally attached to the body of males were identified, and the pollinic analysis of 68 females was carried out. -

Comparative Bioacoustical Studies on Flight and Buzzing of Neotropical Bees
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 6(16), 2011, p 118-124 COMPARATIVE BIOACOUSTICAL STUDIES ON FLIGHT AND BUZZING OF NEOTROPICAL BEES Andreas Burkart 1* , Klaus Lunau 1 and Clemens Schlindwein 2 1 Institute of Sensory Ecology, Department Biology, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany 2Departamento de Botânica, Instituto de Ciêncais Biológicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Av. Antônio Carlos, 6627 - Pampulha - Caixa Postal 486, 31270-901, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil Abstract The presence of bees is typically accompanied by the humming sound of their flight. Bees of several tribes are also capable of pollen collecting by vibration, known as buzzing behaviour, which produces a buzzing sound, different from the flight sound. An open question is whether bee species have species-specific buzzing patterns or frequencies dependent of the bees' morphology or are capable to adjust their individual buzzing sound to optimize pollen return. The investigations to approach this issue were performed in northeastern Brazil near Recife in the state of Pernambuco. We present a new field method using a commercially available portable system able to record the sound of bees during flight and buzzing at flowers. Further, we describe computer linguistical algorithms to analyse the frequency of the recorded sound sequences. With this method, we recorded the flight and buzzing sequences of 59 individual bees out of 12 species visiting the flowers of Solanum stramoniifolium and S. paniculatum . Our findings demonstrate a typical frequency range for the sounds produced by the bees of a species. Our statistical analysis shows a strong correlation of bee size and flight frequency and demonstrates that bee species use different frequency patterns. -

Having collected new specimens along the Rio Araguaia, we revised the taxonomy of this species by examining plumage coloration and morphometric data of 36 specimens housed in Brazilian, European, and North American museums.
