Annual Review of Ecology Evolution and Systematics, 35, pp 375-403 http://www.ask-force.org/web/Pollination/Fenster-Pollination-Syndromes-2004.pdf INCENTIVES FOR VISITING FLOWERS Plants can not move from one location to another, thus many flowers have evolved to attract animals to transfer pollen between individuals in dispersed populations. Flowers that are insect-pollinated are called entomophilous; literally "insect-loving" in Latin. They can be highly modified along with the pollinating insects by co-evolution. Flowers commonly have glands called nectaries on various parts that attract animals looking for nutritious nectar. Birds and bees have color vision, enabling them to seek out "colorful" flowers. Some flowers have patterns, called nectar guides, that show pollinators where to look for nectar; they may be visible only under ultraviolet light, which is visible to bees and some other insects. Flowers also attract pollinators by scent and some of those scents are pleasant to our sense of smell. Not all flower scents are appealing to humans, a number of flowers are pollinated by insects that are attracted to rotten flesh and have flowers that smell like dead animals, often called Carrion flowers including Rafflesia, the titan arum, and the North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba). Flowers pollinated by night visitors, including bats and moths, are likely to concentrate on scent to attract pollinators and most such flowers are white. Still other flowers use mimicry to attract pollinators. Some species of orchids, for example, produce flowers resembling female bees in color, shape, and scent. Male bees move from one such flower to another in search of a mate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower#Attraction_methods Anreiz für Insektenbesuch: Quellen: Nektar, Pollen, Pseudokopulation 1.

  • Comparative Morphology of the Mouthparts of the Megadiverse South African Monkey Beetles (Scarabaeidae: Hopliini): Feeding Adaptations and Guild Structure

South African monkey beetles are known to feed on floral tissue; however, some species seem to specialise on pollen and/or nectar. The present study examined the mouthpart morphology and gut content of various hopliine species to draw conclusions on their feeding preferences. According to the specialisations of their mouthparts, the investigated species were classified into different feeding groups. Adaptations to pollen-feeding included a well-developed, toothed molar and a lobe-like, setose lacinia mobilis on the mandible as well as curled hairs or sclerotized teeth on the galea of the maxillae. Furthermore, elongated mouthparts were interpreted as adaptations for nectar feeding.

This was with a view to identifying and documenting the diversity of bees pollinating agricultural and ornamental plants for a meaningful conservation and management of insects in Nigeria. Bees collection was done using standard sweep net, to collect free range bees species on the sites. Standard yellow pan traps were also set using pineapple as bait to entice bees. Trapped bees were collected and baits were changed on daily basis. The bees were described and identified to species level using existing bee taxonomic keys. Host plants visited by the bee species were identified in the Natural History Museum Herbarium (UNIFEM) and Department of Botany Herbarium (IFE) in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. Paleontological Statistic Software Package (PAST) was used to analyze the collected data.

  • Response of Plant-Pollinator Interactions to Landscape Transformations in the Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) Biodiversity Hotspot

Date: December 2019 Copyright © 2019 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Landscape transformation is one of the leading causes of global biodiversity decline. This decline is seen in terms of loss of species of ecological importance, and the collapse of important ecological interactions in terrestrial ecosystems. Ecological interactions are highly sensitive to environmental changes, as they are more vulnerable to disruptions than the species involved. Understanding the stability of these interactions in the face of growing environmental changes is key to identifying suitable conservation strategies for ameliorating species loss in transformed landscapes.

Nikolaj Rauff POULSEN, Claus RASMUSSEN Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Ole Worms Allé 1, 8000, Aarhus C, Denmark Received 20 November 2019 – Revised4May2020– Accepted 28 May 2020 Abstract – For bees to reach isolated islands, they need to be able to cross large water barriers. However, functional traits such as nesting behavior, flight range, and body size can limit their dispersal. In this study, the bee faunas of seven different islands or island groups (Anholt, Canary Islands, Fiji Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Madeira, Malta, and Sri Lanka) were analyzed by comparing them to the mainland bee fauna.

Mai 2007 Revision der Euglossa cordata-Gruppe und Untersuchungen zur Funktionsmorphologie und Faunistik der Euglossini (Hymenoptera, Apidae) Benjamin BEMBÉ Summary The genus Euglossa currently contains 106 extant species in 5 subgenera and 12 species groups. The present work provides a detailed overview of the subgenus Euglossa (Euglossa). New keys are offered for the identification of ((: to the subgenera of Euglossa, the species groups in Euglossa (Euglossa), and for the first time to the species in the Euglossa cordata group. The species in the Euglossa cordata group are studied and taxonomically revised using light- as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and based on type material and collections holdings from various geographic regions. Instead of the previously 5 ©Entomofauna, Ansfelden Austria, bestellen unter www.biologiezentrum.at recognized 21 species, the group is reduced to now 15 species. Five names, Eg. azureoviridis, Eg. cyanaspis, Eg. gaianii, Eg. ultima, and Eg. violaceifrons, are relegated to junior synonymy. Eg. erythrochlora becomes a subspecies of Eg. hemichlora. For Eg. tridentata, characters of the genitalia place it in the Euglossa cybelia group.
