“…There is no consensus regarding the intensities and main effects of the forest fragmentation on the Euglossine bees (see brief review in Ramalho et al 2013). However, most (70 %) of the studies have reported effects of some fragmentation metrics (for example, fragment size or core area, areaedge ratio, habitat quality) on the diversity and/or the abundance of those bees (e.g., Powell and Powell 1987;Raw 1989;Peruquetti et al 1999;Otero and Sandino 2003;Sofia and Suzuki 2004;Darrault et al 2006;Brosi 2009;Ramalho et al 2009Ramalho et al , 2013Nemésio and Silveira 2010;Aguiar and Gaglianone 2012). On the contrary, few cases did not report any effects of the forest fragment size or quality on orchid bees (Becker et al 1991;Tonhasca et al 2002;Rasmussen 2009).…”

Permeability of matrices of agricultural crops to Euglossina bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in the Atlantic Rain Forest

-We evaluate the permeability of three matrices of arboreal crops for the Euglossina bees that inhabit the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest hotspot. The comparisons of occurrences and abundances within three mosaics of forest and extensive arboreal crops (piassava palm, oil palm, and rubber tree) showed that all the matrices were permeable to most orchid bees. The piassava palm was the most permeable, where the spatial distribution of all species of Euglossina did not differ between forest fragments and matrix. The oil palm has shown some loss of permeability to Eulaema atleticana , while the rubber tree crop was not so permeable to El. atleticana and Euglossa imperialis. Euglossa iopoecila was sampled only in the forest fragments. At the present scale of forest cover in the three studied mosaics (10 to 40 %), the arboreal matrices are contributing towards the functional connectivity in the Atlantic Rain Forest at both scales: the landscape mosaic and the Brazilian Atlantic Forest corridor.functional connectivity / Euglossina / matrix habitat / agricultural crop / Atlantic Forest

“…cingulata , odour-baits were used with the following fragrances: methyl cinnamate, vanillin, eucalyptol, benzyl acetate and methyl salicylate. Samplings of this species occurred between May 2007 and May 2009, and the males were collected using aromatic traps (for details, see Aguiar and Gaglianone 2012). To sample the other euglossine species, aromatic traps and/or insect nets were used.…”

Orchid bees: a new assessment on the rarity of diploid males in populations of this group of Neotropical pollinators

et al. 2015

-The incidence of diploid males among 1457 individuals of different populations of six euglossine bee species (Eufriesea violacea , Eulaema cingulata , Euglossa annectans , Euglossa iopoecila , Euglossa pleosticta and Euglossa truncata ) was investigated with microsatellite markers. Bees were surveyed in Atlantic Forest fragments showing different sizes and degrees of human interference. Our analyses revealed that, although the frequencies of diploid males remained below 10 % for five out of six species studied, the frequencies of these males in three populations of Eg. annectans were above 15.0 %. For this species, while the average estimate of diploid males was around 11.0 %, the highest percentage (27 %) of such males was found for the population from an island. Our findings indicate that the frequency of diploid males can vary substantially among species and this fact should be taking into consideration in studies and conservation actions involving different euglossine bees. microsatellites / Euglossini / euglossine bees / Euglossa annectans / forest fragments

The Atlantic Rain Forest covers mostly low to medium elevations (<= 1000 m.a.s.l.)…”
