The great taxonomic diversity of the Orchidaceae is often attributed to adaptive radiation for
specific pollinators driven by selection for outcrossing. However, when one looks beyond the …

This chapter reviews the structures and abundances of the chemical compound groups in a
wider range of plants, and discusses various aspects of variation in floral scent chemistry …

Plant-pollinator systems inherently possess wide variation that limits the applicability of
surveys on population dynamics or diversity. Stable habitats are scarcely studied, whereas …

This paper comprises Part II of a review of flower visitation and pollination by Diptera
(myiophily or myophily). While Part I examined taxonomic diversity of anthophilous flies …

El grupo de las abejas de las orquídeas está compuesto por cinco géneros bien definidos

An activity pattern is the change in levels of a particular activity through time. Activity pattern
data form the basis of much of behavioral ecology for two simple reasons. First, they tell us …

Perfume making in male orchid bees is a unique behavior that has given rise to an entire
pollination syndrome in the neotropics. 1, 2 Male orchid bees concoct and store species …

Neotropical orchid bees (Euglossini) are often cited as classic examples of trapline-foragers
with potentially extensive foraging ranges. If long-distance movements are habitual, rare …

Plants produce and emit a large variety of volatile organic compounds that play key roles in
interactions with abiotic and biotic environments. One of these roles is the attraction of …

A detailed synopsis of all the orchid-bee species known to occur in the Atlantic Forest
Domain, eastern Brazil, is provided, including synonymy, complete type data, diagnoses …
