Modern urban ecology approaches consider cities as heterogeneous and dynamic ecosystems, composed of biotic, physical, social and built complexes, whose boundaries extend and interact with natural and cultural landscapes. In this context, the urban meliponiculture (stingless bee keeping) - whether for the production of honey and marketable products, for conservation and educational purpos…
Pollination is a process essential for the sexual reproduction of most of flowering plants. In approximately 90% of tropical angiosperms, pollination is facilitated by animals, mostly insects, which are oriented by chemical cues to identify flowers and access floral resources during pollination. Hence, pollination interactions constitute mutualistic relationships mediated by floral volati…
The pollen stored in brood cells in a bee's nest to feed their immature represents the flora used in foraging females. Through the identification of pollen grains, we can understand the plant taxa used by the species as a food source. This proposal aims to investigate the pollen used by Euglossa annectans through samples of brood cells in a nest kept in Lab. De Abelhas at USP, in order to…
Insects make up one of the most evolutionarily successful groups because of its wide distribution and diversity, with more than double the rate others taxa gathered together. Amongst the many orders of insects, the Hymenopterans are one of the most important, not only for its behavioral complexity, but also for the important ecosystem services they provide. Bees are amongst the most studi…

Flowers are valuable systems for studying phenotypic correlation structure of multiple traits as they represent a complex modular organ subjected to selective pressures provided by their pollinators. In the proposed project, we aim to apply phenotypic integration methods (on previous collected data) for assessing floral trait correlation and covariation across the distribution range of Kr…
Bees are insects studied extensively with a wide range of information published annually. The genus Centris Fabricius includes about 230 species of solitary bees spread from Argentina to the southern United States. Species of Centris collect floral oil, a resource used to feed the larvae and to line the brood cells. The subgenus Centris (Paracentris) Cameron, is most commonly represented …
Pollinator and flowering plants are evolutionarily associated for millions of years and thus they may act reciprocally as selective force. In the pollination process, pollen transfer is the primary mechanism for natural selection occurs in this interaction, while pollinators and plants effectively need to feed and reproduce, respectively. Recently researchers developed methods for quantif…
