Conserving bees are critical both ecologically and economically. Genetic tools are valuable
for monitoring these vital pollinators since tracking these small, fast‐flying insects by …

Growing evidence of global declines in pollinator abundance and diversity has raised
concerns about the resilience of pollination systems. When subjected to stressors, each …

Many wild and managed bee pollinators have experienced population declines over the
past several decades, and molecular and population genetic tools have been valuable in …

Major hydroelectric dams are among key emergent agents of habitat loss and fragmentation
in lowland tropical forests. Orchid bees (Apidae, Euglossini) are one of the most important …

Bees are the primary pollinators of flowering plants in almost all ecosystems. Worldwide
declines in bee populations have raised awareness about the importance of their ecological …

To accommodate an ever-increasing human population, agriculture is rapidly intensifying at
the expense of natural habitat, with negative and widely reported effects on biodiversity in …

Background Bombus morio and B. pauloensis are sympatric widespread bumblebee
species that occupy two major Brazilian biomes, the Atlantic forest and the savannas of the …

Abstract Orchid bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossini) are important pollinators of many
plant families in Neotropical forests, habitats that have become increasingly degraded and …

Honey bees are the most important managed pollinators as they provide key ecosystem
services for crop production worldwide. Recent losses of honey bee colonies in North …

Many species of high-altitude plateaus tend to be narrowly distributed along river valleys at
lower elevations due to a limitation of suitable habitats. The eastern honeybee (Apis cerana) …
