Abstract Long-horned bees (Apidae, Eucerini) are found in different biomes worldwide and
include some important crop pollinators. In the Western Hemisphere, Eucerini received …

The decline of wild bee populations causes the decline of bee-pollinated plant populations
through the deterioration of pollination services. Since high bee species richness generally …

A problem for understanding bumblebee biogeography is that if bumblebees dispersed from
Asia through North America to South America, if they are poor at long-distance dispersal …

Microbial communities that maintain symbiotic relationships with animals evolve by adapting
to the specific environmental niche provided by their host, yet understanding their patterns of …

The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of bumblebees (Bombus) has been widely used for
phylogenetic studies, but its evolution is still underexplored. Here we report a …

Bumble bees are important pollinators in natural environments and agricultural farmlands,
and they are in particular adapted to harsh environments like high mountain habitats. In …

Abstract Bumblebees (Bombus Latreille, 1802), because of their large body size, bright
colours and activity at times and places that coincide with biologists, are an example of a …

Fernando A. Silveira had the unique combination of being a sagacious scientist and a
remarkable human being. Throughout his career, he made significant contributions to …

COI-barcode-like sequences appear to show substantially more species diversity among
Mesoamerican bumblebees than had been reported previously from morphological studies …

We present a genome assembly from an individual female specimen of Bombus lapidarius
(Large Red Tailed Bumble Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome …
