The simplicity and accessibility of the olfactory systems of insects underlie a body of
research essential to understanding not only olfactory function but also general principles of …

Until the 1980s theories of social insect evolution drew strongly on halictine and allodapine
bees. However, that early work suffered from a lack of sound phylogenetic inference and …

The first edition of Tropical Rain Forests: an Ecological and Biogeographical Comparison
exploded the myth of 'the rain forest'as a single, uniform entity. In reality, the major tropical …

A long-standing controversy in bee social evolution concerns whether highly eusocial
behavior has evolved once or twice within the corbiculate Apidae. Corbiculate bees include …

We estimate phylogenetic relationships and the biogeographic and pollination history of
Costus subgenus Costus (Costaceae) using sequence data from the internal and external …

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 …

Phylogenies of major groups of insects based on both morphological and molecular data
have sometimes been contentious, often lacking the data to distinguish between alternative …
