Abstract:
In this study we investigated the group of floral resources that support bee populations from a bee assemblage in a savanna, and the way in which bee species use these food resources, with an emphasis on the breadth and overlap of trophic niches. The interactions between 75 species of bees and 62 species of plants visited to obtain floral resources were recorded on a Brazilian savanna site. The bee species explored a diverse set of plant species, but concentrated the collection of resources in a few plant species. The distribution of the samples over a long period favored a robust characteriza

Abstract:
This study provides a list of orchid bees collected from the Los Amigos Biological Station, Madre de Dios, Peru. Specimens were captured by luring them to aromatic baits, eucalyptus oil and methyl salicylate, over a five day period in June, 2011. A total of 93 individuals in three genera and 15 species were collected at two approximate, yet ecologically distinctive, sites. Results are consistent with previous reports on the diversity of Amazonian orchid bees.

Abstract:
Orchid bees are a conspicuous component of the neotropical bee fauna, with a few species reaching the northernmost natural distribution for the group in northwestern continental Mexico. Among them, Euglossa viridissima Friese is here reported for the first time in the Cape Region of the Baja California peninsula, Mexico, where no species of the group have been found previously. These records are presented, their biogeographical implications discussed, and some interpretations of the local factors that influence the bees is presented.

Abstract:
Thygater Holmberg 1884, a Neotropical bee genus distributed from Argentina to Mexico, was last revised almost 50 years ago. Considering the species recognized then, and a few others described subsequently, 30 species are currently included in the genus. The Brazilian state of Minas Gerais is a large, environmentally heterogeneous territory, including areas in the phytogeographic domains of the Atlantic Tropical Rain Forest, the semiarid Caatinga and the highly seasonal Cerrado. The state insect fauna has been poorly sampled and studied. As part of a taxonomic and phylogenetic study of the genu

Abstract:
The fragmentation and habitat loss are the main causes of pollinators decline worldwide, however very little is known about the composition and distribution of neotropical pollinators along continuous micro-environments. To fill this gap, we carried out samplings of Euglossini bees in a continuous area of forest with micro-environments of primary (remnant) and secondary (regeneration) forest of Atlantic Forest. We evaluated the differences in the composition and uniformity of orchid bees in different micro-environments, in order to characterize the responses of the local environmental changes

Abstract:
Abstract The Dermaptera, or earwigs, is a small order of about 1900 species worldwide, of which about 450 are Neotropical. The Neotropical earwig fauna is not yet adequately known; it is likely to be very rich in species, having close affinities with the dermapterans of South Africa (genus Esphalmenus Burr, 1909, Pygidicranidae) and West Africa (genus Forcipula Bolivar, 1898, Labiduridae). Of the eight families of Dermaptera now recognized (Sakai 1982), two families (Apachyidae and Chelisochidae) are absent from the Neotropical region.

Abstract In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the butterfly fauna of the Neotropics, and particularly that of Central America. A number of workers in this area have indicated to us that up-to-date information on the composition of the fauna of the Republic of Panama would be useful. Little has been published on the Panamanian butterflies since the classical work of Godman and Salvin (1879-1901) and the references to it in Seitz (1907-1924). Although Panamanian butterflies have been collected since at least the latter part of the 18th century (Brown and Heineman 1972; Lamas 19

Abstract:
South America forms the greater part of the Neotropical faunal realm, which extends northward through Central America to tropical southern Mexico. Although making up only 12% of the world’s land area, South America is the richest continent for virtually all organismal groups, including vertebrates. For example, of the known 23,250 species of fish (Eschmeyer, 1998), 41% or 9,530 species are freshwater, and of these, more than 2,800 species (29%) are in South America (Moyle and Cech, 2000). A comparable level of diversity exists for amphibians and birds. Of Earth’s 5,900 species of amphibians, a

The majority of the world’s mammal species and Monteverde’s fauna are small (&lt; 0.5 kg), nocturnal, and secretive.

Abstract:
Species distribution is a good predictor of several important traits, including threat status. Additionally, species expanding out of their original range can become invasive and this trend must be evaluated objectively. The greater rhea (Rhea americana) is a flightless large-sized avian species that thrives on open landscapes of South America. The species has been affected by the conversion of their savanna habitat into cropland and pastures, as well as benefited from forest conversion into fields at neighboring ecoregions. I propose to evaluate those range expansions, contractions and extirp
