1. Efficiency of trap nests in attracting stingless bees in the central Brazilian Amazon
RESUMO A obtenção de colônias de abelhas sem ferrão na natureza, para a formação ou ampliação de meliponários e outras finalidades, é permitida por lei no Brasil usando recipientes-isca ou ninho-isca, ou outros métodos não destrutivos. Nós testamos a eficiência do ninho-isca feito de garrafa plástica para atração e nidificação de abelhas s

2. Nesting and reproductive habits of the solitary bee Centris analis in trap nests under a tropical climate
RESUMO A polinização é um fator essencial na produção agrícola mundial e existe a necessidade de aumentar o número de espécies de abelhas que podem ser criadas para a polinização na agricultura, como a abelha solitária coletora de óleo Centris (Heterocentris) analis (Fabricius, 1804). Aqui, os comportamentos de nidificação e reprodutivo dessa a

3. What do we know about Neotropical trap-nesting bees? Synopsis about their nest biology and taxonomy
Abstract Cavity-nesting bees are enigmatic because they are difficult to observe in the wild, hence trap-nests (man-made cavities) provide the means by which these bees may be studied. Trap-nests is an efficient methodology to study these bees and are common worldwide. These traps have been used for a variety of reasons, including inventories, to examine pol

4. Testing camera traps as a potential tool for detecting nest predation of birds in a tropical rainforest environment
ABSTRACT Identification of the predators of bird nests is essential to test ecological and evolutionary hypotheses and to make practical management decisions. A variety of nest monitoring devices have been proposed but many remain difficult to set up in the field. The aim of this study was to test camera traps as a potential tool to study predation of natura

5. Nesting biology of three Megachile (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) species from Eastern Amazonia, Brazil
Abstract Megachile Latreille is a conspicuous genus of solitary bees distributed worldwide. However, the biology of tropical species is still little known. We present data on biology of Megachile brasiliensis Data Torre, Megachile sejuncta Cockerell and Megachile stilbonotaspis Moure found in two remnants of eastern Amazonian forest in northeastern Brazil.

6. A new technique in the excavation of ground-nest bee burrows (Hymenoptera: Apoidea)
ABSTRACT Bees have a diversified natural history, thus the methods applied to study such diversity are varied. When it comes to studies of nesting biology, bees which nest in pre-existing cavities have been reasonably well studied since researchers started using trap-nests. However, bees whose nests are built underground are poorly studied due to the difficu

7. Peptidomic analysis of the venom of the solitary bee Xylocopa appendiculata circumvolans
Abstract Background: Among the hymenopteran insect venoms, those from social wasps and bees - such as honeybee, hornets and paper wasps - have been well documented. Their venoms are composed of a number of peptides and proteins and used for defending their nests and themselves from predators. In contrast, the venoms of solitary wasps and bees have not been

8. Biology of a trap-nesting wasp of one species the ground-nesting Liris (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) from the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil
ABSTRACT Studies on the nesting biology of Liris are restricted to a few notes and observations on ground-nesting species. There are no studies of this kind about Brazilian species. We investigated and described the nesting biology of Liris sp. obtained by trap-nests that were installed at an area of Atlantic Forest vegetation (25°10'S, 48°18'W) in souther

9. Seasonal population abundance of the assembly of solitary wasps and bees (Hymenoptera) according to land-use in Maranhão state, Brazil
ABSTRACT Solitary wasps and bees (Hymenoptera) play a key role in ecosystem and agroecosystem functioning. Crops may benefit from biological pest control and pollination carried out by predatory solitary wasps and solitary bees, respectively. Here, we aimed at evaluating the abundance and faunistic compositions of solitary wasps and bees in respect to land-u

10. Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) in the Pantanal region: association with Trypanosoma cruzi, different habitats and vertebrate hosts
ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: The transmission cycle of Trypanosoma cruzi in the Brazilian Pantanal region has been studied during the last decade. Although considerable knowledge is available regarding the mammalian hosts infected by T. cruzi in this wetland, no studies have investigated its vectors in this region. This study aimed to investigate the presence of sy

11. Biologia de nidificação de Podium angustifrons Kohl (Hymenoptera, Sphecidae) em um fragmento de floresta com araucárias
Podium angustifrons Kohl 1902 é uma espécie de vespa solitária que nidifica em cavidades pré-existentes, com distribuição na Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, Colômbia, Guiania e Guiana Francesa. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a biologia de nidificação desta espécie, discutindo aspectos de sua história de vida. Para captura seus ninhos, foram i

12. Biologia reprodutiva de rainhas e machos de Tetragonisca angustula (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) / Reproductive biology of the queens and males of Tetragonisca angustula (Hymenoptera: Meliponini)
The stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini)present a haplodiploid sex determination system with complementary sex determination in a single locus. Such a system is a large genetic load for the group and thus the genetic diversity of male\ s aggregations near the nests is essential to minimize the chances of inbreeding. The interactions among the stingless b
