Cavities in bromeliad stolons used as nest sites by Euglossacordata (Hymenoptera, Euglossini)
2018
Boff, Samuel | Santos, Isabel Alves dos
Herein, we describe nests of the orchid bee Euglossacordata that were constructed in cavities of Aechmeadistichantha (Bromeliaceae) stolons. We present data about nest and cell size, number of adults and brood, and analyses of larval provisions. The presence of E.cordata carcasses embedded in the resin of nest partitions indicates that these nests were used by multiple generations. Based on larval provisioning, E.cordata is polylectic and relies heavily on a few plant species.
