“…Embora as comparações entre os trabalhos, principalmente em relação à riqueza e abundância, devam ser feitas de forma cautelosa devido à falta de padronização dos métodos (MORATO 1998), o número de espécies encontrado neste estudo pode ser considerado representativo da comunidade local de Euglossini, quando comparado à fauna desse grupo de abelhas amostrada em pesquisas realizadas em alguns ecossistemas da Região Nordeste, Sul e Sudeste do Brasil (RAW 1989;WITTMANN et al 1988;REBÊLO & GARÓFALO 1991;PERUQUETTI et al 1999;NEVES & VIANA 1997, 1999JESUS 2000). Porém, pode ser considerada pobre quando comparada aos levantamentos realizados nas florestas úmidas da América Central e Região Amazônica (PEARSON & DRESSLER 1985;ROUBIK & ACKERMAN 1987;MORATO & CAMPOS 1992;OLIVEIRA & CAMPOS 1995;, onde o número de espécies amostradas foi, na maioria dos casos, bem maior do que o obtido neste trabalho.…”

“…Embora haja variação geográfica e/ou sazonal (WITTMANN et al 1987;ACKERMAN 1989;REBÊLO & GARÓFALO 1991;OLIVEIRA & CAMPOS 1996) na preferência por compostos por parte dos machos de uma mesma espécie -o que pode estar refletindo as variações nas disponibilidades de fontes naturais de recursos -na maioria dos estudos tem-se observado que um grande número de indivíduos de espécies como Euglossa cordata e Eulaema nigrita é coletado em eucaliptol em diferentes épocas do ano e em diferentes localidades (RAW 1989;AGUILAR 1990;REBÊLO & GARÓFALO 1991;NEVES & VIANA 1997, 1999BEZERRA & MARTINS 2001).…”

ABSTRACT. Community of Euglossini (Hymenoptera, Apidae) from the coastal sand dunes of Abaeté, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The Euglossini community structure was analyzed by attracting males with the scents eucalyptol, eugenol, vanillin, benzyl benzoate and methyl salicylate, and by netting bees on flowers. The samplings took place three times a month along one year from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The scent baits attracted 670 individuals belonging to seven species of three genus. The predominant species were Euglossa cordata (Linnaeus, 1758) (76.6%) and Eulaema nigrita Lepeletier, 1841 (21.8%). Euglossini males visited the scents along the whole year, being more abundant in May and in August. The most efficient fragrance was eucalyptol, attracting 624 individuals of five species. The males abundance fluctuated along the day, being the highest frequency observed between 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Forty eigth Euglossini females of four species were netted visiting flowers of 14 plant species belonging to 13 families. Solanaceae and Caesalpiniaceae were the most visited. The species catched on flowers were Euglossa cordata, Eulaema nigrita, Euplusia mussitans (Fabricius, 1787) and Eulaema meriana flavescens Friese 1899. Euglossa cordata was the predominant species on flowers (64.6%), being collected during almost the whole year. Euplusia mussitans was the only species netted on flowers which males were not sampled on the scents.

“…Ackerman (1983) showed that capture rates using artifi cial baits refl ect actual bee abundance and baiting studies are therefore a widely applied measure of euglossine bee diversity and abundance. Studies in South and Central America have investigated the effect on euglossine communities from different habitats (Dressler 1985, Oliveira & Campos 1995, seasonality (Janzen et al 1982, Ackerman 1983, Oliveira 1999, fragmentation (Becker et al 1991, Tonhasca et al 2002, and agricultural effects (Otero & Sandino 2003, Hedström et al 2006a, providing information on the community structure and habitat changes. However, none of these studies addressed the community change between reforested and managed continuous forest patches.…”

Composicion de Abejas Euglossinas (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Euglossini) en una Sucesión de Selva Tropical RESUMEN -Las abejas euglossinas macho, son fácilmente atraídas por los cebos químicos que imitan las fragancias naturales recolectadas por las abejas, proporcionando así una medida de la diversidad y abundancia extensamente aplicada para estas abejas. En este estudio documento la composicion de las abejas euglossinas en tres hábitats de la selva baja del Perú (Loreto), tales como un bosque primario, un bosque reforestado y manejado, y un bosque muy deforestado. A partir de 2.072 abejas capturadas perteneciendo a 33 especies y cuatro géneros, encontré una diversidad comparable a otros estudios de la región Amazónica, pero no encontré ninguna diferencia signifi cativa entre los hábitats muestreados. Quizás por que los muestreos de las abejas euglossinas de corta duración (< 3 meses), tal como este caso, no son buenos indicadores del estado del bosque sin datos adicionales. Comparado a otros estudios de la fauna de las abejas euglossinas, Loreto es el más similar en especies a las especies reportadas de Brasil (Manaus), de Perú central (Panguana) y luego de Perú meridional (Tambopata). PALABRAS-CLAVE: Euglossa, Eulaema, Eufriesea, Exaerete, Jaccard indice, Sørensen indiceABSTRACT -Euglossine bee males are easily lured to chemical baits imitating natural fragrances gathered by bees, providing a widely applied measure for estimating the diversity and abundance of euglossines. In here, I report the composition of euglossine bees in three lowland rainforest habitats of Peru, a primary old forest, a reforested and managed forest, and a very disturbed forest. A total of 2,072 males of euglossine were collected, belonging to 33 species and four genera. Although a comparable diversity relative to other studies from the Amazonian region was found, no signifi cant differences among the sampled areas were detected. Perhaps, the short time and low intensity surveys here used (< 3 months) were not good enough indicators of forest disturbance without additional data. Compared to other major studies on the euglossine bee fauna, Loreto is most similar to the species assemblage reported from lowland rainforest in Brazil (Manaus), central Peru (Panguana) and southern Peru (Tambopata).

“…This species was recently recorded in the central Pacific plain of Colombia, Chocó region (Otero & Sandino 2003), and also in the French Guiana and Ecuador (Dick et al 2004). In Brazil, several males were collected in the states of Pará (Ducke 1901, Kimsey 1982, Amazonas (Braga 1978, Kimsey 1982, Becker et al 1991, Oliveira 1999, Amapá (Kimsey 1982, Moure et al 2007, and more recently in Maranhão (Rebêlo 2001, Brito & Rêgo 2002. Nevertheless, Kimsey (1982) pointed out that this species was also recorded in southern Brazil, in São Paulo state (São Paulo city).…”

-This study was conducted in the Cotriguaçu district, situated on the bank of the Juruena River, in Mato Grosso state. The collects were carried out from August 22 to 25, 2007 with chemical baits to attract male orchid bees. The bees were captured on a daily basis, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Of the 89 males captured three belonged to Eufriesea pulchra Smith. Before the present study, E. pulchra had been reported in the states of Pará, Amazonas, Amapá, (dubiously) São Paulo, and Maranhão. This occurrence extends its geographical distribution range by 900 to 2,000 km southwards in South America, as it is now recorded in the Amazon and Platina basins.
