Abstract: -The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity and distribution patterns of orchid bees (Euglossina). Cluster and correlation analyses were applied to data extracted from 28 orchidbee surveys throughout the Neotropical Region. The 28 sampling sites were grouped in three main biogeographic areas that roughly correspond to the Amazonian Basin, the Atlantic Forest and Central America. These three regions, as well as subregions within each of them, correspond approximately to biogeographic components iden… Show more

“…The analysis involved males of six species [Eufriesea violacea (Blanchard) (Nemésio and Silveira 2007;Nemésio 2009;Mattozo et al 2011). Hereafter in the text the following abbreviations are used for different genera and commonly employed in studies on Euglossini: Ef.…”

“…The lack of standardisation in orchid-bee inventories has been pointed out as a main concern for comparative studies for over a decade (Morato, 1998;Nemésio and Silveira, 2007b;Nemésio, 2012b). Recently, Nemésio (2010b) proposed a 20-hour sampling methodology that consists in collecting all bees in a given site over 20 hours Table 3.…”

“…Moreover, our data, collected in the core area of the Cerrado and far away from both forest domains, suggest that there is not an orchid-bee fauna endemic to the Cerrado. Instead, the euglossine species occurring in this domain seem to bee a subset of the euglossine fauna in the Atlantic Forest, composed of bees species found in the seasonal, low-canopy forests occurring at altitudes above 800 m along the Espinhaço range and which are in close contact with the Cerrado (see Nemésio & Faria 2004, Nemésio & Silveira 2007b. The same species found in the Cerrado of Minas Gerais are also present in the riparian forests within the Caatinga semiarid domain, at the margins of the São Franciso river, in the state of Bahia (Neves & Viana 1999), with the exceptions of two species of Eufriesea Cockerell (a genus of relatively rare, highly seasonal species) collected in the latter.…”

“…However, our current knowledge of the biogeographic history and phylogenetic relationships of euglossine bees do not allow us to clearly distinguish if open-forest species at the borders of tropical forest domains such as the Atlantic Forest and the Amazonian Forest invaded the Cerrado or vice-versa. However, the first hypothesis seems to be more reasonable, given that euglossine bees reach their greatest diversity and abundance in rainforest environments (Dressler 1982, Roubik & Hanson 2004, Nemésio & Silveira 2007b Neotrop.,vol. 11,no.…”
