Perfume production in flowers of Angelonia salicariifolia attracts males of Euglossa annectans which do not promote pollination

Abstract: International audienceAbstractMale Euglossini bees (Apidae) forage for floral and non-floral perfumes. Although the use of these perfumes has not yet been clearly reported, there are indications of using perfume from varied exogenous sources as a pheromone analogue since male orchid bees do not produce it. Here, we report an interaction between male Euglossa annectans and flowers of Angelonia salicariifolia (Plantaginaceae). Floral anatomy analysis and a histological study of two different sets of trichomes in… Show more

“…Therefore, the presence of structures that are responsible for the synthesis and release of scent in their floral organs is expected. The vast majority of studies refer to such scent glands as epithelial osmophores (Vogel, ; Endress, ; Marinho et al ., ), with rare reports of trichomes acting in the long‐distance attraction of pollinators (see Vogel, ; Stpiczyńska, ; Guimarães, Di Stasi & Maimoni‐Rodella, ; Wiemer et al ., ; Naidoo et al ., ; Chwil et al ., ; Nadia, Menezes & Machado, ; Marinho et al ., ; Marques et al ., ; Pansarin & Pansarin, ; Boff et al ., ).…”

“…The genus Angelonia originates in the Neotropical region, which covers the area from central Mexico to the southern tip of South America (BOFF et al, 2014). The emergence of different species is not yet fully understood (PLASCHIL and OLBRICHT, 2008;GOSCH et al, 2014), with report of approximately 50 species (TROPICOS, 2018), and differences related to the shape and color of the flower, ranging between blue, violet, white and pink (GOSCH et al, 2014).…”
