Transvestism Hypothesis: a Cross-Sex Source of Morphological Variation for the Evolution of Parasitism Among Sweat Bees (Hymenoptera: Halictidae)?
Brood parasitism has evolved repeatedly in insects, and is especially diverse within bees. Little attention has been given to the evolution of structural modiÞcations associated with parasitism, in contrast to behavior. Female parasitic bees tend to converge on a suite of characters, some of which may involve loss of characters associated with pollen-collecting or nest-making, whereas others ma...
متن کاملTwo new species of nocturnal bees of the genus Megalopta (Hymenoptera: Halictidae) with keys to species.
Megalopta Smith, 1853, is a Neotropical genus of nocturnal or crepuscular bees. Two subgenera are recognized with most of its nearly 30 species placed in the nominate subgenus. Species of Megalopta s. str. are more commonly collected than species of Noctoraptor Engel et al. 1997, all presumably parasites of Megalopta s. str. Two new species of Megalopta are described here: M. (Megalopta) tetewa...

متن کاملBees of the genus Sphecodes Latreille 1804 of Siberia, with a key to species (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Halictidae).
Twenty-one species of the bee genus Sphecodes Latreille are recorded from Siberia. Sphecodes schwarzi Astafurova & Proshchalykin, sp. nov. is described from Tyva Republic and Mongolia (Dornod Aimag).

متن کاملA review of deviant phenotypes in bees in relation to brood parasitism, and a gynandromorph of Megalopta genalis (Hymenoptera: Halictidae)
We review the occurrence of gynandromorphy in 64 species of bee, and describe the abnormal traits as deviations from the male or female wild-type. Phenodeviants occur at approximately equal frequency among the main body regions (head, thorax, metasoma). Cross-sex expression of character states occur more often among females (i.e. deviant expression of male-like traits) than among males (i.e. de...
