Estoy muy feliz, acabo de describí una nueva especie de strepsiptero para México!!
Se trata de Halictoxenos fortunatus, una especie que parasita a Lasioglossum exiguum, una especie de abeja endémica de México! 🐝
Pueden solitar el escritorio en este link: researchgate.net/publication…

Me mandaron este video de Euglossas macho visitando flores de Stanhopea. La particular forma de estas flores permite que las abejas colecten aceites y a su vez carguen con el polinio para llevarlo a otra flor. También parece que las abejas utilizan la flor como resbaladilla. ☺️🐝

Can’t stop thinking about this Trilobite Beetle we found in Borneo a few years ago. WHAT IS THIS DINOSAUR!? 🦖

Found a second population of Dianthidium. A lot of them at this one! Here are two I found copulating!

We just published a paper on wild bees of Pennsylvania! @mmlopezu @Dr_Pollinator
We monitored bees for 6 years and learned all about seasonal differences in bee communities and changes in populations over time.
Blog post all about what we learned 👇

Super weird Melissodes. Not the best pics, but I didn’t have a cork to stick the pins into!

My first phylogeny research, which is about the host shift and body size evolution of cuckoo bees (Subfamily Nomadinae), is now available in Scientific reports ◡̈ nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Oh FFS! Honeybees did not evolve to pollinate blueberries. This is just another kind of monoculture that will have have catastrophic consequences for native bees.
N.S. government gives $100,000 to blueberry growers who use bees for pollination atlantic.ctvnews.ca/n-s-gove…

A rare find here at the market in San Isidro! Honey from three native species of stingless honeybees! #PollinatorWeek

Instead of showing me your diversity statement, show me your hiring data, your discrimination claim stats, your salary tables, your retention numbers, your diversity policies, and your leaders’ public actions against racism.
End performative allyship.

Les comparto estas fotos de una de mis abejas favoritas, Exaerete sp. Una abeja cleptoparásita de la tribu Euglossini, que suele atacar nidos de Eufriesea. Estas abejas, a pesar de su comportamiento, también son importantes polinizadoras de orquídeas, como son las Stanhopeas!🐝✨
