A comprehensive molecular phylogenetic analysis based on ∼4.0 kb of DNA from four loci across the entire tribe Euglossini indicates that the cleptoparasitic genus Exaerete is sister to the remaining orchid bee genera, and divergence time estimates indicate that extant orchid bees lineages shared a most recent common ancestor at 27–42 Mya.
Influence of Geographical Distribution and Floral Traits on Species Richness of Bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) Visiting Echium Species (Boraginaceae) of the Canary Islands
In this study, widespread species of Echium were visited by a larger fraction of EChium‐visiting bee taxa than were rare species, suggesting plant commonness per se may act as a strong attractant of bees.

The species closely resemble E. asarophora Moure & Sakagami, which can be distingui shed by the red color of the h ind tibia, and biological information for both species is summarized.

The formation of tumor colonies was compared in the lungs of athymic nude and normal littermate mice after an iv injection of transplantable syngeneic tumor cells. Each of 5 tumors tested formed…

It is suggested that small numbers of thymus-dependent cells which survive irradiation and thymectomy or which may be present in the bone marrow may be sufficient to mount an immune response to L. donovani in mice, and that T cells play an important role in acquired resistance to the parasite.

Limiting dilution experiments showed that constant minimal numbers of LNC combined with graded numbers of thymocytes, or vice versa, conferred greater protection than expected from the additive effect of both cell types acting independently.
