Evidence of separate karyotype evolutionary pathway in Euglossa orchid bees by cytogenetic analyses

Euglossini are solitary bees considered important pollinators of many orchid species. Information regarding chromosome organization is available for only a small number of species in this group. In the present work, the species Euglossa townsendi and E. carolina were analyzed by cytogenetic techniqu...
