A thorough, data-driven look at how corbiculate bees evolved, with new insights into their social history and biology.
This special publication presents a detailed study of the tribal relationships among corbiculate bees, combining morphological data and molecular evidence to test how advanced eusociality may have evolved. The work emphasizes data from 16 shared taxa and compares character states across both physical traits and genetic sequences, while carefully avoiding circular reasoning about social behavior. It also honors notable figures in bee systematics and offers context for readers interested in evolutionary biology, phylogeny, and the history of entomology.
