Roadmap to Good Article:


Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
  • Article requests : Expansion of Passiflora pollination. Information appears to be available in older sources.
  • Cleanup : Rewrite life cycle section to avoid blockquote. First rewrite failed to change the original text, hence the direct quote per citation best practices
  • Expand : Hurd (1955) anecdote about bees arriving in the west from Hawaii in lumber; Discuss more about the role of X. sonorina in primary and secondary nectar robbery, and how X. sonorina may help A. mellifera in this endeavor.
  • Update : Move Tenorio & Nishida (1995) pp.74-76 into article from further reading. This includes key points related to description, evidence, impact, food, location, prevention, and control of X. sonorina.
  • Verify : Taxonomy of Xylocopa brasilianorum sonorina. Synonym or different species?(Note: this link appears to show brasilianorum as an older synonym) Is there any sequencing and genomic analysis of X. varipuncta and X. sonorina? If so, this might provide one answer to the question. Or not?
