| Abstract: | Oligolectic bees and their association with Ipomoea pandurata and its allied species were studied in North America. Cemolobus ipomoeae was found to be closely related to Ipomoea pandurata; Melitoma grisella has been shown to be linked with Ipomoea leptophylla; Ptilothrix sumichrasti was found with Ipomoea longifolia. The exact relationships between each bee species and each plant species are different. |
