Data from: Australian Lasioglossum + Homalictus Form a Monophyletic Group: Resolving the "Australian Enigma"
The bee genus Lasioglossum includes over 1000 species of bees distributed on all continents except Antarctica. Lasioglossum is a major component of the bee fauna in the Holarctic, Ethiopian, and Oriental regions, and is an important group for investigating the evolution of social behavior in bees. G...
