Hurd PD and Linsley EG. 1975. The principal Larrea bees of the southwestern United States (Hymenoptera: Apoidea). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology. 193:1-74
This investigation focuses primarily on those ecological and evolutionary aspects involved in the natural history of the bees which depend upon the pollen, nectar, or both of the creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) in North America or their survival either as species or for their maintenance in viable populations. This bee-plant (bee-flower) association is examined principally by analyses of the intrafloral, geographic, diurnal, and seasonal interrelationships that exist between this fauna of bees and the plant.
