Honey physicochemical properties of three species of the brazilian Melipona
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2012 Physicochemical analyses were carried out to evaluate 27 samples of honeys from three species of the Brazilian genus Melipona (M. capixaba, M. rufiventris and M. mondury) from Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais States.

Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2591-2646, November 2025.Edible insects offer a sustainable protein source, requiring fewer resources than traditional livestock. Despite challenges, they have the potential to enhance food security and sustainability for a growing global population. ABSTRACT As the world faces an escalating protein crisis amid climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity, edible ...

THERMODYNAMICS IN NESTS OF TWO MELIPONA SPECIES IN BRASIL [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 1983 SUMMARY Thermodynamics within 10 nests of Melipona rufiventris and M. seminigra were recorded during 48 horurs with thermocouple probes. Strikingly similar patterns were found for both species. Homeostasis did not occur; temperatures within the brood area, honey and pollen stored in pots and nest cavity space all followed ambient temperature ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1027-1036, November 2025.Both local and landscape factors associated with habitat availability and quality determine the persistence of stingless bees across fragments. Places where the species occurs have local and landscape characteristics distinctive from those where it is absent.

Comparative molecular cytogenetics in Melipona Illiger species (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
Sociobiology, 2018 Cytogenetic studies in Melipona are scarce with only 24 species analyzed cytogenetically. Of these, six species had the rDNA sites physically mapped and characterized by Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (fish).

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation (HLF) are among the major drivers of bee decline, yet closely related species often show contrasting responses depending on their ecological and demographic traits. The Brazilian Cerrado biodiversity hotspot experiences among the world's highest rates of HLF.

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2003 It is unclear whether stingless bees in the genus Melipona (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) can reli- ably encode the distance to a food source through recruitment sounds produced inside the nest, in part because the sound features correlated with distance also vary with food quality.
