DNA Barcoding of Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in Northern Peruvian Forests: A Plea for Integrative Taxonomy

Diversity, 2022
Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) are among the most important pollinators of tropical forests. Peru is considered a hotspot of biodiversity of Meliponini, but many areas of this country (e.g., Peruvian Amazon) remain unexplored.

Raising native bees: an agroecological pedagogy with roots

Revista Brasileira de Educação do Campo, 2022
There is a general consensus on the need for agroecological scaling up as an alternative to the crisis generated by the unsustainability of the industrial agriculture model and even more so in the current context of a health pandemic.

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross-scale approach. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

Climate Change Effect on <i>Haematoxylum campechianum</i> and <i>Haematoxylum calakmulense</i> (Fabaceae): Are We Losing Our Natural Heritage in South-Eastern Mexico? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Climate change threatens biodiversity and the balance of ecosystems, specifically in key species. It seems that Haematoxylum calakmulense will lose more suitable areas than Haematoxylum campehianum in the future. Our results should be considered in current and future reforestation plans to improve their efficiency.

Efficiency of trap nests in attracting stingless bees in the central Brazilian Amazon

Acta Amazonica, 2022
Obtaining colonies of stingless bees in the wild for the formation or expansion of meliponaries and other purposes is permitted by law in Brazil using bait containers or trap nests, and other non-destructive methods.

ASPECTS OF MELIPONICULTURE WITH EMPHASIS ON THE GENUS SCAPTOTRIGONA

Scientia Agraria Paranaensis, 2022
Meliponiculture is the rational exploitation of stingless bees, in which different species of bees are exploited. This diversity ensures differences in morphological and biological aspects, nesting habits, resource gathering behaviors, defense and productivity.

Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) at risk in western Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 829-838, July 2022., 2022
We found a total of 14 stingless bee species, including two new records for the region. We identified three types of bee assemblages: one in hot lowland climates with tropical dry forest vegetation, one in temperate highland climates with mixed oak‐pine forest vegetation, and one in the warm ecotone with mixed subdeciduous forest vegetation between the

The role of agroforestry in restoring Brazil's Atlantic Forest: Opportunities and challenges for smallholder farmers

People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 462-480, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Restoring the degraded Atlantic Forest is one of the biggest conservation challenges in Brazil. In a biome with high human presence, understanding the potential for restoration approaches, such as agroforestry, to provide benefits to smallholder farmers and biodiversity is essential in developing equitable restoration strategies.
