A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof-of-Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Weeds as an essential component of sustainable meliponiculture practices in organic agroecosystem
DELOS: DESARROLLO LOCAL SOSTENIBLE, 2023 Knowledge of bee flora is key information for sustainable meliponiculture practices. Aiming to stablish the plant species used by the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula used as food sources during the year in an organic agroecosystem, this study identified the pollen grains in the pollen loads of worker bees.
