An overview of cytogenetics of the tribe Meliponini (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Genetica, 2017 The present study provides a comprehensive review of cytogenetic data on Meliponini and their chromosomal evolution. The compiled data show that only 104 species of stingless bees, representing 32 of the 54 living genera have been studied cytogenetically and that among these species, it is possible to recognize three main groups with n = 9, 15 and 17 ...

Reassessing Hybridisation in Australian Tetragonula Stingless Bees Using Multiple Genetic Markers
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.We reassessed previous reports of hybridisation in Australian stingless bees using multiple SNP markers. We find no evidence for contemporary or recent hybridisation, contrary to prior conclusions based on microsatellite data. ABSTRACT We re‐examined reports of hybridisation in three cryptic stingless bee species in the genus Tetragonula in South East ...

Colony strength and queen replacement in Melipona marginata (Apidae: Meliponini) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2005 Physogastric queens of Melipona marginata were removed from their colonies in order to verify the acceptance of a new queen by workers. Colony strength was evaluated according to queen oviposition rate and comb diameters. Replacement was observed seven times.

Tree traits are a stronger predictor of bee traits and species richness than taxonomic diversity
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 281-292, January 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits help to understand biological diversity and the mechanism by which ecological communities are structured and how they respond to the environment. For example, the high tree species diversity within tropical forests can be grouped into a few functional ...
