Insights into the heterochromatin evolution in the genus Melipona (Apidae: Meliponini)
Insectes Sociaux, 2020The species of the four Melipona subgenera can be subdivided into two cytogenetic groups: species belonging to Group I are characterized by having low heterochromatin content in their karyotypes ( 50%). To study the patterns of heterochromatin accumulation in this genus, we isolated moderate to highly repetitive sequences in M.

Stingless bees of the genus Nannotrigona Cockerell (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) in Colombia
Zootaxa, 2019Nannotrigona Cockerell is one of the few stingless bee genera widely distributed and commonly encountered throughout the Neotropical region. Some species are abundant and managed in meliponiculture. However, the identity and number of species occurring in some countries or areas is almost entirely unknown. Herein we reviewed the species of Nannotrigona

INTEGUMENTAL MICROSTRUCTURES OF STINGLESS BEES (APOIDEA: APIDAE: MELIPONINI)
Entomologica Americana, 2021Herein, microstructures (setae, spicules, and multi-pronged spicules) found on 1) the outer surfaces of mature larvae of stingless bees (Meliponini) and 2) the posterior surfaces of the hind legs of adult workers of these same bees are described, anatomically compared, and their functions assessed.

Effectiveness of recruitment behavior in stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini)
Insectes Sociaux, 2003We examined the ability of stingless bees to recruit nest mates to a food source (i) in group foraging species laying pheromone trails from the food to the nest (Trigona recursa Smith, T. hypogea Silvestri, Scaptotrigona depuis Moure), (ii) in solitary foraging species with possible but still doubtful communication of food location inside the nest ...

New Record of Stingless Bees (Meliponini: Trigona) in Thailand
Tropical Natural History, 2005Stingless bees, of which over 500 species are recorded, are found mostly in tropical countries. Species are classified into five genera: Melipona, Trigona, Meliponula, Dectylurina and Lestrimelitta. Trigona is an extensive genus of the Meliponini tribe found in tropical regions of all continents.

Contribution to the taxonomy of Oxytrigona Cockerell, 1917 (Apidae, Meliponini)
ZootaxaThe stingless bees of the genus Oxytrigona Cockerell are popularly known as “fire bees”, due to their unique habit of spitting a caustic secretion when disturbed. Currently, this neotropical genus includes 11 valid species distributed from southern Brazil, throughout most of South and Central America, reaching southern Mexico.

Morphometric Analysis in Stingless Bee (Apidae meliponini) Diversity
2022Insects occur in large numbers. Therefore, it is important to have a system to identify the different species of insects. Traditional morphological identification of insects requires an experienced entomologist while molecular techniques require laboratory expertise and involve substantial costs.

Floral Resource Utilization by Stingless Bees (Apidae, Meliponini)
2005In this chapter, we examine patterns of floral resource utilization, mechanisms of floral resource partitioning, and foraging responses to general flowering (GF) according to studies on coexisting stingless bee species in the Lambir Hills National Park, or, LHNP (Nagamitsu and Inoue 1997b, 1998, 2002; Nagamitsu et al. 1999b).
