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 ...

Electroantennography in the study of two stingless bee species (Hymenoptera: meliponini) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2004 The first recorded electroantennographic preliminary studies on stingless bees have been performed using two species of Frieseomelitta from Brazil. Experiments with F. silvestrii and F. varia showed that antennae respond to hexane extracts of heads and abdomens of both species and posterior tibia of F.

Toxicological assessments of agrochemical effects on stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini)
MethodsX, 2020 Bee pollination is crucial for ecosystem maintenance and crop production. The ubiquity of bee pollinators in agricultural landscapes frequently results in their exposure to agrochemicals, which has been associated with their decline. Stingless bees are wild pollinators restricted to the Pantropical region, and like honey bees, are suffering colony ...

DNA Barcoding applied to the identification of Meliponini in the Lençóis Maranhenses microregion, Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyStingless bees (Meliponini) are essential pollinators widely distributed in tropical regions, playing a crucial role in ecosystem maintenance. In Brazil, they are found throughout the national territory. DNA barcoding has emerged as an effective tool for
