Side effects of a fungus-based biopesticide on stingless bee guarding behaviour.
Chemosphere, 2021 Pathogenic fungi have been used worldwide to control crop pests and are assumed to pose negligible threats to the survival of pollinators. Although eusocial stingless bees provide essential pollination services and might be exposed to these biopesticides

, 2012 The keeping of stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini) or meliponiculture is carried out in a rustic and traditional way in Costa Rica. This is an activity present in several regions of the country, especially among the inhabitants of rural areas, mostly on the Pacific coast rather than the Atlantic region.

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 Stingless bees are the largest group of eusocial bees in the world. They play an essential role as crop pollinators and have been considered for inclusion in pesticide risk assessments (RAs). Beyond the mutualism involving stingless bee larvae and fungi,

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract As biocultural approaches to conservation gain traction (e.g., through international commitments to Indigenous Peoples and local communities) and external conservation actors increasingly seek to engage with on‐the‐ground holders of biocultural diversity, improved understanding is needed of what biocultural diversity means.

Nesting stingless bees in urban areas: a reevaluation after eight years
Sociobiology, 2016 Studies of nesting ecology have proven to be extremely important for stingless bee conservation. These studies have rarely been conducted in urban landscapes, and even fewer have compared species diversity and abundances over time.

Hygienic behaviour in Brazilian stingless bees
Biology Open, 2016 ABSTRACT Social insects have many defence mechanisms against pests and pathogens. One of these is hygienic behaviour, which has been studied in detail in the honey bee, Apis mellifera. Hygienic honey bee workers remove dead and diseased larvae and pupae from sealed brood cells, thereby reducing disease transfer within the colony ...

Socio‐psychological determinants of beekeeper conflict with bee‐eaters
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.This study investigates factors influencing beekeepers’ use of lethal control against native bee‐eaters in Iran using the theory of planned behavior. Experience, social norms, intentions, and economic dependence significantly predicted using lethal control methods.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This paper will contribute to include/use the bees' floral preference (floral traits related to bee' visitations) to find and validate genetic markers that would enable breeding high‐yielding cashew plants and preserving pollinators. ABSTRACT In Sub‐Saharan Africa, cashew plants face challenges in suitable pollination and good agronomic performances ...
