Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2312-2345, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

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 Bee Honey and Honeybee Honey Characteristics in Relation to Anticancer Potential

IIUM Medical Journal Malaysia, 2021
Introduction: The composition of the honey depends on the intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including place of origin, the floral types, the season and the storage conditions. This study compared the anticancer potential, quality, antioxidant and phytochemical between unprocessed stingless bee honey (SBH) and honeybee honey (HBH) from the same ...

Insect floral visitors vary spatiotemporally and influence fruit production in mango orchards

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1121-1136, December 2025.
Native stingless bees (Tetragonula spp.) were the most abundant flower visitors in mango orchards, and their visitation sharply declined with distance from native vegetation. Hover flies and stingless bees showed complementary spatiotemporal visitation patterns, but hover flies could not fully offset pollination loss deeper in the orchard.

Detection of Peanut Contamination in Wheat Flour Using a Digital Light Processing (DLP) Based Near‐Infrared Spectrometer and Ensemble Machine Learning

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 48, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study underscores two key outcomes. First, under controlled laboratory conditions, the handheld DLPNIR spectrometer produced repeatable, low‐noise spectral data characterized by smooth band structures and consistent performance across cross‐validation folds.

Simple and Rapid Characterization of Sarawak Stingless Bee Honey Using Melissopalynological and ATR-FTIR Analysis

Food Analytical Methods
Stingless bee honey (SBH) is gaining popularity for its unique flavour and potential nutritional and health benefits. Due to its low yield, SBH is usually more expensive than common honey.

Sequence and expression pattern of the germ line marker vasa in honey bees and stingless bees [PDF]

, 2009
Queens and workers of social insects differ in the rates of egg laying. Using genomic information we determined the sequence of vasa, a highly conserved gene specific to the germ line of metazoans, for the honey bee and four stingless bees.

Native ants learn how to deal with cues of invasive species: responses to footprints of invasive ants are shaped by experience

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Invasive ants threaten biodiversity worldwide. They may benefit from being novel if native species fail to show appropriate responses to their cues. Cues include chemical footprints (or ‘home‐range markings' in ants) left by all walking insects, which resemble cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs).

Communication in the honey bees and stingless bees

, 2023
The social structure of a bee colony, in which thousands of individuals interact, is partly based on communication between bees. It is involved in controlling many primary needs such as nutrition, reproduction and even defense. Means of communication between bees differ according to species and tribes. Honey bees are able to emit pheromones which allow
