Stingless Bees of Costa Rica

open access: yes, 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.

Advancements in Alginate‐Based Biomaterials for Enhanced Skin Regeneration: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Alginate, a naturally occurring polysaccharide composed of β‐d‐mannuronate (M) and α‐l‐guluronate (G), has attracted widespread attention for skin regeneration applications due to its exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, and tunable physicochemical properties. Beyond its traditional role in maintaining a moist wound environment and providing

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof‐of‐Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Hygienic behaviour in Brazilian stingless bees

open access: yesBiology 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 ...

Honeybees Collecting Latex From Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) in Puerto Rico Reveal a Novel Interaction With Broad Eco‐Evolutionary Implications

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This article showcases a unique natural history observation of honeybees collecting latex from the breadfruit tree (Artocarpus altilis), both nonnative species in Puerto Rico. This represents a unique interaction and here we explore how this behavior may come about in novel ecosystems.

An unusually large and persistent male swarm of the stingless bee Tetragonula laeviceps in Thailand (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
At an entrance of a nest of Tetragonula laeviceps (Smith) located in Chiang Mai University campus we observed a male swarm that lasted for at least 40 consecutive days and contained more than 7000 males each time on several days. Surprisingly, harvesting

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

Citizens Turning Into Scientists: A Calling to Boost the Knowledge of the Public to Address the Environmental Crisis in the Brazilian Semiarid 从公众到科学家:助力提升公众知识以应对巴西半干旱地区环境危机

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 546-554, December 2025.
Desertification is increasing in the Brazilian Semiarid, leading to loss of species and ecosystem services, while precise data on biodiversity distribution and trends are lacking. Public engagement in scientific projects can improve ecosystem protection.
