Human-mediated dispersal of <i>Geniotrigona thoracica</i> (Apidae: Meliponini) colonies promotes high genetic diversity and reduces population structuring in managed populations. [PDF]
PeerJThe stingless bee Geniotrigona thoracica is a key managed pollinator in Southeast Asia, valued for its honey, propolis, and colony trade. In Thailand, frequent human-mediated movement of colonies raises concerns about its effects on genetic diversity and

Analysis of the Mitogenomes of Two Helotid Species Provides New Insights into the Phylogenetic Relationship of the Basal Cucujoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera). [PDF]
Biology (Basel), 2023 Helotid beetles are commonly found in places where sap flows from tree trunks and in crevices in bark. The Helotidae family is a rare and primitive group of Cucujoidea. To date, no complete mitochondrial (mt) genome has been sequenced for this family. To

Rapid Authentication of Intact Stingless Bee Honey (SBH) by Portable LED-Based Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Chemometrics. [PDF]
FoodsIndonesian stingless bee honey (SBH) of Geniotrigona thoracica is popular and traded at an expensive price. Brown rice syrup (RS) is frequently used as a cheap adulterant for an economically motivated adulteration (EMA) in SBH.

Viability and fertility of hybrid New Zealand tree wētā Hemideina spp. (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae) [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2018 Natural hybridization between species provides an opportunity to study the mechanisms that maintain independent lineages and may help us understand the process of speciation. The New Zealand tree wētā species Hemideina thoracica produces F1 hybrids where
