This catalog of the published literature on stingless bees from the Indo-
Malayan/Australasian region was compiled from 520 references and deals with 129 …

We see today many efforts to quantify biodiversity in different biomes. It is very important
then to develop and to apply other methodologies that allow us to assess biodiversity. Here …

Melipona subnitida, a tropical stingless bee, is an endemic species of the Brazilian northeast
and exhibits great potential for honey and pollen production in addition to its role as one of …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia with
impaired carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism caused by defects in insulin secretion or …

At present a complete mtDNA sequence has been reported for only two hymenopterans, the
Old World honey bee, Apis mellifera and the sawfly Perga condei. Among the bee group, the …

Geometric morphometrics and molecular methods are effective tools to study the variability
of stingless bee populations and species that merit protection given their worldwide decline …

Stingless bees are important pollinators of cultivated and wild plants, contributing
significantly to biodiversity and food security. Conserving pollinator plant interactions is …

Genetic diversity is a major component of the biological diversity of an ecosystem. The
survival of a population may be seriously threatened if its genetic diversity values are low. In …

Many factors have contributed to reductions in wild populations of stingless bees, such as:
deforestation, displacement and destruction of nests by honey gatherers, as well as use of …

The present study characterised the population genetic structure of Plebeia remota through
