Differential insecticide susceptibility of the Neotropical stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata and the honey bee Apis mellifera

The high effective number of laying queens (5) that we found in this rare polygyne colony was re- markable, given that even in M. bicolor, the aver- age effective number of laying

In the 2DE maps, the spot distribution of the head and thorax salivary glands showed different protein expression patterns, evidencing a lower number of soluble proteins in the

Here, we have profiled the small RNAs of fourth to sixth day worker and queen larvae using deep sequencing and qRT-PCR to explore the mechanism of caste determination and found that

anthidioides and two populations with continuous tergal stripes, one from northern Minas Gerais another from Sergipe and northeastern Bahia, ranging from São Paulo up to the

At least in vertebrates, functional structures within this region have been identified across a wide number of species namely highly conserved sequences associated with the

The migration dances differed from wag- gle dances observed during the swarming peri- ods and exhibited many of the same character- istics previously described for tropical honey

Previous experiments on foraging distances in stingless bees have predominantly used either ar- tificial feeders, where workers are trained to feed on and recruit to nectar
