A scientific note on mtDNA gene order rearrangements among highly eusocial bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae)

This food-alert behavior is similar to the excitatory zigzag and jostling behaviors performed by foragers of several meliponine species, including species that do not communicate

The comparisons of occurrences and abundances within three mosaics of forest and extensive arboreal crops (piassava palm, oil palm, and rubber tree) showed that all the matrices

Seed production was very low in the con- trol enclosure without pollinators in com- parison with that in the enclosures provided with bees (Tab. Comparison of the three bee

Among the many Hymenoptera and other insects col- lected on two biological diversity survey expeditions conducted by the Smithsonian Institution at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Horn

In Hymenoptera (ants, wasps, bees), sex determina- tion is controlled by haplodiploidy, with fertilized eggs giving rise to diploid females and unfertilized eggs to haploid

To test this, we recorded the arrival times of recruits and trained foragers at the experimental feeder in all experiments (T. angustula recruited too few nest mates)..

The Neotropical species Tetragonisca angustula is known to use both flying guards and stationary guards immediately inside and outside of the nest entrance tube.. These separate

On the other hand, for some stingless bee species analyzed herein, the differ- ences in the haploid genome size of males and females were not significant, as has been reported for
