The development of honeybees offers a unique opportunity to understand the mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity in which the same genome is capable of guiding the formation of a fertile queen or a worker incapable of mating. The division of reproductive labor between queen and worker is one of the characteristics of eusocial bees, such as honeybees (Apini) and stingless bees (Meliponini). …
Bees from the Apini and Meliponini tribes are recognized for exhibiting eusocial behavior. Eusociality is characterized by the division of reproductive labor between the queen, the fertile female, and the worker, responsible for collecting water and food and feeding the offspring. Among eusocial bees, there is a variability in the reproductive capability of the workers. In Apis mellifera…
This project aims to investigate the role of the mevalonate pathway in the activation of ovaries in honey bees and stingless bees. Eusocial bees have a complex social structure, with division of reproductive labor between queens and workers. In Apis mellifera bees, the queen receives a food rich in sugar and develops functional ovaries and produces many eggs, while the workers have inacti…
The larval development of insects is a period of several transformations and is divided into stages marked by the replacement of the cuticle (ecdyses). Cuticle replacement is associated with an increase in the width of the cephalic capsule and, as feeding is constant, the mass also changes over the course of a stage. In this way, the larva grows as the cuticle is replaced and advances in …
Eusocial bees include the Apini and Meliponini tribes and offer an unique opportunity to unravel the genomic aspects of phenotypic plasticity as a diploid egg (one genome) is capable of originating a worker or a queen (two phenotypes), females with very different morphologies. In the stingless bee species (Meliponini) Frieseomelitta varia, monandric queens have an exclusively reproductive…
In the evolutionary history of bees that belong to Apidae family, the transition from a primitive to an advanced social organization probably occurred in two independent events, one in the honey bee group (Apini) and another in the stingless bee group (Meliponini). In both groups, eusociality is characterized by cooperative care of offspring, overlapping generations and division of labor …

Based on regulatory function of miRNAS, the aim of Flávia's PhD project (FAPESP Process No. 2010/08332-4) is identify interactions between microRNAs and target RNAs that control female embryonic development of Apis mellifera. Thus, we built mRNAs and small RNAs libraries for five embryonic developmental phases: clivage, blastula, gastrulation, germ-band extension and retraction, and larva…
