Bees share haplodiploidy and sex determination mechanisms with others hymenopterans. Such traits limit the effective population size and this reduction is more intense in eusocial species. Furthermore, colony fission mode of social bees and nest reuse or nesting behavior close to the home site by solitary females restrict gene flow and cause high population viscosity. This work aims to te…
The genus Partamona Schwarz, 1939 groups 33 species of stingless bees that occur in Neotropical zones from southern Brazil to southern Mexico. Species of the group are morphologically quite similar, resulting in a shortage of representative morphological characters for the establishment of phylogenetic relationships. Molecular analyses conducted by our group showed relationships among spe…
Stingless bees of the genus Partamona Schwarz, 1939 occur from southern Mexico to southern Brazil. Partamona rustica Camargo and Pedro 2003 is a species of social bee endemic to the dry forests of the Cerrado and Caatinga biomes in Brazil, distributed from the northern portion of the state of Minas Gerais to the southwestern portion of the state of Bahia. This bee nests on arboreal termit…
Many animal species form communal nocturnal roosts. A number of potential benefits have been suggested for this behavior, including protection against predators, thermoregulation, the aggregation of conspecific males facilitating the attraction of females, and the synchronous rearing or development of offspring. However, such aggregations may also entail costs, such as an increase in comp…
The habitat fragmentation negatively affects the population size of stingless bees, resulting in the loss of genetic variability. In fact, the effective population size of hymenopteran species can be reduced by reasons of their own biology traits, such as, the haplodiploidy, eusociality, sex determination (csd locus), the monadry of the female, and the process of the colony reproduction b…

The current disjunction between South American rainforests was caused by changes on the vegetation which were guided by changes on the Earth´s climate since middle Tertiary (23 Mybp). This disjunction was expedited during glacial events in Pleistocene (1.6 Mybp) which resulted on the increase of the aridity in the tropical portion of South America. These events led to the modification of …
