1. Insights into the dynamics of hind leg development in honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) queen and worker larvae - A morphology/differential gene expression analysis
Phenotypic plasticity is a hallmark of the caste systems of social insects, expressed in their life history and morphological traits. These are best studied in bees. In their co-evolution with angiosperm plants, the females of corbiculate bees have acquired a specialized structure on their hind legs for collecting pollen. In the highly eusocial bees (Apini a

2. Ultrastructure of anterior midgut region in corbiculate bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) / Ultra-estrutura da região anterior do intestino médio em abelhas corbiculadas (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
A membrana peritrófica forma uma camada fina que reveste o intestino médio dos insetos separando o alimento do epitélio do intestino, tem função mecânica e função de barreira física contra infestação de microorganismos. Considerando que a membrana peritrófica tem sua origem discutida nas abelhas este trabalho analisou a ultra-estrutura da porçã

3. Mitochondrial tRNA gene translocations in highly eusocial bees
Mitochondrial gene rearrangement events, especially involving tRNA genes, have been described more frequently as more complete mitochondrial genome sequences are becoming available. In the present work, we analyzed mitochondrial tRNA gene rearrangements between two bee species belonging to the tribes Apini and Meliponini within the "corbiculate Apidae". Elev

4. Evolution of sociality in a primitively eusocial lineage of bees
Eusociality is a major evolutionary innovation involving alterations in life history, morphology, and behavior. Advanced eusocial insects, such as ants, termites, and corbiculate bees, cannot provide insights into the earliest stages of eusocial evolution because eusociality in these taxa evolved long ago (in the Cretaceous) and close solitary relatives
