Abstract: A geometric morphometrics approach was applied to evaluate differences in forewing patterns of the Jandaira bee (Melipona subnitida Ducke). For this, we studied the presence of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in forewing shape and size of colonies kept in either rational hive boxes or natural tree trunks. We detected significant FA for wing size as well as wing shape independent of the type of housing (rational box or tree trunks), indicating the overall presence of stress during the development of the studied spec… Show more

“…However, these management practices could stress bees, impairing their development, compromising their nutritional condition, and colony production (Ahn et al, 2012;Villas-Bôas, 2012;Simone-Finstrom et al, 2016a;2016b). The stress caused by the transportation process of colonies affects the bee health and causes oxidative stress (Simone-Finstrom et al, 2016a;Glenny et al, 2017), influencing the ontogenetic development of individuals, as observed through the technique known as Fluctuating Asymmetry (FA) (Lima et al, 2016;Banaszak-Cibicka et al, 2018). Developmental noise is considered one of the causes that affect the individual bilaterality (Clarke, 1998;Tomkins & Kotiaho, 2001).…”

“…The FA technique has been used to identify stress in bees during the ontogenic process and has been applied as a bioindicator associated to stress in the presence of pesticides during development in Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758 (Nunes et al, 2015) and in Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides Lepeletier, 1836(Prado-Silva et al, 2018. In addition, the FA is also used to assess differences in stress related to handling in rational boxes and hives in M. subnitida Ducke 1910 (Lima et al, 2016). Thus, FA is a useful and effective technique to infer ontogenetic changes in bees associated to genetic or environmental factors that lead to noise during development (Del Sarto et al, 2014).…”

“…Although a wide range of bee taxa have been studied this way (Aytekin et al, 2007;Tofilski, 2008;Francoy et al, 2009;Owen, 2012;Falamarzi et al, 2016), the stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) have received special attention from bee researchers (Francoy et al, 2009;Combey et al, 2013;Vijayakumar & Jayaraj, 2013). Most approaches have involved the use of GM as a taxonomic or ecological tool to discriminate populations, lineages, species and genera of stingless bees (Francisco et al, 2008;Nunes et al, 2012;Bonatti et al, 2014;Lima et al, 2016;Sousa et al, 2016;Galaschi-Teixeira et al, 2018).…”

“…Geometric morphometrics has proved to be a successful tool in evaluating the taxonomic and population diversity of stingless bees and other taxa (Francoy et al, 2009;Combey et al, 2013;Vijayakumar & Jayaraj, 2013;Rattanawannee et al, 2015;Halcroft et al, 2016;Lima et al, 2016). However, there are no studies evaluating whether both size and shape of wings in different stingless bees are correlated with phylogenetic relationships.…”

“…The level of wing shape asymmetry was determined by coordinates aligned of Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA, Marchand et al, 2003;Lima et al, 2016) as dependent variables in a Procrustes ANOVA, performed using MorphoJ 1.06d (Klingenberg, 2011) and R 3.3.0 (R Development Core Team, 2016) softwares. In this analysis, the individual factor corresponds to the individual variation of shape, and the side factor (right and left) corresponds to directional asymmetry (DA); the interaction between side and individual corresponds to fluctuating asymmetry (FA); and the residue is the error measure, which corresponds to the marking repetitions.…”
