Abstract: Partamona seridoensis is an endemic stingless bee from the Caatinga, a Neotropical dry forest in northeastern Brazil. Like other stingless bees, this species plays an important ecological role as a pollinator. The aim of the present study was to investigate the genetic structure and evolutionary history of P. seridoensis across its current geographic range. Workers from 84 nests from 17 localities were analyzed for COI and Cytb genic regions. The population structure tests (Bayesian phylogenetic inference, AMO… Show more

“…A high haplotype diversity was observed for the COI and 16S haplotypes distribution (Hd = 0.885 and 0.842, respectively), but a low and moderate average number of nucleotide substitutions between COI and 16S haplotypes (k = 13.32 and 3.668, respectively), considering the analysed samples. The average number of nucleotide substitutions was higher when compared to those previously reported in other stingless bees, such as Partamona rustica and P. seridoensis (Miranda et al 2016;Miranda et al 2017). This maybe could be associated to an older origin of the genus Schwarziana relative to Partamona (Rasmussen and Cameron 2010).…”

“…Bale monkeys are one of the least-studied African primates [ 25 ]. Therefore, baseline data on their phylogenetic position, population genetic structure and evolutionary history are crucial for assessing the conservation status of the taxon and for designing and implementing effective management strategies [ 7 , 27 – 30 ]. Hence, we aimed to investigate the phylogeography and genetic diversity of Bale monkeys using the hypervariable region I (HVI) of the mitochondrial (mtDNA) control region (CR).…”

“…The two closest collection sites are located 40 km apart (Altos and Campo Maior), while the most distant are 670 km apart (Parnaíba and Serra Talhada). The Caatinga biome covers nearly 85,000 km 2 of the northeast region, belongs to the seasonally dry tropical forests phytogeographic unit [ 15 ], and is a species-rich xeric environment [ 16 , 17 ].…”
