Diploid male production of two amazonian melipona bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
The diploid male has already been recorded for Melipona Illger, and herein, in Melipona seminigra merrillae Cockerell and Melipona interrupta manaosensis Schwarz. This paper was carried out at the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia (INPA), Manaus, AM, Brazil. We produced and monitored 31 ne...

This paper was carried out at the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia (INPA), Manaus, AM, Brazil. We produced and monitored 31 new colonies of M. s. merrillae and 32 new colonies of M. i. manaosensis. We sampled 2,995 pupae of M. s. merrillae and 2,020 of M. i. manaosensis. In colonies with a 1:1 sex ratio, male diploidy was confirmed by cytogenetic analysis and workers' behavior. We estimated 16 sex-determining alleles in M. s. merrillae and 22 in M. i. manaosensis. In colonies of M. i. manaosensis in a 1:1 sex ratio, workers killed the males and the queen that produced them soon after they emerged, as predicted. This behavior was not registered for M. s. merrillae, and sex ratios did not stay 1:1, indicating polyandry for this species. © Copyright 2012 Izaura Bezerra Francini et al. 2020-05-25T19:10:47Z 2020-05-25T19:10:47Z 2012 Artigo https://repositorio.inpa.gov.br/handle/1/16150 10.1155/2012/484618 en Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/ application/pdf Psyche (London) |
