Genetic variability of behaviorin Melipona quadrifasciata(Hymenoptera: Meliponinae)

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

Observation colonies containing only young workers from 10 matrix colonies were set up to investigate the genetic aspects involved in task division in Melipona quadrifasciata. Wide variation among origins was observed for all behaviors analyzed, but these differences were significant only for brood cell construction and propolis preparation
