Abstract

This study investigated the morphometric variation in Melipona scutellaris stingless bees rational hive boxes from five states, inserted into the natural range of the species occurrence in northeastern Brazil.  The cluster analysis (UPGMA) showed three distinct groups by determining the cutoff point. The multivariate analysis were performed using MANOVA and Canonical Variables for the shape analysis. The One-Way ANOVA was used to assess differences in centroid size. The results showed population divergence between localities limited by geographical barriers or great distances, corroborating previous observations by the UPGMA. Variation between colonies inter-state was higher that intra-state and, in most cases, Geometric Morphometrics was effective in identifying the origin of colonies transported to other states, observed in the cross-validation analysis that showed more than 70% of classification accuracy. Geometric Morphometrics could be used to evaluate the introduction of colonies within the kindred meliponary.  Natural populations of Melipona scutellaris show a significant variation, which brings important implications to meliponiculture and to conservation strategies for this endangered species.

蜂群迁移对巴西东北部小蜜蜂(膜翅目:蜂科)茧蜂的形态影响
本研究调查了来自五个州的无刺蜂箱的形态计量学变化,这些蜂箱被插入巴西东北部该物种的自然分布范围。聚类分析(UPGMA)通过确定临界点显示了三个不同的组。多变量分析使用MANOVA和标准变量进行形状分析。单因素方差分析用于评估质心大小的差异。结果显示,受地理障碍或远距离限制的地区之间的人口差异,证实了UPGMA先前的观测结果。菌落状态间的差异高于状态内,在大多数情况下,几何形态计量学在识别转移到其他状态的菌落的来源方面是有效的,在交叉验证分析中观察到,该分析显示分类准确率超过70%。几何形态计量学可用于评估在亲缘关系中引入的菌落。盾叶Melipona scutellaris的自然种群表现出显著的变异,这对该濒危物种的养蜂和保护策略具有重要意义。

期刊介绍: SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes high quality articles that significantly contribute to the knowledge of Entomology, with emphasis on social insects. Articles previously submitted to other journals are not accepted. SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes original research papers and invited review articles on all aspects related to the biology, evolution and systematics of social and pre-social insects (Ants, Termites, Bees and Wasps). The journal is currently expanding its scope to incorporate the publication of articles dealing with other arthropods that exhibit sociality. Articles may cover a range of subjects such as ecology, ethology, morphology, population genetics, physiology, toxicology, reproduction, sociobiology, caste differentiation as well as economic impact and pest management.
