DNA Barcoding applied to the identification of Meliponini in the Lençóis Maranhenses microregion, Brazil.

Abstract excerpt

Stingless bees (Meliponini) are essential pollinators widely distributed in tropical regions, playing a crucial role in ecosystem maintenance. In Brazil, they are found throughout the national territory. DNA barcoding has emerged as an effective tool for species identification and genetic diversity assessment, especially in areas affected by anthropogenic activities. This study aimed to identify and characterize...
