- Genetic analysis of wild drone congregations of the stingless bee Scaptotrigona mexicana (Hymenoptera: Apidae) reveals a high number of colonies in a natural protected area in Southern Mexico Daniel Sánchez Rémy Vandame Frank B. Kraus Biología DNA Males Meliponine Microsatellite markers In this study, drone congregations of the stingless bee Scaptotrigona mexicana Guérin were genetically analyzed at 5 microsatellite loci to estimate the number of colonies of this species in the La Sepultura Biosphere Reserve, in Chiapas, Mexico. A total of 216 drones from 3 congregations were analyzed. We found that the 3 congregations had enough genetic differences to be considered as coming from different populations. The average number (± SD) of colonies per congregation was 19.8 ± 0.63, 17.6 ± 0.70 and 12. A similar result was reported for areas where stingless beekeeping occurs. We discuss the implications of our findings in a conservation framework in which stingless beekeeping might play a significant role. 2018 artículo científico 1870-3453 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42559253019 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/425/42559253019/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/425/42559253019/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/425/42559253019/42559253019.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/425/42559253019/movil 10.22201/ib.20078706e.2018.1.2105 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=425 Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad (México) Num.1 Vol.89
