The shift to a pollen diet and the evolution of more highly organized societies, i.e., eusocial, were key milestones in bee diversification over their evolutionary history, culminating in a high dependence on feeding broods with a large variety of floral resources. Here, we hypothesized that obligatory eusocial bees have a wider diet diversity than...

Bees are essential pollinating insects that significantly contribute to crop production. However, the use of pesticides in modern agriculture has resulted in bees being exposed to a plethora of harmful substances. Larvae of bees are particularly susceptible to exposure, as they can consume contaminated larval food during development. This study opp...

Eucalyptus comprises the largest planted area of cultivated production forest in Brazil. Genetic modification (GM) of eucalyptus can provide additional characteristics for increasing productivity and protecting wood yield, as well as potentially altering fiber for a diversity of industrial uses. However, prior to releasing a new GM plant, risk asse...

This book aims to provide information on pollination and the importance of pollinators for blueberries in South America, mainly in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Below are to download the versions in: Portuguese: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7770381 Spanish: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7770394 English: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7770399

A criação de abelhas-sem-ferrão tem crescido em popularidade no Brasil. Muitas dessas abelhas são manejadas em colmeias racionais, o que facilita sua criação e manejo em larga escala e, consequentemente, sua comercialização e seu transporte em nível nacional. Como são organismos com área de distribuição natural restrita a determinados ambientes, re...

Resumo: Este trabalho objetiva identificar como os professores e a comunidade do território percebem os saberes e práticas locais e sua relevância, ou não, para a escola. A ideia de território congrega cosmovisões, relações de poder, forma de resiliência, saberes e práticas sociais, sentido de participação e identidade. De caráter qualitativo, tomo...

Most cultivars of apple trees are highly dependent on insects for successful pollination and fruit production. In this study, we evaluated the insect diversity in apple orchards of southern Brazil and verified whether or not there is a relationship between the diversity of insect visitors and the characteristics (weight, seed number, and symmetry)...

Em 2017, vivenciou-se uma drástica mudança no cenário político brasileiro. Foi nesse período que o Programa de Desenvolvimento Sustentável de Territórios Rurais (PRONAT), implementado desde 2004, foi encerrado, findando um ciclo da política pública de desenvolvimento territorial brasileiro. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se analisar a governança da polí...

Agriculture is one of the major economic sectors in the world, being directly or indirectly dependent on the pollination services performed mainly by bees. However, there is a significant use of pesticides, for example agricultural fungicides, which can cause lethal and sublethal effects on bees. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the exp...

A non-formal environmental education is an important tool for awareness-raising. This study aimed to reflect and analyze the performance of students in the international Course of Pollination in conducting an environmental education activity, highlighting the limitations and positive aspects of the experience lived through the perceptions of all st...

This work aimed to study the pollen harvest behavior and intra-population variation in aggregations of Monoeca haemorrhoidalis and Thygater (Thygater) analis and thus contribute to a better understanding of the trophic niche of these species. This study was carried out in areas of dense Ombrophilous Forest in the county of ribeirão grande, são Paul...
