PINTANDO A CIDADE COM TERRA: PATRIMÔNIO, DESENHO E URBANIDADE EM FEIRA DE SANTANA (BA)
Get PDFHá uma certa urgência em refletir sobre a construção urbana atual da cidade de Feira de Santana, visto que as decisões estruturais de engenharia e de mobilidade que afetam e constroem essa metrópole tão influente nas dinâmicas econômicas e sociais da Bahia, muitas vezes não adotam a memória e a cultura local popular como elemento norteador no planejamento urbano e no cuidado com os patrimônios históricos edificados, afetando diretamente o reconhecimento da população nos locais que transitam

Comparative Analysis of Quality Parameters of Honey Collected from Domesticated and Wild Honeybee Species in District Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan
Get PDFHoney is a natural sweet substance produced by honeybees from the nectars of plant flowers and honeydew. This study has performed a comparative analysis of the physicochemical properties of honey collected from wild (Apis dorsata) and domesticated (Apis cerana) bee species from different areas of District Faisalabad, Pakistan. The quality of honey was evaluated for floral sources in the case of wild bees and sugar syrup in the case of domesticated bees. Our data reveal differences in the two honey groups regarding ash, minerals, and HMF content. The amount of minerals was recorded higher in A. dorsata than in A. cerana honey. Similarly, the amount of HMF was higher in the honey of A. dorsata than in A. cerana. The moisture content, pH, glucose, and glucose oxidase levels were similar in both honey types. This preliminary study is very useful for developing strategies for the quality analysis of honey, which ultimately promotes honey business entrepreneurship in the international market
The Morphology and Histology of Hypopharyngeal and Mandibular gland of Five Stingless Bee Genera in Thailand
No full textStingless bees have an exocrine gland in the head, including hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands, which play essential roles in social insect existence. The research aimed to examine the morphology and histology of five stingless bee genera’s hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands (Homotrigona, Lepidotrigona, Tetrigona, Tetragonilla, and Tetragonula). The morphological properties of the hypopharyngeal gland in all genera are composed of several spherical acini cells connected in a long chain. Each acinus has small tubular secretory cells extending from the acinus to the axial duct. The glandular class III secretory cells found in tissue differ in structure and arrangement among the five genera. There is a remarkable diversity in the mandibular glands of stingless bees. The first type, the ectomandibular gland, features an assembled reservoir at the end of the mandible base for storing the aqueous solution in the tissue found in the glandular epithelial class III secretory cell in all genera. The second type, the intramandibular gland, is found in the secretory cells of the mandible space. A mixture of glandular classes I and III in the secretory cells is present in all genera. Moreover, the morphometrics of the hypopharyngeal gland acini and mandibular gland reservoir indicate that the morphological sizes in each gland are not dependent on the body size of stingless bees, especially the Lepidotrigona and Tetrigona. The exocrine glands of a stingless bee may demonstrate the relation of their behavior or activity in the colony, which is an important response to their social existence. Furthermore, physiological capabilities may be related to different body sizes and flowering plant resources in tropical regions, such as Thailand
Outdoor Occurrence of the Introduced Yellow-footed Ant Nylanderia flavipes in Switzerland (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
No full textWe report the first European outdoor record for the exotic ant Nylanderia flavipes (Smith, 1874), discovered in Switzerland. A worker was collected by hand and another in a pitfall trap outdoors during an inventory of the botanical garden on the larger Brissago Island (Isola di San Pancrazio) in 2023. The morphological identification was confirmed by DNA barcoding. Nylanderia flavipes is native to China, Japan, and Korea and is known to be introduced in North America. The species was most likely introduced with exotic plant imports. DNA-barcoding suggests a close relationship to N. flavipes sequences from China (Fujian and Shaanxi provinces). We recommend monitoring the potential impact and spread of this species in Switzerland and neighboring Italy
First Record of Parasitoidism by Phoridae Flies in Atta opaciceps Borgmeier (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), a Leafcutter Ant from the Northeast Region of Brazil
Get PDFLeafcutter ants of the genus Atta Fabricius, 1804 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are important actors in natural environments, as they are part of crucial ecological processes; however, they are also considered important pests in agroecosystems. Numerous species of flies from the Phoridae family have been recorded as parasitoids of several species of leafcutter ants, with details of their biology, life cycle, and forms of attack behavior. For the leafcutter Atta opaciceps Borgmeier, 1939, however, to date, there is no record of associated phorids or even records made in the state of Sergipe on the occurrence of parasitoid phorids. This study is the first to report the occurrence of phorids associated with A. opaciceps and the observed parasitoidism rates. Workers collected in the field were kept in the laboratory for parasitoid emergence. The parasitoidism rate was 8.4%, with the majority of workers being parasitized by Myrmosicarius grandicornis Borgmeier, 1928 (n = 267; 99%). There were two other records: one parasitized by Eibesfeldtphora declinata (Borgmeier, 1925) and another worker hosting Apocephalus setitarsus Brown, 1997. This study expands the knowledge about phorids associated with Atta in Brazil, including A. opaciceps on the list of natural hosts, the state of Sergipe in its distribution area, and information on parasitoidism rates
Male or Female? New Cases of Gynandromorphism in Wool Carder Bees of the Tribe Anthidiini (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae)
Get PDFGynandromorphism is a condition in which both male and female morphological characteristics are present in a single specimen. This phenomenon has been well-documented in Apoidea, but with only a few cases in megachilid bees. Here, we described two new instances of gynandromorphism in wool carder bees (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Anthidiini), including the first record in the genus Rhodanthidium. The studied cases include single specimens of Anthidium punctatum Latreille from Bulgaria and Rhodanthidium siculum (Spinola) from Italy. To date, gynandromorphism in Anthidiini has been observed only in nine species of the genera Anthidiellum Cockerell, Anthidium Fabricius, Dianthidium Cockerell, Rhodanthidium Isensee, and Trachusa Panzer, underscoring the rarity of this phenomenon in this tribe
Flight Activities of Melipona (Melikerria) fasciculata Smith, 1854 (Apidae: Meliponini) in Migratory Meliponiculture
Get PDFThe breeding of stingless bees (meliponiculture) often involves exchanging and selling nests and, sometimes, migrating colonies to take advantage of blooms in different locations. In this study, we analyzed the flight activities of Melipona fasciculata in the eastern Amazon region, before and after the migration of colonies in two municipalities in Maranhão, Brazil. The experimental analysis occurred over three periods: P.I (Palmeirândia), P.II (5 days after migration to Governador Nunes Freire), and P.III (30 days after P.II in Governador Nunes Freire). Flight activity was observed in three colonies for three consecutive days per period. The workers were active in the external environment all day (6 am to 5 pm), ceasing after 6 pm. The comparisons between the periods showed that after the transfer, there was an increase in the external activities of exit and pollen, although they did not differ statistically, being significant only for resin and clay. Correlation analysis with the time of day showed that exit behavior was most active in the morning. Nectar was the most exploited resource by the workers in all periods, followed by pollen, clay, and resin. The circular analysis showed a concentration of pollen and nectar collection between 9:30 am and 11:11 am, with these resources being collected earlier in P.II. The results show that the bees adapt quickly to the migration environment, reaching stabilization and similarity to their place of origin in a short time
