B.  aEvidence for gradients of Melipona rufiventris (HymenopterabApidae) genetic diversity within the Brazilian Semiarid.h[electronic resource]  c2022  aThe species Melipona rufiventris Lepeletier is part of the group of stingless bees native to Brazil, commonly known as uruçu-amarela, whose populations have suffered high losses in recent years by the increasing destruction of native semi-arid vegetation and the predatory collection of honey. This study provides an assessment of the genetic diversity and structure of M. rufiventris populations in the Brazilian semiarid using microsatellite markers, a starting point for assessing spatial and temporal genetic changes of bee populations in Brazil.  aAbelha sem ferrão  aMarcadores de microssatélites  aRufiventris group  aUruçu-amarela1 aSILVA, G.
