Background The field of bee genomics has considerably advanced in recent years,
however, the most diverse group of honey producers on the planet, the stingless bees, are …

The evolution of mitochondrial genomes in the stingless bees is surprisingly dynamic,
making them a model system to understand mitogenome structure, function, and evolution …

Background The highly eusocial stingless bees are crucial pollinators of native and
agricultural ecosystems. Nevertheless, genomic studies within this bee tribe remain scarce …

Diplodiscus japonicus and Diplodiscus mehari (Trematoda: Diplodiscidae) are two important
parasites in wood frogs, which have large infection rates and essential importance of …

Prosthogonimus cuneatus and Prosthogonimus pellucidus (Trematoda: Prosthogonimidae)
are common flukes of poultry and other birds which can cause severe impacts on animal …

Background Most of our understanding on the social behavior and genomics of bees and
other social insects is centered on the Western honey bee, Apis mellifera. The genus Apis …

The analysis of mitochondrial DNA polymorphism has been applied in multiple organisms to
obtain information about species biology, ecology, population dynamics, and evolution. In …

Discrepancies in mitochondrial and nuclear genetic data are often interpreted as evidence
of hybridisation. We re-examined reports of hybridisation in three cryptic stingless bee …

The heteroplasmic mitogenome of the stingless bee Tetragonula laeviceps from Peninsular
Malaysia consists of two variants (TL1-1 and TL1-2), both with 29,084 bp consisting of two …

Background Centipedes are one of the oldest terrestrial arthropods belonging to the sub
phylum Myriapoda. With the expansion of our understanding of the application of the two …
