“…As such, collection times varied, with some samples several years older than the rest. These samples were examined earlier using morphometric techniques [26], and more recently using DNA sequencing techniques [27]. Philippine A. cerana are from the following locations (see Fig.…”

International audienceThis study adds new data from Korea and the Philippines to earlier mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-based studies of the phylogeography of Asian cavity-nesting honeybees. A non-coding region that lies between the leucine tRNA gene and the cytochrome oxidase II gene of the mitochondrial genome was sequenced in bees from 153 colonies of Apis cerana and A. nigrocincta, revealing 41 different haplotypes. Five sequences could not be aligned with the others, two (from India and Sri Lanka) because the sequences were exceedingly A+T rich, and three (from Taiwan, the Philippines, and A. nigrocincta) because most of the non-coding sequence was absent. The remaining 36 sequences were aligned, and used in a phylogenetic analysis of A. cerana and A. nigrocincta populations. Both neighbor-joining and parsimony analyses were carried out, yielding similar results. We found five major groups of haplotypes: an Asian mainland group, a Sundaland group, a Palawan group, a Luzon-Mindanao group, and A. nigrocincta. The geographic distribution of these mtDNA haplotypes appears to be strongly influenced by changes in sea-level during Pleistocene glaciations.Biogéographie d'Apis cerana F. et d'Apis nigrocincta Smith : résultats des études d'ADNmt. Nous avons étudié la variation de la séquence d'ADN dans une région non codante des génomes mitochondriaux de 153 colonies d'A. cerana et d'A. nigrocincta. Les échantillons d'A. cerana provenaient d'Inde, du Sri Lanka, du Népal, de Thaïlande, de Chine (Hong Kong), de Taïwan, de Corée, du Japon, de la péninsule de Malaisie et de Bornéo, des îles indonésiennes de Java, Bali, Lombok, Timor occidental, Flores et Sulawesi (Fig. 1, Tab. I) et des îles Philippines de Palawan, Luzon, Leyte, Mindanao, Cebu, Panay et Negros (Fig. 2, Tab. I). Les échantillons de nigrocincta venaient des îles indonésiennes de Sulawesi et de Sangihe. La figure 3 montre les séquences d'ADNmt trouvées dans les nouveaux échantillons de Corée (Japon1, Corée4, Corée7 et Corée9) et dans 11 échantillons des Philippines (Palawan1, Palawan2, Cebu1, MindanaoP, Luzon1, Luzon2, MindanaoL, Mindanao11, Mindanao2, Negros1 et PhilippineShort). Avec les haplotypes publiés précédemment [CITE] on arrive à un total de 41 séquences différentes non codantes parmi les 153 colonies échantillonnées. Deux des 6 haplotypes observés parmi les colonies d'Inde et du Sri Lanka n'ont pu être alignées avec les autres séquences d'A. cerana. La plus grande partie de la région non codante était absente de 3 haplotypes (TaïwanShort, SulawesiShort et PhilippineShort) (Figs. 3 et 7). La séquence non codante a probablement été perdue indépendamment à trois reprises. L'analyse phylogénétique des 36 séquences non codantes alignées (les séquences courtes et les deux séquences non alignées mises à part) a été faite à l'aide de deux méthodes statistiques (neighbor-joining et parcimonie maximum). Il en est résulté différents dendogrammes : le dendogramme de la figure 4 est issu de l'algorithme de neighbor-joining, celui de la figure 5 de l'analyse de parc...

“…Recently, the utilization of geometric morphometrics has increased in population (Tilde et al 2000, Francoy et al 2006, Nunes et al 2008, Nunes et al 2012, heritability (Monteiro et al 2002), evolutionary (Bonatti et al 2014) and reproductive (Carvalho et al 2011) studies of bees. These reports have shown that geometric morphometric data are effective in the identification of groups and lineages (Francoy et al 2008, Francoy et al 2009, Bischoff et al 2009).…”

Melipona mandacaia is a stingless bee species responsible for the pollination of many native plants in Brazil, South America. In spite of its ecological and economic importance, natural populations of M. mandacaia have been depleted because of deforestation. In order to evaluate the interpopulation morphometric structure of remaining populations, we carried out geometric morphometric studies based on fore wing shape in this native bee species. The grouping analysis by UPGMA revealed three distinct clusters and significant differences in fore wing size were observed (p<0.001) among populations. The three groups were also reflected in the first two principal components explaining about 60% of the total variation. These results indicate differentiation among populations, which can be regarded as unique management units. Therefore, efforts should be directed to the conservation of local populations of M. mandacaia to avoid the negative impacts of loss in pollination over plant species and environmental services.

“…However, multivariate morphometric analyses of the former lag behind the latter and a recent survey of the literature shows that infraspecific classification and population structure in Apis cerana are fraught with difficulties (Hepburn et al, 2001). A beginning toward a resolution of this disparity is apparent from the recent publication of several such analyses for different parts of Asia (Sasaki, 1994;Deowanish et al, 1996;Damus and Otis, 1997;Sylvester et al, 1998;Sihanuntavong et al, 1999;de la Rúa et al, 2000;Smith et al, 2000;Tilde et al, 2000).…”

Morphometric analysis of Apis cerana populations in the southern Himalayan region

et al. 2001

-Multivariate analyses of morphometric traits of Apis cerana were measured from 3704 individual workers of 279 colonies from 64 localities with an average sampling distance resolution of 50 km along a 2200 km transect in the southern Himalayan region bordered by Pakistan to the west and Myanmar to the east. Factor and discriminant function analyses revealed four major morphoclusters (= unnamed subspecies), two of which are further subdivisable into three biometric subgroups each. These morphoclusters can only be partially integrated into any current subspecific nomenclature available for Apis cerana. Morphocluster separation is related to physiographic differences which create a partial temporal reproductive isolation associated with altitude. High variance domains occur at the edges of morphocluster and biometric groupings. The bees decrease in size from west to east but increase in size with increasing altitude.
