DNA BARCODING OF STINGLESS BEES (HYMENOPTERA: MELIPONINI) IN NORTHERN PERUVIAN FORESTS: A PLEA FOR INTEGRATIVE TAXONOMY

DNA Barcoding of Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in Northern Peruvian Forests: A Plea for Integrative Taxonomy

Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) are among the most important pollinators of tropical forests.Peru is considered a hotspot of biodiversity of Meliponini, but many areas of this country (e.g., Peruvian Amazon) remain unexplored.We aimed to produce a first inventory of stingless wanted reward sign bee species dwelling in humid and seasonally
