Genetic differentiation of urban populations of Euglossa cordata from the state of São Paulo, Brazil
Résumé
Males and females of Euglossa cordata collected inside flowers of Thevetia peruviana in urban areas of eleven cities of the state of São Paulo were analysed using allozymes and nine microsatellite loci. The analyses revealed that these populations have a high genetic diversity and are under genetic equilibrium, showing low population structuring and rare diploid males; consequently, high gene flow and effective population size (Ne) are inferred. These findings corroborate previous biological observations and phylogeographic evidence that report dispersion over long distances of Euglossini species in South America.
