Compounds extracted from heads of African stingless bees (Hypotrigona species) as a prospective taxonomic tool

Ndungu, Nelly N.; Kiatoko, N.; Masiga, Daniel K.; Raina, Suresh K.; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Yusuf, Abdullahi Ahmed (Springer, 2018-04)

Stingless bees are important pollinators of plants, and also producers of honey. Species within the African stingless bee genus Hypotrigona are difficult to differentiate due to morphological similarities. Chemical profiles ...
Morphological re-description and molecular identification of Tabanidae (Diptera) in East Africa

Mugasa, Claire M.; Villinger, Jandouwe; Gitau, Joseph; Ndungu, Nelly N.; Ciosi, Marc; Masiga, Daniel (Pensoft, 2018-06-26)

Biting flies of the family Tabanidae are important vectors of human and animal diseases across continents. However, records of Africa tabanids are fragmentary and mostly cursory. To improve identification, documentation ...
Nest architecture as a tool for species discrimination of Hypotrigona species (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini)

Ndungu, Nelly N.; Yusuf, Abdullahi Ahmed; Raina, S.K.; Masiga, D.K.; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Nkoba, K. (Entomological Society of Southern Africa, 2019-03)

Hypotrigona species are difficult to identify morphologically. Here, we show that nest sites and nest architecture can be used to discriminate three Hypotrigona species found in Kenya. Hypotrigona gribodoi, H. araujoi and ...
Resolving taxonomic ambiguity and cryptic speciation of Hypotrigona species through morphometrics and DNA barcoding

Ndungu, Nelly N.; Nkoba, Kiatoko; Sole, Catherine L.; Pirk, Christian Walter Werner; Abdullahi, A.Y. (Yusuf); Raina, Suresh K.; Masiga, Daniel K. (Taylor and Francis, 2018-02)

Stingless bees are important pollinators of cultivated and wild plants, contributing significantly to biodiversity and food security. Conserving pollinator plant interactions is essential to secure these ecosystems services. ...
