The mitochondrial genome of Frieseomelitta varia.a Schematic representation of the circular mitochondrial genome. The arrow indicates transcription direction of the protein-coding genes. The genes encoding Complex I proteins are in yellow, those for Complex II are in pink, ATP synthase is in green, other protein coding genes are in purple, tRNAs are in blue, and rRNAs are in red. b Phylogenetic tree based on the complete mitochondrial genomes dataset of Apoidea and two ant species, showing proximate relation between the F. varia mitogenome with those of the two other stingless bees, Melipona bicolor and M. scutellaris. The tree was generated by Bayesian Inference; the values above the branches show the posterior probability for Bayesian Inference and values below the branches represent bootstrap support values of the Maximum Likelihood analyses. The position of F. varia is shown in blue. c Linear, schematic representation of the mitochondrial genome rearrangements inferred for the mitogenome of F. varia in comparison to the mitochondrial genomes of three other corbiculate bee genera, Apis, Bombus and Melipona. The colors of the genes correspond to the respective functional groups shown in the mitochondrial genome map. The blue arrow indicates the block of genes that showed rearrangement in gene order, and the green and orange arrows represent genes that underwent both rearrangement and inversion
