Post doc at the Dept. of Ecology and Evolution at Universitè Libre de Bruxelles - Belgium. Natalia Araujo (NA) has technical training in Chemistry (ETEC GV, 2007), a BSc degree (UNIP, 2009), a MSc degree and PhD degree (Genetics Department and Evolutionary Biology - USP, 2012 - Masters; 2018 - PhD). NA began her career in research during her under graduation studies working on environmental biomarkers in fishes (UNIP / USP, 2008-2010) with a CNPq fellowship. During her masters (USP 2010-2012), NA worked in the field of insect population genetics through the study of the complex of cryptic species Anastrepha fraterculus. In her PhD studies, NA studied the molecular evolution of social behaviour in bees with different levels of sociality using RNA-Seq, Bisulfite-Seq and bioinformatics analyses (FAPESP grant). NA spend one year (2014-2015) in England (Queen Mary University of London) under the supervision of Dr Yannick Wurm as part of her PhD with a BEPE-FAPESP fellowship. During this period she expanded her knowledge about new generation sequencing techniques, statistics and data analyses. Currently, in her third post-doc at University of Brussels, NA uses bioinformatics to understand the genomics of queens development in Melipona bees. For more, see www.natevolution.com.

Social behavior includes intraspecific interactions such as female choice, recognition of species, altruistic behavior, and animal society organization. Among the animals' species most integrated with their social environment are the social insects. Some species as the bees of Apini and Meliponini tribes exhibit a complex pattern known as eusocial, these highly eusocial species integrate …
Evolution of cooperative and altruistic behaviours have been important topics in evolutionary biology for years. The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is a remarkable model for such studies because in this species two distinct forms of social organization co-exist. According to the allele frequency of the pheromone-binding gene Gp-9, it is possible to predict the colony queen number. In homozyg…
