Distribution and pollination services of wild bees and hoverflies along an altitudinal gradient in mountain hay meadows....
Published in Ecology and evolution
Extensively managed and flower-rich mountain hay meadows, hotspots of Europe's biodiversity, are subject to environmental and climatic gradients linked to altitude. While the shift of pollinators from bee- to fly-dominated communities with increasing elevation across vegetation zones is well established, the effect of highland altitudinal gradients...
Functional ecology of wild bees in cities: towards a better understanding of trait-urbanization relationships
A functional ecological understanding of urban wild bee communities is of growing importance especially in regard to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem service maintenance and effective conservation programmes. In this paper, we review and summarize the published literature aiming to inform future research investigations in the growing field of w...
Principales plantas de importancia alimenticia para la abeja nativa sin aguijón Trigona fulviventris (Guérin- Méneville)...
In this study, the main important plants collected by the stingless bee Trigona fulviventris were determined in a secondary dry forest fragment in Pocosol, Guanacaste during the rainy season. A total of 26 pollen types were obtained by collecting individuals of Trigona fulviventris these corresponded mainly representative species of herbs and shrub...
Adding attractive semio-chemical trait refines the taxonomy of Alpinobombus (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Published in Apidologie
Species taxonomy of bumblebees (Bombus Latreille, 1802) is well known to be problematic due to a potentially high intra-specific variability of morphological traits while different species can converge locally to the same color pattern (cryptic species). Assessing species delimitation remains challenging because it requires to arbitrarily select va...
