Hace 6 años iniciamos con la idea de conocernos y compartir nuestras inquietudes alrededor de las abejas. Hoy llegamos a la IV versión del encuentro colombiano sobre abejas silvestres, que ya no es solo nacional sino internacional. En esta ocasión tendremos 10 Conferencias Magistrales que nos permitirán aproximarnos a algunas de las investigaciones que se llevan a cabo en diversas instituciones comprometidas con el conocimiento de las abejas silvestres. Los temas de las conferencias y presentaciones giran en torno a la polinización y a las abejas sin aguijón. Por supuesto no se descuidan las demás abejas. Y es interesante ver como Bombus, euglosinos, Xylocopa , abejas de los aceites también son protagonistas de nuestro encuentro. Aspiramos a seguir fortaleciendo los vínculos creados desde el I encuentro y a concretar la Iniciativa Colombiana de Polinizadores, enriquecida con los trabajos que se han venido realizando en diversos centros de investigación colombianos. Gracias por su interés y entusiasmo.

Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Balboa, Republic of Panamá Resumen Pocos estudios han considerado la dinámica de poblaciones de abejas en bosques o habitats no alterados por el hombre. La presencia de abejas silvestres Africanizadas de Apis mellifera fue estudiado por 10 – 17 años en areas previamente sin esta especie. Aquí presento e interpreto resultados de tres bosque neotropicales: Guiana Francesa, Panamá, y Yucatán, Mexico (5˚ a 19˚ N. latitude). La abeja Africanizada exotica no produjo efecto negativo en las abejas nativas, incluyendo especies altamente sociales y solitarias. Diferencias mayors a través del tiempo fueron encontrados en la abundancia de las abejas de miel en flores cerca de habitat con mayor grado de disturbio, comparado a bosque espeso. Al nivel poblacional, muestreado en bloques de nidos trampa, o en flores, o con trampas ultravioletas de insectos, no hubo disminución pronta de abejas, y sí hubo una población relativamente estable o sinusodial. Sin embargo, las abejas nativas cambiaron su hora de buscar provisiones o su selección de especies florales. Una conclusión principal es que esta competencia por los recursos es ‘silenciosa’, en las areas floristicamente ricas estudiadas,

Accepted 9 July, 2011 Previous pollinator faunistic surveys conducted in 26 different sites indicated that farmlands of central Uganda supported more than 650 bee species, 330 butterfly species and 57 fly species. Most crop species grown in Uganda are pollinator-dependents. There is also a high dependency of rural communities on pollination services for their livelihoods and incomes. The annual economic value attributable to pollinating services delivered to crop production sector was estimated to be worth of US$0.49 billion for a total economic value of crop production of US$1.16 billion in Uganda. Despite the great contribution of pollinators to crop yields, there is still lack of knowledge of their

GONZALEZ1, BERNARDO MANTILLA2, ELIANA PALACIOS2 Abstract. This note reports observations on the pollen collecting behavior and foraging activity of the solitary bee, Anthophora walteri Gonzalez on Salvia bogotensis in the Eastern Andes of Colom- bia. Bees foraged from 7:00–17:00 h, or when the temperature exceeded 15°C. Peak visits occurred between 8:00–9:00, when the temperature was about 18°C and the humidity was 60%. On average, bees spent 3 seconds at each flower and collected pollen throughout the day, although pollen- collecting trips were twice as frequent in the morning as in the afternoon. The daily number and duration of foraging trips per bee ranged from 1–13 trips (x = 6.8 ± 4.3) and 4–88 min (x = 21.7 ± 23.8). Some possible morphological and behavioral adaptations for pollen collection on flowers of Salvia, as well as thermal constraints on the foraging activity of A. walteri in the Andes are also discussed. Key words: Anthophora walteri. Foraging behavior. Salvia. Andes. Colombia. Resumen. En esta nota se registran observaciones del comportamiento de recolección de polen y actividad de forrajeo de la abeja solitaria, Anthophora walteri Gonzalez sobre Salvia bogotensis en la cordillera Oriental de Colombia.

Entre ellos, las abejas constituyen un eslabón esencial en la polinización de angiospermas que durante millones de años desarrollaron estrategias cada vez más específicas para atraerlas. De esta forma se establece una relación muy fuerte entre am- bos, planta-polinizador, y cuanto mayor es la especialización, tal como sucede en un gran número de especies de orquídeas y cactáceas entre otros grupos, ésta se torna más vulnerable ante cambios ambientales naturales o producidos por el hombre. De esta forma, el estudio de este tipo de interacciones resulta cada vez más importante en vista del incremento de áreas perturbadas o modificadas de manera antrópica en las cuales la fauna y flora queda expuesta a adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones o desaparecer.

  • A Molecular Phylogeny of the Long-Horned Bees in the Genus Melissodes Latreille (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Eucerinae)
    Insect Systematics & Evolution (2020) DOI 10.1163/1876312X-bja10015 brill.com/ise A molecular phylogeny of the long-horned bees in the genus Melissodes Latreille (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Eucerinae) Karen W. Wrighta,b,*, Kelly B. Millera and Hojun Songb aDepartment of Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, USA bDepartment of Entomology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Melissodes Latreille in the subfamily Eucerinae (Hymenoptera: Apidae) is a widespread and common group of bees. There are 129 describedMelissodes species that range throughout the western hemisphere with the center of diversity in the warm deserts of southwestern North America. Despite its widespread nature and importance in agriculture, the evolutionary relationships among the species have never been investigated. Here, we present a molecular phylogeny using five loci for 89 species of Melis- sodes with representatives from all subgenera. We confirm all of the subgeneric delineations constructed by LaBerge, except for a paraphyletic M. (Tachymelissodes) and the placement of M. (Heliomelissodes), which renders M. (Eumelissodes) paraphyletic. We also discuss the unexpected placement of M. tristis Cockerell, M. paucipuncta LaBerge, M. dagosus Cockerell, and M. pexa LaBerge. Finally, we combine this analysis with previous data to support the placement of Melissodes within the subfamily Eucerinae. Keywords Anthophila; Eucerini; bee phylogeny; long-horned bees Introduction The genus Melissodes Latreille (Apidae: Eucerinae sensu Bossert et al. 2019) is a diverse genus of medium sized, setaceous bees. It is the second largest genus in the tribe Eu- cerini with 129 described species ranging from Canada to Argentina.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

    Revista de Biología Tropical ISSN: 0034-7744 [email protected] Universidad de Costa Rica Costa Rica Pinilla-Gallego, Mario Simón; Nieto Fernández, Valentina; Nates-Parra, Guiomar Recurso polínico y ciclo estacional de Thygater aethiops (Hymenoptera: Apidae) en un ambiente urbano (Bogotá-Colombia) Revista de Biología Tropical, vol. 64, núm. 3, septiembre, 2016, pp. 1247-1257 Universidad de Costa Rica San Pedro de Montes de Oca, Costa Rica Available in: http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44946472026 Abstract Thygater aethiops is a native bee that can be found in parks and gardens in diverse urban areas such as those in the city of Bogotá (Colombia). However, little is known about its biol - ogy as well as ecological adaptations to urban areas. This study aimed to describe the seasonal cycle and daily foraging activities of T. aethiops, as well as identify the pollen resources used by this bee over a year in a population nesting in an aggregation in the “Parque Nacional Enrique Olaya Herrera” in Bogotá. Changes in the nest activity were monitored weekly by counting the number of active nests in the aggregation between December/2012 and February/2014. To determine the daily foraging activity, the numbers of bees entering their nests over a period of 10 minutes every hour between 8:00 and 14:00 h were recorded. Females with pollen loads entering to their nest were captured weekly, between September/2012 and August/2013, and their pollen loads analyzed. Three nesting peaks occurred after the precipitation peaks, but the number of active nests was not correlated with precipitation.

Observations were established, lasting 8 hours daily, during different periods from 2009 to 2015. Bees and plants, after preparation, were identified and registered in a database. We sampled 3,073 bees, all of which 1042 were wild native species. The collected bees are included in 34 species and 44 morphospecies (Halictinae-35, Megachilinae-17, Apinae non corbiculate-15, Apinae corbiculate- 10, Andreninae-1). With the exception of Apis mellifera, the most abundant bee taxa sampled were Trigona spinipes (330 individuals), Xylocopa brasilianorum (92) and Pseudaugochlora graminea (92). Euglossini females and species poorly sampled in inventories such as Leiopodus lacertinus, Thygater (Thygater) armandoi, Anthodioctes megachiloides and Coelioxys aculeaticeps were captured. The bees were sampled over 83 botanical species of 38 families. The most visited botanical families were Lamiaceae and Asteraceae. The richness of the studied area is lower than those of other nearby compared places, indicating probably a decrease of the apifauna. The found diversity previews the place as a possible refuge.
