  • Wild Bees of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument: Richness, Abundance, and Spatio-Temporal Beta-Diversity
    Wild bees of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument: richness, abundance, and spatio-temporal beta-diversity Olivia Messinger Carril1, Terry Griswold2, James Haefner3 and Joseph S. Wilson4 1 Santa Fe, NM, United States of America 2 USDA-ARS Pollinating Insects Research Unit, Logan, UT, United States of America 3 Biology Department, Emeritus Professor, Utah State University, Logan, UT, United States of America 4 Department of Biology, Utah State University - Tooele, Tooele, UT, United States of America ABSTRACT Interest in bees has grown dramatically in recent years in light of several studies that have reported widespread declines in bees and other pollinators. Investigating declines in wild bees can be difficult, however, due to the lack of faunal surveys that provide baseline data of bee richness and diversity. Protected lands such as national monuments and national parks can provide unique opportunities to learn about and monitor bee populations dynamics in a natural setting because the opportunity for large-scale changes to the landscape are reduced compared to unprotected lands. Here we report on a 4-year study of bees in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM), found in southern Utah, USA. Using opportunistic collecting and a series of standardized plots, we collected bees throughout the six-month flowering season for four consecutive years. In total, 660 bee species are now known from the area, across 55 genera, and including 49 new species. Two genera not previously known to occur in the state of Utah were discovered, as well as 16 new species records for the state. Bees include ground-nesters, cavity- and twig-nesters, cleptoparasites, narrow specialists, generalists, solitary, and social species.

  • The Potential Conservation Value of Unmowed Powerline Strips for Native Bees
    BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION Biological Conservation 124 (2005) 133–148 www.elsevier.com/locate/biocon The potential conservation value of unmowed powerline strips for native bees K.N. Russell a,*, H. Ikerd b, S. Droege c a Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West, 79th Street, New York, NY 10024, USA b Bee Biology and Systematics Laboratory, Utah State University, 5310 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322-5310, USA c USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, 12100 Beech Forest, Laurel, MD 20708-4083, USA Received 17 February 2004 Abstract The land area covered by powerline easements in the United States exceeds the area of almost all national parks, including Yel- lowstone. In parts of Europe and the US, electric companies have altered their land management practices from periodic mowing to extraction of tall vegetation combined with the use of selective herbicides. To investigate whether this alternate management practice might produce higher quality habitat for native bees, we compared the bee fauna collected in unmowed powerline corridors and in nearby mowed grassy fields at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (MD). Powerline sites had more spatially and numerically rare species and a richer bee community than the grassy fields, although the difference was less pronounced than we expected. Powerline sites also had more parasitic species and more cavity-nesting bees. Bee communities changed progressively through the season, but differences between the site types were persistent. The surrounding, non-grassland landscape likely has a strong influence on the bee species collected at the grassland sites, as some bees may be foraging in the grasslands but nesting elsewhere.

Ulmer1, Marcus Zuber2, Tilo Baumbach2,3 and Andrew R. Deans1 1 Frost Entomological Museum, Department of Entomology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, United States of America 2 Laboratory for Applications of Synchrotron Radiation, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Karlsruhe, Germany 3 Institute for Photon Science and Synchrotron Radiation, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany ABSTRACT Ceraphronoids are some of the most commonly collected hymenopterans, yet they remain rare in the fossil record. Conostigmus talamasi Mikó and Trietsch, sp. nov. from Baltic amber represents an intermediate form between the type genus, Megaspilus, and one of the most species-rich megaspilid genera, Conostigmus. We describe the new species using 3D data collected with synchrotron-based micro-CT equipment. This non-invasive technique allows for quick data collection in unusually high resolution, revealing morphological traits that are otherwise obscured by the amber. In describing this new species, we revise the diagnostic characters for Ceraphronoidea and discuss possible reasons why minute wasps with a pterostigma are often misidentified as cer- aphronoids.

Pendleton, Burton K. Pendleton, Karen R. Wetherill, and Terry Griswold Abstract—Expansion of diploid creosote shrubs (Larrea tridentata Introduction_______________________ (Sessé & Moc. ex DC.) Coville)) into grassland sites occurs exclusively through seed production. We compared the reproductive biology Chihuahuan Desert shrubland is expanding into semiarid of Larrea shrubs located in a Chihuahuan desert shrubland with grasslands of the Southwest. Creosote (Larrea tridentata) isolated shrubs well-dispersed into the semiarid grasslands at the seedling establishment in grasslands is a key factor in this Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. Specifically, we examined (1) re- conversion. Diploid Larrea plants of the Chihuahuan Des- productive success on open-pollinated branches, (2) the potential ert are not clonal as has been reported for some hexaploid of individual shrubs to self-pollinate, and (3) bee pollinator guild Mojave populations (Vasek 1980). Consequently, Larrea composition at shrubland and grassland sites. Sampling of the bee guild suggests that there are adequate numbers of pollinators at establishment in semiarid grasslands of New Mexico must both locations; however, the community composition differs between occur exclusively through seed. At McKenzie Flats in the shrub and grassland sites. More Larrea specialist bee species were Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, there exists a gradient found at the shrubland site as compared with the isolated shrubs. in Larrea density stretching from dense Larrea shrubland Large numbers of generalist bees were found on isolated grassland (4,000 to 6,000 plants per hectare) to semiarid desert grass- bushes, but their efficiency in pollinating Larrea is currently un- land with only a few scattered shrubs.

    EENY-342 Leafcutting Bees, Megachilidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Megachilinae)1 David Serrano2 Introduction Distribution Leafcutting bees are important native pollinators of North Leafcutting bees are found throughout the world and America. They use cut leaves to construct nests in cavities are common in North America. In Florida there are ap- (mostly in rotting wood). They create multiple cells in the proximately 63 species (plus five subspecies) within seven nest, each with a single larva and pollen for the larva to eat. genera of leafcutter bees: Ashmeadiella, Heriades, Hoplitis, Leafcutting bees are important pollinators of wildflowers, Coelioxys, Lithurgus, Megachile, and Osmia. fruits, vegetables and other crops. Some leafcutting bees, Osmia spp., are even used as commercial pollinators (like Description honey bees) in crops such as alfalfa and blueberries. Most leafcutting bees are moderately sized (around the size of a honey bee, ranging from 5 mm to 24 mm), stout-bod- ied, black bees. The females, except the parasitic Coelioxys, carry pollen on hairs on the underside of the abdomen rather than on the hind legs like other bees. When a bee is carrying pollen, the underside of the abdomen appears light yellow to deep gold in color. Biology Leafcutting bees, as their name implies, use 0.25 to 0.5 inch circular pieces of leaves they neatly cut from plants to construct nests. They construct cigar-like nests that contain several cells. Each cell contains a ball or loaf of stored pollen and a single egg. Therefore, each cell will produce a Figure 1.
