Altitudinal diversity of tribe Bombini (Hymenoptera: Apidae) from district Shigar, Gilgit Baltistan. Pure and Applied Biology. Vol. 10, Issue 3, pp651-656. http://dx.doi.org/10.19045/bspab.2021.100067 Received: 30/11/2019 Revised: 20/10/2020 Accepted: 29/10/2020 Online First: 24/11/2020 Abstract Bumble bees plays an important role in pollination of crops and environmental indicators. Identification of bumble bees are also important as different species plays various role in ecosystem. Present study was conducted to know the altitudinal diversity of tribe Bombini. Samples were collected from various localities of district Shigar of Baltistan Division. Identification were done at Insect Systematic Laboratory of Entomology department, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam. During present study 7 species are recorded under single genus Bombus, from the collection sites viz, B. asiaticus (Morawitz, 1875), B. melanurus (Lepeletier, 1835), B. semenovianus (Skorikov, 1914), B. tunicatus (Smith, 1852), B. ferganicus (Radoszkowski, 1893), B. lucorum (Linnaeus, 1761) and B. rufofasciatus (Smith, 1852). The list of host plants are recorded as, Euphorbia wallichia, Cirsium arvense, Carduus edelbergii, Lavatera cashmeriana, Cirsium arvense, Melilotus officinale, Taraxacum officinale, Ipomea tricolor, Helianthus annuus, Digitalis purpurea, Zinnia elegans and Fagopyrum esculentum. This study will proved helpful to recognize the bumble species as pollinator of different crops of the region for conservation. Keywords: Bombini; Bumble bees; Bombus; Pollinators; Shigar Introduction functioning of agricultural ecosystems of The Bombini are a tribe of large crops and wild flowers. Plant pollinated by bristly apid bees which contain a single Bees contribute 30% of food consumption living genus, Bombus, the bumblebees, and by human in America. [4]. Thirteen species some extinct genera such as Calyptapis and reported in Pakistan [13] all of them are Oligobombus. The tribe was described indigenous to northern Pakistan, having the by Latreille in 1802. The genus Bombus, elevation ranges from 2291m to 5344m includes around 260 species of eusocial both from agricultural and non-agricultural bees, mostly distributed in temperate and land [5]. Species of tribe Bombini can feed cold regions of the northern hemisphere [1]. in hostile weather conditions, which are not Agricultural crops vary in their pollination suitable to honeybees and solitary bees [6]. requirements and rely on different insect These perform an important role in pollinator species [2, 3]. Bumblebees play ecological services in high altitude areas of an important role as pollinator in Pakistan [7]. From Himalayan region 160 Published by Bolan Society for Pure and Applied Biology 651 Ali et al. floral host plants has been recorded [8]. latitude and 75° 42′59″E longitude and Tribe Bombini are mostly found in high covers an area of 4373 sq. km. Elevation attitude regions [12]. Species of tribe above sea level is 2, 260 to 8611 m (Fig. 1) Bombini can found from 1000m-5500m. [10]. It borders with China surrounded by Bumble bees construct nest in different K2 between the territories [11]. Present habitat, often in abandoned rodent burrows, study was conducted to explore the bumble in the ground, above ground and in tall bee fauna as pollinator, since identification grasses [9]. Shigar district is located in the plays a vital role towards the knowledge of north of Skardu. It is part of the central pollinating species behavior and their Karakorum ranges. It lies at 25° 25′32″ N extent of benefits. Figure 1. Map of study area 652 Pure Appl.
