They were 7 different localities under study with the aim to specify the qualitative and quantitative composition of the representatives of Hymenoptera order. We wanted to broaden knowledge about entomofauna of the studied localities of the protected Area (CHKO). Locality N1 is non-cut meadow south-east of Banská Štiavnica, locality N2 –desolate orchard in Kysihýbel, locality N3 –forest and deforested places with area 80x80 metres, locality N4 –surrounding of the Jasenica water reservoir at the south-west border of the village Banská Belá, locality N5 –re-cultivated dump of mudApidae to the west of Banská Belá and locality N6 – cut meadow in the village Beluj and in its surroundings.

Cold-adapted species are expected to have reached their largest distribution range during a part of the Ice Ages whereas postglacial warming has led to their range contracting toward high-latitude and high-altitude areas. This has resulted in an extant allopatric distribution of populations and possibly to trait differentiations (selected or not) or even speciation. Assessing inter-refugium differentiation or speciation remains challenging for such organisms because of sampling difficulties (several allopatric populations) and disagreements on species concept. In the present study, we assessed postglacial inter-refugia differentiation and potential speciation among populations of one of the most common arcto-alpine bumblebee species in European mountains, Bombus monticola Smith, 1849.

  • Bumble Bees of the Susa Valley (Hymenoptera Apidae)
    Bulletin of Insectology 63 (1): 137-152, 2010 ISSN 1721-8861 Bumble bees of the Susa Valley (Hymenoptera Apidae) Aulo MANINO, Augusto PATETTA, Giulia BOGLIETTI, Marco PORPORATO Di.Va.P.R.A. - Entomologia e Zoologia applicate all’Ambiente “Carlo Vidano”, Università di Torino, Grugliasco, Italy Abstract A survey of bumble bees (Bombus Latreille) of the Susa Valley was conducted at 124 locations between 340 and 3,130 m a.s.l. representative of the whole territory, which lies within the Cottian Central Alps, the Northern Cottian Alps, and the South-eastern Graian Alps. Altogether 1,102 specimens were collected and determined (180 queens, 227 males, and 695 workers) belonging to 30 species - two of which are represented by two subspecies - which account for 70% of those known in Italy, demonstrating the particular value of the area examined with regard to environmental quality and biodiversity. Bombus soroeensis (F.), Bombus me- somelas Gerstaecker, Bombus ruderarius (Mueller), Bombus monticola Smith, Bombus pratorum (L.), Bombus lucorum (L.), Bombus terrestris (L.), and Bombus lapidarius (L.) can be considered predominant, each one representing more than 5% of the collected specimens, 12 species are rather common (1-5% of specimens) and the remaining nine rare (less than 1%). A list of col- lected specimens with collection localities and dates is provided. To illustrate more clearly the altitudinal distribution of the dif- ferent species, the capture locations were grouped by altitude. 83.5% of the samples is also provided with data on the plant on which they were collected, comprising a total of 52 plant genera within 20 plant families.

(2016): Symphytum tuberosum complex in central Europe: cytogeography, morphology, ecology and taxonomy. – Preslia 88: 77–112. The Symphytum tuberosum complex is a highly polyploid and taxonomically intriguing group. At least eight ploidy levels were recorded previously within this complex. Based on flow cytometric screening of 271 central-European populations, two dominant ploidy levels were revealed: tetraploid (2n = 4x = 32) and widespread dodecaploid (2n = 12x = 96). The tetraploid cytotype is mainly distributed along the southern and south-western margins of the West Carpathians where they abut the Pannonian basin, and found only in Slovakia, the Czech Republic (south-eastern Moravia) and Hungary; our findings represent the first records of this ploidy level for the latter two countries. In contrast, the dodecaploid cytotype occurs throughout the whole area studied. In addition to their geographic distributions, differences between the cytotypes in morphology and habitat requirements were detected using a multivariate morphometric analysis and analysis of a phytosociological database, respectively.

Delimiting species based on multisource datasets provides a solution to overcome current systematic issues of closely related populations. Here, we use an integrative taxonomic approach based on new genetic and eco-chemical datasets to resolve the taxonomic status of Bombus lapponicus and Bombus sylvicola. Our results support the conspecific status of B. lapponicus and B. sylvicola and that the low gradual divergence around the Arctic Circle between Fennoscandia and Alaska does not imply speciation in this species complex.

    Insect Science (2018) 25, 75–86, DOI 10.1111/1744-7917.12408 ORIGINAL ARTICLE The cephalic labial gland secretions of two socially parasitic bumblebees Bombus hyperboreus (Alpinobombus) and Bombus inexspectatus (Thoracobombus) question their inquiline strategy Nicolas Brasero1, Baptiste Martinet1, Thomas Lecocq1,2, Patrick Lhomme3, Paolo Biella4,5, Irena Valterova´ 6,Klara´ Urbanova´ 6,7, Maurizio Cornalba8, Heather Hines3 and Pierre Rasmont1 1Laboratory of Zoology, Research institute of Biosciences, University of Mons, Mons, Belgium; 2Research Unit Animal and Functionalities of Animal Products (URAFPA), University of Lorraine—INRA, Vandoeuvre-les-Nancy,` France; 3Department of Biology, the Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, USA; 4Faculty of Science, Department of Zoology, University of South Bohemia, Ceskˇ e´ Budejovice,ˇ Czech Republic; 5Biology Centre of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, v.v.i., Institute of Entomology, Ceskˇ e´ Budejovice,ˇ Czech Republic; 6Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Prague, Czech Republic; 7Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences, Department of Sustainable Technologies, Czech University of Life Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic and 8Department of Mathematics, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy Abstract Social parasitic Hymenopterans have evolved morphological, chemical, and behavioral adaptations to overcome the sophisticated recognition and defense systems of their social host to invade host nests and exploit their worker force. In bumblebees, so- cial parasitism appeared in at least 3 subgenera independently: in the subgenus Psithyrus consisting entirely of parasitic species, in the subgenus Alpinobombus with Bombus hy- perboreus, and in the subgenus Thoracobombus with B. inexspectatus. Cuckoo bumblebee males utilize species-specific cephalic labial gland secretions for mating purposes that can impact their inquiline strategy.
