Section Reference1 Bullying is a relationship problem in which an individual or group repeatedly uses power aggressively to cause distress to another. It is a disrespectful relationship problem that requires relationship solutions. Children who bully are learning to use power and aggression to control and distress others. Children who are victimized become increasingly powerless and find themselves trapped in abusive relationships. They need help to stop the bullying. The power imbalances that influence bullying may be based on: Physical advantages such as size and strength Social advantages in the peer group such as a dominant social role, higher social status or popularity and strength in numbers Systemic power (advantages that reflect the greater power in society of some groups and stigmatize others on the basis of race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, economic disadvantage, disability or personal differences such as weight) Bullying can take many forms, including: Physical bullying: hitting, kicking, shoving, spitting, beating up, stealing or damaging another student’s property Verbal bullying: name-calling, mocking, hurtful teasing, humiliating or threatening another student, racial comments or sexual harassment Social bullying: excluding other students from the group, gossiping or spreading rumours, setting other students up to look foolish and damaging friendships Cyberbullying: the use of electronic media to bully others such as: o Using email, text messages and Internet sites to threaten, harass, embarrass, humiliate, socially exclude, damage reputations and friendships o Using cell phones to record images or videos that can be posted online o Obtaining passwords to private accounts and sending or posting messages in another person’s name o Passing on links of humiliating, embarrassing, harassing, threatening or damaging content for others to view Cyberbullying and the other, more traditional, forms of bullying have many things in common, such as an intention to harm and the effect of a peer group witnessing the bullying that impacts victims at different levels of severity. However, there are also some key differences that distinguish cyberbullying from traditional bullying. Why Cyberbullying is Different: Kids who are being cyberbullied are often bullied in person as well Kids who are cyberbullied have a harder time getting away from the behaviour because it “follows them home,” increasing the potential for feelings of powerlessness in the victim2 Cyberbullying has also been referred to as “non-stop bullying” because it happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reaches kids even when they are alone3 Cyberbullying messages can be posted anonymously and distributed quickly to a very wide audience; it can be difficult and sometimes impossible to trace the source Deleting inappropriate or harassing messages, texts and pictures is extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent4 Cyberbullying evolves with technology and therefore must continually be re-examined to understand the impact of new technological developments on cyberbullying behaviours 6 7 KEY FACTS ABOUT BULLYING Section Reference5 Over 1,100,000 Canadian school-aged students are bullied at least once, each and every week Peers are present during 88% of bullying incidents When peers are present, they: o 54% of the time – passively watch o 25% of the time – intervene to stop the bullying o 21% of the time – join in on the bullying When peers intervene, bullying stops in less than 10 seconds, 57% of the time 83% of students say bullying makes them feel uncomfortable Students don’t always stand up to bullying because: o They are anxious about being bullied themselves o They don’t want to alienate themselves from their peers o They simply don’t know what to do or say Research suggests that it is the popular or self-confident students who do tend to intervene by directly addressing peers who bully We encourage two additional ways to stand up to bullying: o Offering support and comfort to the child/youth who is victimized o Report the bullying to a responsible adult DISPELLING MYTHS: ADDITIONAL FACTS ABOUT BULLYING Section Reference6 MYTH: Bullying does not cause any serious harm. FACTS: Victimized children are more likely to report headaches and stomach aches than non- victimized children. Children who both bully and are victimized may be at greatest risk for physical health problems. Victimized children are more likely to report anxiety and depressive symptoms than children who have not been bullied. Of greatest concern is the finding that mental health issues associated with involvement in bullying tend to persist into later life. A high risk of suicidal ideation (having thoughts of suicide) is found among children who are bullied, who bully others and who are involved in both of those roles. Both victimized children and children who bully are at risk for poor school functioning, in terms of poor attitudes toward school, lower grades and absenteeism. 20-25% of frequently victimized children report bullying as the reason for missing school. Youth who bully others are more likely to use alcohol and drugs, and are at risk for later criminality. MYTH: Only a small number of children have problems with bullying. FACTS: A World Health Organization study7 of Grade 6 to 10 students conducted in 2006 found that 36% of students reported being bullied and 39% reported bullying others at least once in the previous couple of months. o In the same study, 4% of Grade 6 students reported being bullied several times a week in the previous couple of months. At some point, the majority of children will engage in some form of bullying and experience some form of victimization. A small minority of children will have frequent, long-lasting, serious and pervasive involvement in bullying and/or victimization. 8 9 MYTH: Reporting bullying will only make the problem worse. FACTS: Because of the power imbalance that exists in bullying, it is incredibly difficult for children who are being victimized to remove themselves from destructive bullying relationships. Adult intervention is required to correct the power imbalance. Children and parents may have to report the bullying to more than one person before the behaviour will stop. Victimized children who told an adult about being bullied reported being less victimized the following year compared to children who did not report being bullied. Secrecy increases the power of children who bully and allows the bullying to continue. MYTH: Children who are victimized need to fight back. FACTS: Encouraging children who are victimized to fight back will likely escalate the situation and make the bullying interaction worse. When children use aggressive strategies to manage bullying situations, they tend to experience prolonged and more severe bullying interactions as a result.

Two new species of Andinopanurgus Gonzalez & Engel are described: Andinopanur- gus chirosimpson Packer, new species, from northwest Argentina extends the range of the genus south by more than 2000 km and A. lynnae Packer, new species, from Peru. The new species seem to belong to Gonzalez & Engel’s “guarnensis species group” but difer from it in the highly modifed setae on S4, which are divided into two to four branches (in A. chirosimpson, the four- branched ones of which look like a thumbless hand and are the source of the specifc epithet) to two to fve branches (in A. lynnae). The female of A. amyae (Gonzalez & Engel) is described for the frst time. INTRODUCTION Andinopanurgus was described by Gonzalez & Engel (2011) as a subgenus of Pro- tandrena Cockerell, based upon fve previously described species (all by Gonzalez & Ruz, 2007) and two that they described as new. It was subsequently raised to generic rank with an eighth species being described (Gonzalez et al., 2019). These authors also summarized the limited natural history information available for the group. An- dinopanurgus ranges from Venezuela to Peru, occurring at moderate to high altitudes, from 1100 m to over 4000 m (Gonzalez & Engel, 2011; Gonzalez et al., 2019). In this paper I describe the ninth and tenth species of Andinopanurgus, one of which extends the range of the genus substantially further south to Tucumán Province in Argentina.

Gonzalez1, C. Rasmussen2, & Michael S. Engel3 Abstract. The protandrenine bee genus Liphanthus Reed (Panurginae: Protandrenini) is cur- rently known from Chile and Argentina. Liphanthus (Melaliphanthus) cuscoensis Gonzalez, Rasmussen, & Engel, new species, is described and figured from a male collected in Cusco, Peru, at 4167 meters of elevation. This finding represents the northernmost record for the genus and the fourth protandrenine species described from Peru. An updated key to the species of the subgenus Melaliphanthus Ruz & Toro is provided. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to describe a new species of the protandrenine bee ge- nus Liphanthus Reed from Peru. The genus Liphanthus is currently known from Chile and Argentina, and consists of 33 species grouped in seven subgenera, except for five species whose subgeneric placement remains uncertain (Ruz & Toro, 1983; Tapia & Ruz, 2003; Michener, 2007; Moure et al., 2007; Vivallo, 2008; Gonzalez et al., 2013). The new species described herein belongs to the subgenus Melaliphanthus Ruz & Toro, a group consisting of only three species currently known from the Chilean provinces of Malleco and Arauco (Liphanthus atratus Ruz & Toro and L. penai Ruz & Toro) and the Argentinean province of Mendoza (L. inornatus Vivallo). The Peruvian species was collected in the Altiplano region at 4167 m elevation between Cusco, Puno, and Arequipa, thus representing the northernmost record for the genus; the province of 1 Department of Biological Sciences, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, 100 Campus Drive, Weatherford, Oklahoma 73096, USA ([email protected]).

  • Journal of Melittology Bee Biology, Ecology, Evolution, & Systematics the Latest Buzz in Bee Biology No
    Journal of Melittology Bee Biology, Ecology, Evolution, & Systematics The latest buzz in bee biology No. 12, pp. 1–6 11 June 2013 BRIEF COMMUNICATION The large carpenter bee Xylocopa augusti (Hymenoptera: Apidae): New record for Chile José Montalva1, Juan L. Allendes2, & Mariano Lucia3 Abstract. The large carpenter bee Xylocopa (Neoxylocopa) augusti Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1841, is here recorded for the first time in Chile. This new record increases to four the number of carpenter bees known for the country. Host plant associations for X. augusti in Chile are pro- vided. A key to the species of Xylocopa Latreille in Chile as well as comments on the presence of X. (N.) bruesi Cockerell in the country are also presented. INTRODUCTION The genus Xylocopa Latreille (Xylocopinae: Xylocopini) comprises approximately 470 described species worldwide (Michener, 2007). These bees are commonly known as carpenter bees owing to their behavior of building nests in dead wood, hollow stems, and structural timbers of human constructions (Hurd & Moure, 1963; Gerling et al., 1989). About 110 species in 12 subgenera are known in the Neotropical region (Ospina, 2000; Michener, 2007). The diversity of this group in Chile is relatively low when compared to neighboring countries, with only three species recorded to date: Xylocopa (Neoxylocopa) bruesi Cockerell, 1914; X. (Schonnherria) splendidula Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1841; and X. (S.) viridigastra Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1841 (Montalva et al., 2008; Montalva & Ruz, 2010). The record of X. bruesi in Chile requires confirmation. This species was first list- ed by Ruiz (1940) as X. brasilianorum bruesi and subsequently cited by other authors (Ospina, 2000; Moure, 2007; Montalva et al., 2008; Montalva & Ruz, 2010).
