  • 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.

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.

  • Swarth, C. Et Al. the 2007 Jug Bay Bioblitz Reliort. 2008
    2007 Jug Bay BioBlitz Report Christopher Swarth, Lindsay Hollister, Elaine Friebele, Karyn Molines and Susan Matthews Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary December 2008 Introduction A BioBlitz is a 24-hour field survey and inventory of organisms in a well-defined area such as a park or other natural area. The objective of this intensive survey is to generate a catalog or list of all species that are identified or collected during the brief survey period. The first BioBlitz in the United States was conducted in 1996 in Washington, DC. Today dozens of BioBlitzes are held annually in the United States (see Wikipedia Encyclopedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioBlitz. A BioBlitz increases local knowledge of biodiversity and involves local naturalists and the public in coordinated fieldwork and observation. The surveys raise the awareness among the general public about the natural world and the importance of biodiversity. The species distribution and occurrence information that is obtained from a BioBlitz also provides resource managers with a deeper understanding of the natural lands under their management, thus enabling improved habitat stewardship. The 2007 Jug Bay BioBlitz took place at the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary over a 24-hour period, from 12:00 (noon) on 15 September to 12:00 on 16 September. We organized this event in order to take advantage of the growing interest in biodiversity by the public and to tap in to the community of active, highly skilled naturalists in the Washington DC/Baltimore area. For this first-time effort we concentrated the field surveys on groups of organisms for which local biogeographical information was poor or incomplete (for example, ants, ground bees, spiders and zooplankton), rather than on the groups for which our knowledge on distribution was relatively thorough such as birds and herps.

  • A Comparison of Bee Communities Between Primary and Mature Secondary Forests in the Longleaf Pine Ecosystem Michael D
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A comparison of bee communities between primary and mature secondary forests in the longleaf pine ecosystem Michael D. Ulyshen1*, Scott Pokswinski2 & J. Kevin Hiers2 Much of the once-dominant longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) ecosystem has been lost from the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States and only a few scattered remnants of primary forest remain. Despite much interest in understanding and restoring this ecosystem, relatively few studies have attempted to characterize or assess the conservation status of the longleaf bee fauna. The objective of this study was to compare the diversity and composition of bee communities between primary and mature secondary (>100 years old) fre-maintained forests in Georgia and Florida. We used colored pan traps to sample bees at three primary and four secondary locations divided between two regions characterized by sandy (Eglin Air Force Base) or clayey (Red Hills) soils. There were no overall diferences between primary and secondary forests in bee richness, diversity, evenness or abundance. Community composition difered among locations but we found no evidence that primary remnants provide critical habitat to sensitive bee species. Natural habitats play a key role in supporting diverse pollinator populations (i.e., bees, fies, butterfies, etc.) and the conversion of these areas to intensive agriculture has been identifed as one of the major drivers of pollinator declines1,2. Eforts to understand bee diversity in natural habitats and how these organisms are afected by distur- bance history and management decisions are therefore of great interest. Although the value of forests to pollina- tors has received relatively little attention compared to other land use categories, it is clear that forest type, forest age, disturbance history, management practices and other factors can strongly infuence the diversity of bees and other fower-visiting insects3,4.

Berenbaum, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Urbana, IL, and approved February 1, 2013 (received for review October 24, 2012) Pollinators such as bees are essential to the functioning of ter- characterized by particularly intensive land use and may not be restrial ecosystems. However, despite concerns about a global representative of changes in the status of bees in other parts of pollinator crisis, long-term data on the status of bee species are the world. Thus, the existence of a widespread crisis in pollinator limited. We present a long-term study of relative rates of change declines, as often portrayed in the media and elsewhere (4), rests for an entire regional bee fauna in the northeastern United States, on data of limited taxonomic or geographic scope. based on >30,000 museum records representing 438 species. Over Environmental change affects species differentially, creating a 140-y period, aggregate native species richness weakly de- “losers” that decline with increased human activity, but also creased, but richness declines were significant only for the genus “winners” that thrive in human-altered environments (14).

  • The Effects of Semi-Natural Habitat and Wildflower Plantings on Ecosystem Services, Bee Communities, and Tick Populations
    The effects of semi-natural habitat and wildflower plantings on ecosystem services, bee communities, and tick populations Christopher T. McCullough Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Horticulture Megan O’Rourke - Chair Thomas Kuhar Sarah Karpanty Jacob Barney May 8th, 2020 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: biological control, natural habitat, yield, pollinators, lone star tick Creative Commons, CC BY-NC The effects of wildflower plots and diverse landscapes on ecosystem services, bee communities, and on-farm tick abundance Christopher T. McCullough ABSTRACT Conservation of natural habitats and planting wildflower plots are two commonly promoted tactics to enhance pollination services and biological control of crop pests, which are ecosystem services that can improve agricultural outputs. There are several programs at various levels of government in the United States that landowners can use to defray the costs of implementing these conservation strategies. Studies of European Agricultural Environmental Schemes have shown these tactics to have positive outcomes for crop production. However, real-world applications of cost-sharing programs have not been evaluated in the United States on pollination services and biological control. Furthermore, these tactics may inadvertently perform ecosystem disservices, like increasing crop pests or creating habitat for disease vectors. In this study, we evaluated the effects of natural habit and wildflower plots on biological control, pollination services, bee communities, and tick populations in Eastern Virginia and Maryland. This research was conducted on 22 farms. 10 of these farms had wildflower plots that were designed by Natural Resource Conservation Service personnel, and implemented by cooperating farmers.

The Packer Collection at York University (PCYU) contains one of the largest research collections of wild bees in the world. A female metallic green sweat bee, Augochlora pura, visits a flower in search of pollen and nectar for herself or to construct a pollen ball, which she will later lay an egg upon. This species makes nests in wood rather than in the ground like most of its relatives. Females of this bee species are solitary - working alone - tirelessly foraging on flowers to increase her contribution to the number of bees in the following generation. Active from late spring to late summer, this bee can have two or more generations per year with only mated females overwintering as adults. Most of Toronto’s bees spend the winter as fully grown larvae in the nest, emerging once per year in sync with the timing of the native flowers they prefer.
