Conservation ecology of bees: populations, species and communities

Abstract: -Recent concerns regarding the decline of plant and pollinator species, and the impact on ecosystem functioning, has focused attention on the local and global threats to bee diversity. As evidence for bee declines is now accumulating from over broad taxonomic and geographic scales, we review the role of ecology in bee conservation at the levels of species, populations and communities. Bee populations and communities are typified by considerable spatiotemporal variation; whereby autecological traits, population… Show more

“…A l l t h e abovementioned causes can result in habitat loss and fragmentation that may affect various pollinators, including honeybees (Donaldson et al 2002;Brown and Paxton 2009;Dietemann et al 2009;Munyuli 2011;Goulson et al 2015). In particular, the transition from natural to agricultural farmland and the planting of monocultures change floral diversity and may impact the nutritional requirements and fitness of honeybees (Johannsmeier and Mostert 2001;Murray et al 2009;Goulson et al 2015). Indeed, genetic diversity of the honeybee population is reduced in agricultural vs. natural areas (Jaffé et al 2010).…”

“…Several further divisions have been recognized within the aforementioned lineages via sequencing of the intergenic region (Franck et al 2001;De la Rúa et al 2001;Pinto et al 2012). Based on these molecular markers, Iberian honey bee populations have been recognized as part of a cline from North Africa to Europe (Cánovas et al 2008;Pinto et al 2013), while honey bee populations from the Atlantic coast including the Macaronesian region have been distinguished as an African sublineage with Atlantic distribution (De la Rúa et al 2006Rúa et al , 2009Muñoz et al 2013, Murray et al 2009). …”

“…The accelerating losses of natural habitats in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, including the Pantanal, are primarily driven by this region`s harboring one of the largest herds of beef cattle in Brazil and thousands kilometers are used mainly for soybean crop (Harris et al 2005). Given the key role bee pollinators play in wild and agricultural ecosystems (Kevan & Phillips 2001, Kevan & Imperatriz-Fonseca 2002, Murray et al 2009), we present a list of plant species visited by bees and species of bees occurring in natural forest patches in the Brazilian Pantanal wetland. This is the first reported survey of bees from Southern Pantanal, representing new records of some species for the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.…”
