Wild bees of the proposed nature reserve "Skarpa Wiślana" in Męćaemierz (Kazimierski Landscape Park). Part 1 – long-tongued bees Megachilidae and Apidae

Abstract

This paper presents data on bees of the families Megachilidae and Apidae (Apoidea) of the proposed nature reserve "Skarpa Wiślana" in Męćaemierz (Kazimierski Landscape Park). Distributional and phenological data are given. Thirty-one species of Megachilidae and forty-three species of Apidae were collected. For rare and very rare species (Anthidium oblongatum (ILLIGER, 1806); Heriades crenulatus NYLANDER, 1856; Hoplitis claviventris (THOMSON,1872); Hoplitis papaveris (LATREILLE, 1799); Megachile genalis MORAWITZ, 1880; Osmia cerinthidis MORAWITZ, 1876; Stelis odontopyga NOSKIEWICZ, 1926; Stelis ornatula (KLUG,1807); Epeoloides coecutiens (F ABRICIUS , 1775); Eucera interrupta BAER, 1850; Nomada bifasciata OLIVIER, 1811; Nomada stigma FABRICIUS, 1804; Nomada zonata PANZER, 1798) this paper summarizes information about their distribution in 21st century in Poland, as well as data on their bionomics and their present status of threat in Europe.

A new locality of the European yellow sac spider Cheiracanthium punctorium (Villers, 1789) (Araneae: Cheiracanthiidae) in eastern Poland

“…This is substantiated by numerous reports of other xerothermophilous arthropod species (e.g. Borański et al 2019, Buszko 1997, Byk et al 2020, Kucharczyk 1997.…”

First record of Lithurgus cornutus (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Megachilidae) from Poland

“…The records of the new localites of L. cornutus in Poland, as well as the recent finding from Belarus – Krichev (VE15) ( Khvir 2019 ), suggest the expansion of its range of occurrence to the north, which in turn, may be related to global warming in this part of Europe. Climate change is regarded as one of the major factors triggering the spread of species in new areas and dynamic changes in species distribution in relation to climate warming have already been documented in other bee species ( Banaszak et al 2019 , Borański et al 2019a , Biella et al 2020 ).…”
