Couverture géographique

Systematic surveys of bumble bees from 31 sites in 15 states within the contiguous United States.

Enveloppe géographique Sud Ouest [23,886, -170,859], Nord Est [71,525, -64,775]

Couverture taxonomique

The most common of the 30 species encountered was B. impatiens, the common eastern bumble bee, which comprised 36.04% (n = 1172) of the bees encountered nationwide. Several species were represented by only one (B. vandykei) or two (B. flavidus, B. insularis, and B. melanopygus) individuals in the surveys.

Données sur le projet

Bumble bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus) are economically and ecologically important pollinators in agroecosystems and wildland habitats. In the Nearctic region, there are approximately 41 species, of which the IUCN lists twelve species as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered. We conducted a standardized faunal survey to inform ongoing conservation efforts including petitions under review for the Endangered Species Act. Furthermore, we test the appropriateness of a methodology for accurately sampling bumble bee communities.

Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche The distribution of bumble bee species across the landscape of North America is complex, and various geographic and biological constraints tend to define species distributions (J. B. Koch, Looney, Sheppard, & Strange, 2017; Lozier, Strange, Stewart, & Cameron, 2011; P. H. Williams et al., 2014). In the contiguous 48 states there exists a strong regional signature in the composition of bumble bee communities. For example, a distinct assemblage of bumble bee species occurs along the Pacific Coast (J. B. Koch et al., 2017), and while some of the species also occur east of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountain ranges, six species are mainly restricted to the Pacific coast region (J. Koch, Strange, & Williams, 2012; P. H. Williams et al., 2014). Another group of bumble bees is less geographically restricted, but is more constrained to habitat, occurring only in high mountain, alpine areas in the southwest and reappearing in lower elevations in northern states (Jackson et al., 2018; Lozier, Strange, & Koch, 2013), Canada (Hatten, Strange, & Maxwell, 2015) and Alaska (J. B. Koch & Strange, 2012; P. Williams, 2013).
Description du design At each site, a collection of approximately 100 foraging bees was taken in a single day between 10:00 and 18:00 local time. We only collected in good weather conditions defined as: temperature 15-35°C, no precipitation, <50% cloud cover, and wind speed <15km/hr. We conducted surveys using two or three collectors using aerial insect nests to capture bumble bees as they foraged on flowering plants for pollen or nectar. Collectors captured foraging bees until a total of 100 worker or male bees were taken at a site, where possible. In most cases, sites were defined as an agricultural field and the field margin directly surrounding the field. However, non-agricultural sites were defined as a patch of flowers not to exceed 5 hectares. Collectors conducted a random walk through the patch or field margins, collecting a bee, stopping to process the bee, then continuing to the next bee they encountered. Netted bees were placed in individual vials and chilled and then given a preliminary field species determination before being killed by freezing on dry ice, except for five sites where time constrains prohibited field identification. Frozen bees were transported back to the USDA-ARS- Pollinating Insect- Biology, Management and Systematics Research Unit in Logan, UT where field species identifications were verified or corrected using available taxonomic keys (J. Koch et al., 2012; Mitchell, 1962; P. H. Williams et al., 2014). Specific determinations, sex determination and site metadata were recorded in a database for further analyses.

Etendue de l'étude In 2015 (26-Jun to 10-Aug), we conducted systematic surveys of bumble bees from 31 sites in 15 states (Fig 1). Survey efforts were focused on areas where bumble bees are important for agricultural production and over half of our collections occurred in agricultural landscapes with the majority of other collections being in suburban landscapes adjacent to agricultural areas.
