“…Beekeeping is a significant human activity as well as an important component of the bioeconomy [ 4 ]. Furthermore, beekeeping provides several ecological services, many of which are important to humans [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Beekeeping products are used in food and medicine, and beekeepers profit financially [ 10 ].…”

Beekeeping is essential for the global food supply, yet honeybee health and hive numbers are increasingly threatened by habitat alteration, climate change, agrochemical overuse, pathogens, diseases, and insect pests. However, pests and diseases that have unknown spatial distribution and influences are blamed for diminishing honeybee colonies over the world. The greater wax moth (GWM), Galleria mellonella, is a pervasive pest of the honeybee, Apis mellifera. It has an international distribution that causes severe loss to the beekeeping industry. The GWM larvae burrow into the edge of unsealed cells that have pollen, bee brood, and honey through to the midrib of the wax comb. Burrowing larvae leave behind masses of webs that cause honey to leak out and entangle emerging bees, resulting in death by starvation, a phenomenon called galleriasis. In this study, the maximum entropy algorithm implemented in (Maxent) model was used to predict the global spatial distribution of GWM throughout the world. Two representative concentration pathways (RCPs) 2.6 and 8.5 of three global climate models (GCMs), were used to forecast the global distribution of GWM in 2050 and 2070. The Maxent models for GWM provided a high value of the Area Under Curve equal to 0.8 ± 0.001, which was a satisfactory result. Furthermore, True Skilled Statistics assured the perfection of the resultant models with a value equal to 0.7. These values indicated a significant correlation between the models and the ecology of the pest species. The models also showed a very high habitat suitability for the GWM in hot-spot honey exporting and importing countries. Furthermore, we extrapolated the economic impact of such pests in both feral and wild honeybee populations and consequently the global market of the honeybee industry.

“…Senna corymbosa is related to environmental and ecosystem services being used by farmers as green manure and to improve soil quality. In addition, it has apicultural importance in the production of honey by Apidae Meliponini (Gomes et al, 2019), since the flowers are yellow-gold colored, which attract pollinating insects (Rodrigues et al, 2005). This species also presents medicinal properties among its characteristics (Simões et al, 1995).…”

Damage Caused by Seed-Feeding Insects in Senna corymbosa: A New Host Plant for the Subfamily Bruchinae

et al. 2021

In the larval stage, bruchines can cause several damages to the seeds of their host plants due to the consumption of the embryo. The aim of this study was to identify the species of seed-feeding insects in Senna corymbosa (Fabaceae) and quantify the damage caused to seeds. For this purpose, ripe fruits of S. corymbosa were collected monthly from May to August 2014. The fruits were stored in containers to obtain the adult insects and quantify the damage to the seeds. A total of 3,548 seed beetles emerged from the fruits, around 89% belonging to Sennius lateapicalis. Insects consume up to 43.2% of the internal seed content. Moreover, the seed beetles Hymenoptera parasitoids emerged. In this study, seed-feeding insects are recorded for the first time in S. corymbosa. In addition, it contributes to describing fruits and seeds, as well as associated bruchine species and the damage they cause to seeds.

“…That is why environmental services are been considered by these authors a positive benefit that people obtain from the environment. In a different perspective, ecosystem services could be considered as "provided" by the ecological interactions and biogeochemical cycles of nature, benefiting humans indirectly (Costanza et al, 2011), while environmental services would be carried out by humans (as organizations, communities, or individuals) through the aggregation of capital and labour for the benefit of nature (Gomes et al, 2019). Aligned to this last framework, Wunder (2015) defined Payment for Environmental Services as "voluntary transactions between service users and service providers that are conditional on agreed rules of natural resource management for generating offsite services".…”

Potencial efectividad económica de los Pagos por Servicios Ambientales en un área protegida en el estado de Amazonas (Brasil)

La implementación de esquemas de pago por servicios ambientales (PSA) en áreas públicas protegidas plantea varias preguntas en los ámbitos económico, social y ambiental. En este documento, analizamos el caso del Programa Bolsa Floresta (PBF) de Brasil, establecido en las Unidades de Conservación de la Naturaleza del estado de Amazonas y considerado uno de los programas más grandes del mundo en términos de área de cobertura. Primero, verificamos si el programa realmente cumple con los requisitos de un PSA típico: condicionalidad, adicionalidad y voluntariedad. En segundo lugar, buscamos evaluar los dos requisitos clave para que un PSA funcione bien: efectividad económica y sostenibilidad ecológica. Al estudiar el caso de la Reserva de Desarrollo Sostenible de Uatumã, determinamos que los pagos realizados no cubren los costos de oportunidad del proveedor-receptor, lo que resulta en la no entrega de los servicios ambientales contratados. El área total de bosque secundario (SF) disponible para ser incorporada en sucesivos ciclos de cultivo puede no ser lo suficientemente grande como para permitir períodos de barbecho de una duración lo suficientemente larga para que la fertilidad del suelo se recupere completamente. La intensificación de las actividades agrícolas en las áreas de SF puede conducir a una degradación del sistema agrícola tradicional y la consecuente pérdida de los servicios ecosistémicos que este sistema puede proporcionar potencialmente. En resumen, estos impactos negativos indican que, al menos en el DEG de Uatumã, el BFP podría no ser efectivo a medio o largo plazo.
