Diversidad de las abejas nativas de la tribu <i>Meliponini</i> (Hymenoptera, Apidae) en Argentina

Abstract: Las abejas (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) constituyen un grupo de insectos diverso y ampliamente distribuido que comprende alrededor de 18000 especies descriptas y representa uno de los grupos de insectos más importantes por su papel en la polinización de numerosas plantas con flores. En nuestro país están representadas cinco familias de abejas: Colletidae, Andrenidae, Halictidae, Megachilidae y Apidae. En esta última las tribus Apini, Meliponini, Bombini y Euglossini conforman un grupo monofilético conocido como “a… Show more

“…Knowledge about stingless bees in the Argentine Yungas is in its initial stage. Of the 17 stingless bee species reported for this phytogeographic province ( � Alvarez 2016), only two have been studied: Tetragonisca fiebrigi (Flores and S� anchez 2010) and Plebeia mansita (Flores et al 2015). In this work we provide reliable information on the plant sources that provide nectar and shelter sites for Plebeia mansita hives, complementing the work of Flores et al (2015) in the same locality.…”

“…Trophic resources have only been studied in seven of the 37 ANSA species reported for Argentina ( � Alvarez 2016), generally linked to meliponiculture activities (breeding and management of ANSA) and the use of their resources in situ (Flores et al 2021). The greatest progress has been made on the bee Tetragonisca fiebrigi (Schwarz), whose honey was incorporated into the Argentine Food Code in 2019 (Flores and S� anchez 2010;Vossler et al 2014;Fern� andez et al 2015;Vossler 2015;Miranda et al 2018;Vossler 2019a;Avalos 2020;Flores et al 2021).…”

“…Among the Hymenoptera pollinating insects, the Apoidea superfamily includes the native stingless bees of the Meliponini tribe, which are eusocial insects with generalist foraging behaviors. They find their greatest diversity in the Neotropical region, registering approximately 400 species (Camargo & Pedro, 2007;Michener, 2007) and reach their southern distribution limit in northern and central Argentina (Roig-Alsina et al, 2013;Álvarez & Abramovich, 2015;Álvarez, 2015;Zamudio & Álvarez, 2016;Álvarez & Lucia, 2018). In Argentina, the members of the Meliponini tribe are mainly associated with wooded and jungle areas in the north of the country and so far 35 species of stingless bees have been cited (Roig-Alsina et al, 2013;Álvarez et al, 2016).…”

“…Usually in these environments they use holes and cavities in tree trunks or on thick branches to install their colonies, so the availability of substrates for nesting could be a limiting factor (Rasmussen & Camargo, 2008;Vossler, 2012;Palacio, 2021). In Santiago del Estero, seven species have been recorded (Diodato et al, 2008;Álvarez, 2015;Chianetta et al, 2020;Palacio 2021); however, requirements of each species to nest in the forest and the presence of particular tree-bee associations have been scarcely studied. The objective of this communication is to describe a simple method to confirm the occurrence of active nests of native stingless bees from Argentine Chaco ecoregion which could serve and help other people in the recording of nests of these species, especially in winter, when they decrease their daily activity and other methods become inaccurate.…”
