Floral Resource Partitioning between Centris (Heterocentris) analis (Fabricius, 1804) and Centris (Heterocentris) terminata Smith, 1874 (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Centridini), in an Urban Fragment of the Atlantic Forest

Abstract: The knowledge on plant species used for the collection of floral resources is crucial to understanding interactions between plants and bees. The aim of the present study was to identify floral resources used by Centris analis and Centris terminata to provision brood cells and determine the niche breadth and overlap of these two species in a fragment of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. This study was conducted at the Universidade Federal da Bahia and Parque Zoobotânico Getúlio Vargas, both of which are located in… Show more

“…A knowledge of food sources is essential for understanding the associations between bees and plants (Lima et al, 2017). As such, awareness of the chemical composition of floral oils, an essential resource for nesting and brood feeding in oil-collecting bees, can allow measures to be taken for conserving bee species of this group by adopting practices that favour the presence of plant species that produces the specific oils they prefer, as well as developing techniques for agricultural pollination which employ the bees.…”

“…A composição das famílias de plantas utilizadas pelas abelhas, de maneira geral, já foi citada na literatura em estudos sobre nicho alimentar e a maioria aparece sendo abundante, independente da metodologia aplicada ou da área de coleta (Aguiar, 2003;Aguiar & Santos, 2007;Cortopassi-Laurino et al, 2003;Menezes et al, 2012;Santos R. et al, 2013;Carvalho et al, 2014;Aidar et al, 2015;Diniz & Buschini, 2015;Rabelo et al, 2015;Aguiar et al, 2017;Lima et al, 2017;Ferreira & Absy, 2018;Rocha-Filho et al, 2018). O que difere entre os resultados é que, dependendo da área e do método de coleta, são vistos variados tipos dentro das famílias de plantas e diferentes importâncias dessas famílias para as abelhas.…”

“…Como é conhecido na literatura (Ramalho & Silva, 2002;Gaglianone, 2003;Rêgo et al, 2006;Mendes & Rêgo, 2007;Ramos et al, 2007;Vilhena & Augusto, 2007;Vieira et al, 2008;Bezerra et al, 2009;Dórea et al, 2009;2017;Mello et al, 2013;Santos R. et al, 2013;Rabelo, et al, 2015;Aguiar et al, 2017;Lima et al, 2017;Rocha-Filho et al, 2018) (Aguiar, 2003;Aguiar & Santos, 2007;Aguiar et al, 2013) provavelmente por eles terem utilizado a metodologia de coleta em flor, que é limitado pelo que o observador consegue ver florido além da eficiência de coleta de cada coletor também influenciar no resultado. Dorado et al (2011) Tetrapedia curvitarsis e T. diversipes tiveram maior sobreposição entre seus nichos chegando a mais de 90% no cerrado.…”
