“…Typically, nontarget species collected in these traps are stored but not processed, or discarded. Even the small and biased samples of nontarget bee species collected by nontraditional trapping methods provide valuable insights when added to larger specimen and literature databases (Hung et al 2015, Spears andRamirez 2015). In our study, by-catch provided samples from a variety of localities throughout Montana that may not otherwise have been represented (e.g.…”

Montana supports a diverse assemblage of bumble bees (Bombus Latreille) due to its size, landscape diversity, and location at the junction of known geographic ranges of North American species. We compiled the first inventory of Bombus species in Montana, using records from 25 natural history collections and labs engaged in bee research, collected over the past 125 years, as well as specimens collected specifically for this project during the summer of 2015. Over 12,000 records are included, with 28 species of Bombus now confirmed in the state. Based on information from nearby regions, four additional species are predicted to occur in Montana. Of the 28 species, Bombus bimaculatus Cresson and Bombus borealis Kirby are new state records. The presence of B. borealis was previously predicted, but the presence of B. bimaculatus in Montana represents a substantial extension of its previously reported range. Four additional "eastern" bumble bee species are recorded from the state, and three species pairs thought to replace one another from the eastern to western United States are now known to be sympatric in Montana. Additionally, our data are consistent with reported declines in populations of Bombus occidentalis Greene and Bombus suckleyi Greene, highlighting a need for targeted surveys of these two species in Montana.

“…While the above studies were done in nonagricultural environments, they underscore the potential for bycatch or nontarget captures to contribute important and perhaps unexpected information. Bycatch not intended to be used can be made available to appropriate specialists to avoid waste [214].…”

Beneficial arthropods provide many important ecosystem services. In agroecosystems, pollination and control of crop pests provide benefits worth billions of dollars annually. Effective sampling and monitoring of these beneficial arthropods is essential for ensuring their short- and long-term viability and effectiveness. There are numerous methods available for sampling beneficial arthropods in a variety of habitats, and these methods can vary in efficiency and effectiveness. In this paper I review active and passive sampling methods for non-Apis bees and arthropod natural enemies of agricultural pests, including methods for sampling flying insects, arthropods on vegetation and in soil and litter environments, and estimation of predation and parasitism rates. Sample sizes, lethal sampling, and the potential usefulness of bycatch are also discussed.

“…Plasmas 25, 056308 (2018) certain scale and with a corresponding DT fuel mass (M DT-rev5 ¼ 171 lg) and so comparison of different scales and initial fuel masses requires care. Recent work 44,[46][47][48] has shown that the yield (experimental yield with alpha heating) should be normalized by the DT fuel mass, if fuel thickness scales with size, because of the re-expression of the ignition metrics in terms of yield rather than temperature. This comes from the balance of hotspot internal energy to shell kinetic energy used in expressing yield in terms of T i and M DT .…”
