Abstract

Bee males are sometimes found forming sleeping aggregations on stems of bushes or trees to sleep at night, but there is no complete understanding of the reasons for this behaviour. This note describes the behavior of Melissodes (Ecplectica) nigroaenea (Smith, 1854) males forming temporary sleeping aggregations in dry inflorescences of Bidens pilosa L. The sleeping aggregations of M. nigroaenea were observed for approximately 15 days in an area of Cerrado, Brasília, DF. During the day M. nigroaenea males visit flowers of Cosmos sulphureus Cav. near the sleeping aggregations, where the females collect pollen. In the late afternoon, the males return to the sleeping aggregations, where they sleep at night. These data provide new information about the behavior of M. nigroaenea males.

巴西Cerrado的黑尾蜂(Ecpletica)(Smith,1854)(膜翅目,蜂科,真蜂属)的雄性睡眠群落
有时会发现雄性蜜蜂在灌木丛或树干上形成睡眠群落,以便在晚上睡觉,但目前还不完全了解这种行为的原因。本注释描述了黑尾轮虫Melissodes(Ecpletica)nigroaena(Smith,1854)雄性在鬼针草干燥的花序中形成临时睡眠聚集的行为。在DF Brasília的Cerrado地区观察到黑尾轮藻的睡眠聚集约15天。在白天,M.nigroaena雄性参观硫磺花。在雌性采集花粉的休眠群落附近。下午晚些时候,雄性返回睡眠群落,晚上在那里睡觉。这些数据提供了关于黑脊灰蝶雄性行为的新信息。

期刊介绍: SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes high quality articles that significantly contribute to the knowledge of Entomology, with emphasis on social insects. Articles previously submitted to other journals are not accepted. SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes original research papers and invited review articles on all aspects related to the biology, evolution and systematics of social and pre-social insects (Ants, Termites, Bees and Wasps). The journal is currently expanding its scope to incorporate the publication of articles dealing with other arthropods that exhibit sociality. Articles may cover a range of subjects such as ecology, ethology, morphology, population genetics, physiology, toxicology, reproduction, sociobiology, caste differentiation as well as economic impact and pest management.
