ABSTRACT: We document the first New England records of the bee Perdita bequaerti Viereck. Perdita bequaerti is a specialist on Asteraceae flowers, especially Helianthus, and is native to much of eastern North America, where it is often associated with predominantly sandy habitats. Previous records indicated P. bequaerti reached the northeastern extent of its range in the state of New York, but in August 2019, during a survey of bees on Helianthus, we collected five specimens of P. bequaerti at two sites in western Massachusetts. Both sites were located on small-scale farms with abundant non-native Helianthus, on soils characteristic of sandy outwash plains and silty floodplains. These records constitute an extension of P. bequaerti's known range into New England.

ABSTRACT: Stelis costalis Cresson is an anthidiine cuckoo bee known from Texas and Mexico. Currently, it is placed in the subgenus Dolichostelis, a small group of seven species (Parker and Bohart, 1979; Gonzalez et al., 2012). To date, its members have only been reported laying their eggs in the nests of various resin-using species of Megachile (Chelostomoides) (Table 1). Here, I report on the successful parasitism of a nest of the introduced resin-using bee, Megachile (Callomegachile) sculpturalis Smith by S. costalis.
摘要:杜鹃蜜蜂是一种产于美国德克萨斯州和墨西哥的蜜蜂。目前，它被归为Dolichostelis亚属，一个由7种组成的小团体(Parker and Bohart, 1979;Gonzalez et al.， 2012)。迄今为止，其成员只报道过在各种使用树脂的巨型蜜蜂(Chelostomoides)的巢穴中产卵(表1)。在这里，我报告了s.c ostalis引入的使用树脂的蜜蜂Megachile (Callomegachile) sculpturalis Smith的巢穴中成功寄生的情况。

ABSTRACT: The taxonomy of neotenic female strepsipterans has previously relied upon characteristics of color, measurements of the cephalothorax, and identification of the host for species identification, but these characters have proven mostly uninformative in defining species. Taxonomically important characters of females of the genus Xenos (Strepsiptera: Xenidae) are presented, which should provide for species level identification using females in the genus Xenos, and these methods should be generally applicable to other strepsipterans. Xenos kifunei, X. nigrescens, and X. peckii are re-described using these characters.

ABSTRACT: Amblyomma americanum (Ixodida: Ixodidae) is Missouri's most common tick species and a carrier of bacterial pathogens. The objectives of this study were to analyze tick abundance and seasonality in two locations in central Missouri, to compare the effectiveness of dragging and dry ice trap sampling methods for collecting A. americanum in the field, and to analyze tick developmental stage collection pattern. We collected ticks from Knob Noster State Park, in Johnson County, Missouri and Mark Twain National Forest, in Boone County, Missouri. On eight dates from May to November, we collected ticks simultaneously at both locations, using dry ice traps and drag sampling. Of the 7,475 collected ticks, 99.7% were A. americanum. We found the most larvae in August and September, the most nymphs in June and July, and the most adults in June. Drag sampling collected more nymphs at Columbia than Knob Noster on one sampling date in the late summer. Abundance did not differ between locations at any other time point, regardless of developmental stage or sampling method. Compared to the drag method, significantly more nymphs and adults were identified using the dry ice trap sampling method. Additionally, we found that nymphs and adults were more likely to be found in the same areas of the sampling locations, but neither larvae and adults nor nymphs and larvae followed this relationship. Our findings demonstrate a strong seasonality of A. americanum in Missouri and support dry ice trapping as an effective sampling method for collecting all of its life stages.

ABSTRACT: Ants are immensely important predators in terrestrial ecosystems but surprisingly little is reported on their role in bee predation. Here, we describe the ant Pogonomyrmex subnitidus Emery, 1895 foraging at a bee nest aggregation in Utah. Many instances were observed of P. subnitidus, and another ant, Pheidole clydei Gregg, 1950, scavenging on the nests of the recently-described bee Anthophora pueblo Orr, 2016, which nests in sandstone. One worker ant of P. subnitidus was also observed taking a live bee larva back to its nest, indicating that the ants occasionally act as predators. The existence of nocturnal foraging in P. subntidus demonstrates greater temporal foraging plasticity than prior reports of bimodal foraging strategy during the day. Potential drivers of this behavior and the relation of these two new ant associates to the bees are discussed.
摘要：蚂蚁是陆地生态系统中极其重要的捕食者，但令人惊讶的是，关于它们在蜜蜂捕食中的作用的报道却很少。在这里，我们描述了蚂蚁Pogonomyrmex subnitidus Emery，1895年在犹他州的一个蜂巢聚集地觅食。在许多例子中，人们观察到了P.subnitidus和另一只蚂蚁Pheidole clydei Gregg（1950）在最近描述的蜜蜂Anthophora pueblo Orr（2016）的巢穴中觅食，该蜜蜂在砂岩中筑巢。还观察到一只亚种工蚁将一只活蜜蜂幼虫带回巢穴，这表明这些蚂蚁偶尔会充当捕食者。与先前关于白天双峰觅食策略的报道相比，亚斑蝶夜间觅食的存在表现出更大的时间觅食可塑性。讨论了这种行为的潜在驱动因素，以及这两种新的蚂蚁伙伴与蜜蜂的关系。

ABSTRACT: Scorpion venom is being used for many biomedical applications. In the present study, venom components of Hottentota tamulus (Fabricius, 1798) and Androctonus finitimus (Pocock, 1897) were characterized. Venom was extracted using the electrical stimulation method and subjected to High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for characterization of its components from which dominant fractions were collected and dried in a concentrator. Crude venom and selected fractions were further analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to obtain mass fingerprint data. Over 100 components ranging from 3,000 – 8,000 m/z in molecular masses were detected in the venom of both scorpion species. Some of them were analogous to a short chain and long chain toxins, which act on potassium and sodium ion channels, respectively. The venom components may be used for the development of novel drugs, e.g. drugs for neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, analgesics and cancer.

ABSTRACT: Coccinellids are common predators of aphids, including Aphis nerii, Diuraphis noxia and Lipaphis erysimi. The zigzag ladybird beetle, Menochilus sexmaculatus, is an effective predator against various aphid species. In the present study, different stages of M. sexmaculatus were evaluated for their functional response against A. nerii, D. noxia, and L. erysimi. Functional response at different densities of aphids was calculated over a period of 24h at 25 ± 5 °C and 65 ± 5% RH. Roger's Random Predator equation was used to calculate the parameters of a functional response. All the predatory stages showed Type II functional response. Attack rate was highest in the fourth instar for all aphid species (4.5171, 2.5894 and 2.8853, respectively), while the shortest handling time of the fourth instar was recorded for A. nerii (0.0175h) and L. erysimi (0.0159h). In the case of D. noxia, the shortest handling time was observed in the first instar (0.0175h). The fourth instar of M. sexmaculatus consumed more prey, followed by the third instar. These results indicate that the fourth instar of M. sexmaculatus was the most effective stage against its prey, followed by the third instar, adult females and males. Further field experiments must be carried out to corroborate the efficacy of these predatory beetles under natural conditions.

ABSTRACT: Seasonal nutritional content of honeybee pollen loads collected from five apiaries across the Al-Ahsa oasis, Saudi Arabia, was determined over a period of one year. Botanical composition of the pollen loads was dominated by rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), summer squash (Cucurbita pepo Thunb), date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). The highest amounts (g/colony) of pollen loads were collected during spring and winter, and the lowest during autumn, and there were seasonal variations in and among nutrient content. The highest values of fructose, crude protein, lipids, and ash content were recorded from pollen loads collected during spring and winter, and the highest values of glucose and moisture content were recorded from pollen loads collected in autumn; pollen loads collected during summer showed the highest values of total and available carbohydrate, and crude fiber content. The high content of fructose, crude protein, lipids, and ash in pollen loads collected during the spring and winter seasons indicate they represent a valuable food supplement.

ABSTRACT: Epeoloides pilosulus (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) is an exceptionally rare bee of conservation concern. Epeoloides are cleptoparasites of the oil-collecting bees Macropis (Hymenoptera: Melittidae), which specialize on oil-producing species in the genus Lysimachia (Ericales: Primulaceae). We report on the first records of E. pilosulus in Manitoba in 95-years, and only the fifth through eighth specimens for Canada since 1960. Manitoban records of Macropis are also provided.
