Interação entre abelhas e flora em remanescentes de cerrado nos municípios de Campo Mourão e Tuneiras do Oeste - Paraná

Abstract

Pollination is an event of great importance for the reproduction of many species of plants. Among the pollinators, the bees have great prominence because they constitute one of the most diverse groups of Hymenoptera order, besides, they raise the productivity of local pollinated. The Cerrado is one of the biomes which bees form the main ecological groups of pollination that can be explained partly by the fact that this biome present flowering throughout the year. Considering the importance of pollination by bees and how they represent in Cerrado’s vegetation, this work aims to contribute to the knowledge on this subject in two remnants of Cerrado in the cities of Campo Mourao and Tuneiras do Oeste. To realize, were held during the months of August to December 2015, collected using two methods: entomological network and trap dishes (Pantraps) in order to verify the diversity of these and their interaction with the local flora. It was accounted a total of 302 bees with wealth of 75 species using Entomological Network and 27 species using Pantraps. The Apidae family was the one that stood out in the study and some species such as Ceratina (Crewella) sp. 4, Exomalopsis ( Exomalopsis ) auropilosa and Trigona spinipes also stood out for their abundance . In the method of Pantraps the blue color plate retained the greater amount of bees. About the collected plants, only five species were common in both location and only two with large numbers of individuals. The two places showed little similarity to the species of plants and bees.
