Abstract

Bombus terrestris (L. 1758), bombus arılarının Palearktik bölgede en çok yayılış gösteren türüdür. Bombus (s.str.) altcinsi içerisinde sınıflandırılan bu tür, kısa dilli bombus arılarından olup besin tercihleri de görece sığ korollalı bitkilerdir. Bombus terrestris yüksek polilektik bir tür olarak kategorize edilmektedir. Bugüne kadar yapılan sistematik çalışmalarında çok sayıda farklı bitki üzerinden toplandığına dair kayıtlar mevcuttur. Ancak Türkiye’de yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde, türün besin tercihleri hakkında görece az veri bulunduğu görülmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında Hacettepe Üniversitesi Beytepe Yerleşkesi içerisinde tespit edilen Bombus terrestris türüne ait yuva entomopalinolojik olarak incelenmiştir. Bitki-polinatör ilişki ağının ortaya konabilmesi adına arıların yuvalarında depoladıkları polenler incelenmiştir. Arı aktivitesinin bitimine yakın zamanda- geç sonbaharda gerçekleştirilen kazı işlemi sonrası, yuva materyali laboratuvara getirilerek +4 ºC’de saklanmıştır. Sezon boyunca besin olarak kullanılan bitkilerin tespiti için yuva materyalinden Wodehouse yöntemi ile preparatlar hazırlanarak incelemeler yapılmıştır. Işık mikroskobu ile yapılan incelemelerde Diplotaxis spp., Brassicaceae, Carduus spp. , Centaurea spp.,Cichorium spp., Eryngium spp., Isatis spp. , Linaria spp., Lotus spp Onobrychis spp., Plantago spp. ve Trifolium spp. taksonlarına ait polenler tespit edilmiştir. Tozlaştırıcı canlıların biyolojilerinin ve besin tercihlerinin bilinmesi, bizlere hem ekosistem çeşitliliğinin korunmasında hem de tarım faaliyetlerinde yardımcı olacaktır. Bu kapsamda polinatör böceklerin beslenme davranışlara ilişkin daha ayrıntılı çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.

Abstract

Bombus terrestris (L. 1758) is the most common bumblebee species in the Palearctic region. This taxon is classified in the subgenus Bombus (s.str.). This species is from short-tongued bumblebees and their food preferences are relatively shallow corolla plants. It is categorized as a highly polylectic species collected from hundreds of different plants. However, there is relatively little data about Turkey.Within the scope of the study, the nest of Bombus terrestris species detected in Hacettepe University Beytepe Campus was examined entomopalynologically. In order to reveal the plant-pollinator relationship network, the nest material was brought to the laboratory after the excavation was carried out close to the end of the bee activity and stored at +4 ºC. Preparations were prepared using Wodehouse method from the nest material to determine the plants used as protein source during the season and investigations were made. Diplotaxis spp., Brassicaceae, Carduus spp. , Centaurea spp., Cichorium spp., Eryngium spp., Isatis spp. , Linaria spp., Lotus spp. Onobrychis spp., Plantago spp. and Trifolium spp. pollens belonging to taxa were detected. Knowing the biology and food preferences of pollinator insects will help us both in the protection of ecosystem diversity and in agricultural activities. In this context, it is recommended to conduct more detailed studies on the foraging plants of insects.
