Urban areas represent a spatially small impact in relation to other land-uses such as livestock and agriculture, but they undergo rapid changes. Such changes involve their size, shape, interconnectivity, and composition of natural patches. Habitat loss generated by urbanization affects the diversity and abundance of bees and other flower visitors in many sites. In general, the presence of urban areas represents a strict boundary to flower visitors and restricts their movement between natural and suburban habitat patches. The aim of this work is to evaluate how the flower visitor assemblage change along an urban-natural gradient in northwest Argentina. We established five areas in the Yungas ecoregion and sampled three sites with different degrees of urbanization (urban, suburban, and natural), at each area, reaching 15 sites. At each site, we sampled flower visitors during 5-min observation periods done over flowering plants. We found 197 morphospecies of flower-visiting insects along the gradient and an invariant richness, abundance, and Shannon diversity. The assemblage presented the same taxonomic group distributions in the three categories established. However, in urban sites, solitary bees and bees with soil borrowing nesting type predominate, while eusocial and cavity nesting bees were the main flower visitors in suburban sites. Our results suggest that the cities of northwestern Argentina are not a strict boundary for flower visitors; however, urbanization seems to be selecting and favoring certain flower-visitor species traits.

城市化影响的是阿根廷云加斯花客的组成,但并不影响其丰富程度。

与牲畜和农业等其他土地用途相比,城市地区在空间上的影响较小,但它们正在发生快速变化。这些变化涉及它们的大小,形状,互连性和天然补丁的组成。城市化造成的栖息地流失会影响许多地点​​的蜜蜂和其他花卉游客的多样性和丰富性。一般而言,市区的存在代表了鲜花访客的严格边界,并限制了他们在自然栖息地和郊区栖息地之间的移动。这项工作的目的是评估阿根廷西北部的花卉访客组合如何沿城市-自然梯度变化。我们在云加斯生态区建立了五个地区,并在三个地区(城市,郊区和自然地区)采样了三个城市化程度不同的地点,共有15个地点。在每个站点,我们在5分钟的观察期内对开花植物进行了取样,以对访客进行采样。我们沿着梯度发现了197种访花昆虫的形态种类,其丰富度,丰度和香农多样性不变。该组合在已建立的三个类别中显示了相同的分类组分布。然而,在城市地区,独居的蜜蜂和具有土壤借入嵌套类型的蜜蜂占主导地位,而社交和空巢的蜜蜂是郊区场所的主要花卉游客。我们的结果表明,阿根廷西北部的城市对鲜花游客并不是严格的界限;然而,城市化似乎正在选择并偏爱某些花生种的性状。我们沿着梯度发现了197种访花昆虫的形态种类,其丰富度,丰度和香农多样性不变。该组合在已建立的三个类别中显示了相同的分类组分布。然而,在城市地区,独居的蜜蜂和土壤借巢类型的蜜蜂占主导地位,而生态和巢穴蜜蜂是郊区场所的主要花卉游客。我们的结果表明,阿根廷西北部的城市对鲜花游客并非严格限制;然而,城市化似乎正在选择并偏爱某些花生种的性状。我们沿着梯度发现了197种访花昆虫的形态种类,其丰富度,丰度和香农多样性不变。该组合在已建立的三个类别中显示了相同的分类组分布。然而,在城市地区,独居的蜜蜂和土壤借巢类型的蜜蜂占主导地位,而生态和巢穴蜜蜂是郊区场所的主要花卉游客。我们的结果表明,阿根廷西北部的城市对鲜花游客并不是严格的界限;然而,城市化似乎正在选择并偏爱某些花生种的性状。独居的蜜蜂和土层筑巢类型的蜜蜂占主导地位,而生态和巢穴蜜蜂是郊区的主要花卉游客。我们的结果表明,阿根廷西北部的城市对鲜花游客并不是严格的界限;然而,城市化似乎正在选择并偏爱某些花生种的性状。独居的蜜蜂和土层筑巢类型的蜜蜂占主导地位,而生态和巢穴蜜蜂是郊区的主要花卉游客。我们的结果表明,阿根廷西北部的城市对鲜花游客并不是严格的界限;然而,城市化似乎正在选择并偏爱某些花生种的性状。
