Bumblebees (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in the forest-tundra and tundra of Northeast Europe

Ways of formation of the topical bumblebee complexes are considered on the basis of long-term research carried out in 2002–2009, in different regions of the Nenets Autonomous Area. The specific features of species distribution are analyzed, and the role of anthropogenic changes in the plant communit...

Description
Summary:Ways of formation of the topical bumblebee complexes are considered on the basis of long-term research carried out in 2002–2009, in different regions of the Nenets Autonomous Area. The specific features of species distribution are analyzed, and the role of anthropogenic changes in the plant communities for the bumblebees is revealed. The complex of the dominant species in the forest-tundra and tundra zones of Northeast Europe is determined.
