BUMBLEBEE COMMUNITIES (HYMENOPTERA: APIDAE) IN NARYAN-MAR
According to the results of field work, which was conducted in 2016 in the city of Naryan-Mar (Nenets Autonomous District), it were studied the characteristics of the bumblebee communities in anthropogenic habitats of the study area. It was found 6 species of bumblebees, which is significantly lower than the total richness of the local fauna in the vicinity of Naryan-Mar (15 species). In the studied taxocenes is dominated by Bombus cryptarum, which has from 77 to 93 % of the total abundance. Tundra bumblebee species, as well as the southern element of the fauna were not found in the communities. Bumblebees foraged only on Trifolium repens. In the studied anthropogenic habitats Naryan-Mar, the bumblebee communities are characterized by the simplification of the structure. The destruction of natural habitats, together with the influence of the extreme climatic conditions of the Subarctic leads to the loss of the majority species of bumblebees from the taxocenes.
