Goal and objectives of the project | In the first phase, the project has the following objectives:
|
Main results | - A total of 148 species of aculate hymenoptera belonging to four families Chrysididae, Apidae, Megachilidae and Vespidae was recorded in three provinces (Cao Bang, Lang Son and Tuyen Quang) in the Northeastern part of Vietnam. Of them, 31 species and 6 genera were in family Chrysididae, 29 species and 10 genera were in Apidae, 11 species and 4 genera were in Megachilidae, and 77 species and 30 genera were in Vespidae. The highest number of species recorded in Lang Son (71 species), followed by Cao Bang (62 species) and Tuyen Quang (59 species), of which 39 species have been recorded only in Lang Son, 37 species only recorded in Cao Bang and 32 species only recorded in Tuyen Quang. This shows the peculiarity of the distribution of aculate hymenoptera of the four families in the study sites.
|
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results | - Three species were described as new to science. Two genus and 16 species were newly recorded for Vietnamese fauna.
|
Products of the project | - Publications: 03 papers (in SCI-E journal list).
|
Research region | The results of the study will be used by the authorities of the three northeastern provinces such as Forest Protection Department, Phia Oac National Park, Cham Chu Nature Reserve, Huu Lien Nature Reserve, which is a scientific basis for these agencies to use for building plans on conservation, promotion and rational use of biological resources in service of local socio-economic development. |
Recommendations | The composition of aculeate Hymenoptera in Vietnam is very diverse and rich, but taxonomic research has received little attention, so it is recommended to continue research on taxonomy and distribution of the groups of bees and wasps in other regions of our country in order to have an overview of their diversity and distribution in Vietnam, to build a complete database for conservation research and use them in the future. |
