Floral visitors and their behavior to sympatric Salvia species (Lamiaceae) in Mexico
A field survey in southwestern México was undertaken to lócate and identify sympatrically flowering populations of Salvia and to characterize their visiting bee faunas. Twenty nine species of Salvia were observed and 33 species of bees collected. The most common bee visitors were Bombus species comp...

description | A field survey in southwestern México was undertaken to lócate and identify sympatrically flowering populations of Salvia and to characterize their visiting bee faunas. Twenty nine species of Salvia were observed and 33 species of bees collected. The most common bee visitors were Bombus species comprising 66% of the bee species collected. Of the 36 localities visited, 42% had sympatric, concurrently flowering Salvia species. As many as five flowering Salvia species may co-occur and share pollinating visits from the same bee species. Potential interactions between Salvia species and their pollinating beesare discussed. |

Tenorio Lezama, Pedro A field survey in southwestern México was undertaken to lócate and identify sympatrically flowering populations of Salvia and to characterize their visiting bee faunas. Twenty nine species of Salvia were observed and 33 species of bees collected. The most common bee visitors were Bombus species comprising 66% of the bee species collected. Of the 36 localities visited, 42% had sympatric, concurrently flowering Salvia species. As many as five flowering Salvia species may co-occur and share pollinating visits from the same bee species. Potential interactions between Salvia species and their pollinating beesare discussed. Se realizó un estudio de campo en el suroeste de México con el fin de localizar e identificar poblaciones simpátricas de Salvia en floración, y caracterizar a sus abejas visitantes. Se observaron 29especies de Salvia y se colectaron 33 taxa de abejas. Las abejas visitantes más comunes fueron especies del género Bombus, comprendiendo 66% de los taxa de abejas colectados. De las 36 localidades visitadas, 42% contenían especies simpátricas de Salvia floreciendo al mismo tiempo. Se encontraron coexistiendo hasta 5 especies de Salvia y en algunas ocasiones recibiendo visitas de abejas polinizadoras pertenecientes a los mismos taxa. Se discuten las interacciones potenciales entre las especies de Salvia y sus abejas polinizadoras.
