Bombus dahlbomii : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bombus dahlbomii
''Bombus dahlbomii'' is a species of bumblebee endemic to southern South American temperate forests. ''B. dahlbomii'' is one of the largest bee species in the world, with matured queens growing up to 40 mm long.〔King, A. (September 14, 2012) (Plight of the Bumblebee. ) ''ScienceNow''.〕 Because of its size and furry appearance, the species has been described as "flying mice" and "a monstrous fluffy ginger beast". ''B. dahlbomii'' is the only bumblebee species native to southern South America (Patagonia, Southern Chile, Southern Argentina).〔 The decline of its populations started with the introduction of ''Bombus terrestris'' and ''Bombus ruderatus'' into Chile to serve as commercial pollinators.〔 ''B. dahlbomii'' population decline can also be attributed to the pathogen spillover of the parasitic protozoan ''Apicystis bombi'', which was co-introduced with ''B. terrestris''. ''B. dahlbomii'' is an important insect in local ecosystems, such as the Maulino forest of central Chile. There, it is a major pollinator of native plants such as ''Lapageria rosea'' and ''Alstroemeria aurea'', both of which serve important commercial purposes.〔Morales, C. L., et al. (2004). ("Potential displacement of the native bumblebee ''Bombus dahlbomii'' by the invasive ''Bombus ruderatus'' in NW Patagonia, Argentina" ), pp. 70-76 in Proceedings of the 8th IBRA International Conference on Tropical Bees and VI Encontro sobre Abelhas, Ribeirão Preto, Brasil, September 6–10, 2004.〕 ==Taxonomy and Phylogeny== ''B. dahlbomii'' is classified under the kingdom Animalia, the subkingdom Bilateral, the phylum Arthropoda, the subphylum Hexapoda, the class Insecta, the order Hymenoptera, the suborder Apocrita, the superfamily Apoidea, the family Apidae, the subfamily Apinae, the tribe Bombini, and the genus ''Bombus''. As a member of the order Hymenoptera, ''B. dahlbomii'' is related to other ants, bees, and wasps. Its family, Apidae, consists of honey bees, stingless bees, carpenter bees, bumblebees, orchid bees, and cuckoo bees. The tribe Bombini includes bristly bees that feed on nectar or pollen, and the genus ''Bombus'' is specific to bumblebees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=714893 )〕
