Project Data

The reported massive decline of arthropods, and particularly of pollinators such as wild bees, in terms of abundance and richness, is a threat for crop production and wild plant biodiversity conservation. This decline is mainly explained by a combination of drivers at local- and landscape-scale related to intensive farming practices. Assessing the evolution of wild bee communities in agricultural ecosystems and their response to such practices is needed to address conservation purposes. We provide here data for the 24,329 wild bee specimens held in the collection of DYNAFOR Lab (UMR 1201 INRAE, INP-ENSAT, EI PURPAN), located at INP-ENSAT (Toulouse, France). All bee specimens were collected from the long term socio-ecological research site, ZA-PYGAR, located in South-West France, for more than 10 years (2010 to 2022) in the frame of different research programs conducted by the DYNAFOR Lab. At least 270 species, representative of the six wild bee families, were identified from this area. The identified specimens are considered reliable as identifications were performed or have been verified by community-recognized experts. In addition, ongoing DNA barcoding performed on certain specimens helped clarify questionable morphological characters and provided cross-validation of species identification.

Study Area Description The LTSER ZA PYGAR site took place in South Western of France in the foothills of the Pyrénées mountains. It is characterised by mixed crops and extensive livestock farming systems. These agronomic features and topographic constraints have designed highly heterogeneous landscapes where wooded elements (hedgerows, scattered trees, small forests) are embedded in a mosaic of annual crops and permanent or temporary meadows (Ouin et al. 2022). According to the scientific question investigated, sample sites were chosen along gradients of landscape heterogeneity (composition and configuration) and production system (conventional to organic farming).

Sampling Methods

Wild bees were sampled in various habitat types (cultivated and semi-natural, Figure 1) including field margins of crops and inner crops (12,701 individuals), small forests and their edges (7,856 individuals), hedgerows (119 individuals) and permanent grasslands (294 individuals). The precision of the GPS coordinates given in the dataset has been reduced to preserve the locality of vulnerable species. Depending on the project, two sampling methods were implemented : 1) insect net catching along transects for 3,888 individuals belonging to 183 species (described in Rivers-Moore et al. 2020), or 2) one to two sets of three to six coloured pan traps per sampling site (blue, yellow and white UV colour paint) (e.g. Rivers-Moore et al. 2023) for 20,441 individuals belonging to 203 species.

Study Extent The Apoidea specimens come from south-west France, in the LTSER Vallées et Coteaux de Gascogne embedded in the ZA Pygar. 22,505 specimens were collected in the French department Haute-Garonne and 1,824 in the department Gers. Data range: 2010-7-02 - 2022-4-12. Sampling is inconsistent over time, depending on the projects being carried each year and the protocols chosen. The number of sampling events varies from 10 to 452 between 2010 and 2022, with an average of 127 samplings per year over this period.
Quality Control Before 2015, depending on the project and on the people involved, the most obvious and common species were identified by Samantha Bailley, Romain Carrié, Clara Singh and Léa Frontero, all the others were sent to experts (see below), except for BioBio project for which all specimens were sent to David Genoud. After 2015, all sampled specimens were sorted out to order and family ranks and pinned, before being sent to national experts of Apoidea apiformes group : Rémi Rudelle, David Genoud, Eric Dufrêne, Alain Pauly and Pierre Rasmont. For four species complexes ( Bombus gr. Terrestris , Halictus gr. Simplex , Seladonia gr. Smaragdula and Hylaeus gr. brevicornis ), the taxonomy is not stabilized for the female individuals, and the current identification tools (dichotomous keys) do not allow for a clear separation of the species within these complexes. Taxonomists agree to use the name of the complex for specimen identification when it could be one of the following species: Bombus terrestris , Bombus lucorum , Bombus magnus , and Bombus cryptarum (4 species of the Bombus gr. terrestris ), Halictus simplex , Halictus eurygnathus , Halictus langobardicus , Halictus crenicornis , Halictus tridivisus , Halictus adjikenticus , Halictus carinthiacus , Halictus gruenwaldti , and Halictus pyrenaeus (9 species of the Halictus gr. simplex ), Seladonia smaragdula , Seladonia gemmella and Seladonia submediterranea (3 species of the Seladonia gr. Smaragdula , Pauly et al. 2015), or one of the 22 species from Hylaeus gr. Brevicornis (Dathe et al. 2022). In the present dataset, the specimens belonging to these groups have been identified either to the species level (when morphological characters allowed) or to its complex species group (for female individuals). Ongoing barcoding initiatives may help to clarify the reliable morphological characteristics for identifying species within these complexes. Recently, a fraction of the specimens contained in the collection (534 specimens) and covering 60% of wild bee diversity sampled in ZA-PYGAR has been used to generate DNA barcoding reference sequences, allowing a cross-validation of the specimen identification. For each specimen chosen, one front leg was sampled and used for further molecular processes involving DNA extraction, marker amplification and sequencing (articles in prep., Hebert et al 2003, Folmer et al 1994, Clarke et al 2014). Because of the existence of groups of species particularly recalcitrant to sequencing of the standard CO1 marker, two complementary markers were targeted: CO1 and 16S (Sheffield et al 2017, Villalta et al 2021). A total of 110 and 347 specimens were sampled to provide CO1 marker barcodes and 16S marker barcodes, respectively, while 76 specimens were used to generate reference barcodes for both markers. DNA barcoding results are currently being analysed and discussed with experts. In case of incongruence between morphological and molecular identifications, the specimens are subjected to re-observation of morphological characters. This process is under progress.
