Journal ArticleDOI
Unveiling cryptic species of the bumblebee subgenus Bombus s. str. worldwide with COI barcodes (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Paul H. Williams,Mark J. F. Brown,James C. Carolan,Jiandong An,Dave Goulson,A. Murat Aytekin,Lincoln R Best,Alexander M. Byvaltsev,Björn Cederberg,Robert Dawson,Jiaxing Huang,Masao Ito,Alireza Monfared,Rifat Raina,Paul Schmid-Hempel,Cory S. Sheffield,Peter Šima,Zenghua Xie +17 more
TL;DR: This is the first review of the entire subgenus Bombus to avoid fixed a priori assumptions concerning the limits of the problematic species and to diagnose all of the putative species throughout their global ranges and to map the extent of these geographic ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread polytypic species or complexes of local species? Revising bumblebees of the subgenus Melanobombus world-wide (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Bombus)
Paul H. Williams,Dorjsuren Altanchimeg,A.M. Byvaltsev,Roland De Jonghe,Saleem Jaffar,George Japoshvili,Sih Kahono,Huan Liang,Maurizio Mei,Alireza Monfared,Tshering Nidup,Rifat Raina,Zong-Xin Ren,Chawatat Thanoosing,Yan-Hui Zhao,Michael C. Orr +15 more
TL;DR: For the most widespread and variable species-complexes, the revised species improve the match to the patterns expected of species, both for genetic divergence-with-distance and for sympatry, leading to three main inferences.
Journal ArticleDOI
