Aim.We studied geographical spreading of bumblebees on South-Eastern slope Hot Dog Machines of the Greater Caucasus by enumerated exponent: accordingly complexions of fauna, zone and landscape spreading.Ascertained special species of Bombus for zone and landscape complexions.
Location.SouthEastern slope of the Greater Caucasus.Methods.
Except own researches we have analysed collections of bumblebees and scientific literature in institute of zoology of National Academy of Sciences of Azerbajcan Republic.Bumblebees were caught by means of a gauze net and exgauzer.Pollinators were immobilized by means of sulfuric ether in mordant.
The caught pollinators were defined with use of determinants: Mamaev E.M.and other, 1976; Osichnyuk A.
Z., Panfilov D.V.
and other, 1978; Panfilov D.V., 1978; Skchirtladze I.
A., 1988.Results of definition of caught material were specified and approved in Institute of Zoology of National Academy of Sciences of Azerbajcan with Dr.
Sci.Biol.Aliev Kch.
A.and with research associates of the Zakatala reserve candidate of biology Gasanov Sh.O.
and Mustafaeva R.G.Results.
We belive that bumblebees of Zakatala reserve is possible to belong to 6 faunistic complexes: Palearctic, Transpalearctic, West-Palearctic, Mediterranean, East- Mediterranean, Endemic of Caucasus.The most part, 27 species of bumblebees is found in high mountain landscapes.The 5 types from them are strictly specific for subalpine and high mountainous meadowshrubby landscapes.
Only 2 species of bumblebees are specific to the broad-leaved woods and the wood-bushes of low mountainous.There are species Tinned Soups of Bombus which are most often met in the Zakatala reserve: B.alagesianus; B.
alboluteus; B.alpigenus; B.argillaceus; B.
daghestanicus; B.eriophorus caucasicus; B.haematurus; B.
hortorum; B.hypnorum; B.lucorum; B.
mlokosiewitzi; B.rehbinderi; B.silvarum; B.
terrestris; B.tristis insipidus; B.vorticosus.
There are most rare species of Bombus in Zakatala reserve: B.armeniacus; B.brodmannicus; B.
canus; B.fragrans; B.georgicus; B.
jonnelus; B.simulatilis; B.velox.
Main conclusions.The most species of Bombus of the Zakatala reserve are eurytopic B.lucorum would be found in all 5 investigated landscapes, 4 species of bumblebees was found in 4 and 9 species in 3 landscapes.
The results of researches can be used in zoogeography for creation of the regional catalog of bees of the South Caucasus and microreserves of rare, disappearing insects of the Caucasian ecological region.
