在过去的150年里，非本土物种的入侵在西南太平洋地区非常普遍。异丙胺蜜蜂，Braunsapis puangensis（木蝇科：异丙胺蜜蜂），在1965年至2003年间被引入斐济，最有可能来自印度。直到最近，人们对它的扩散能力和随后在斐济的地理分布知之甚少。我们的研究大大增加了b的地理记录。puangensis横跨斐济最大的岛屿Viti Levu，以及周围的岛屿，包括Vanua Levu， Taveuni和Mana岛。我们发现b。在维提岛的所有主要地区都有这种病，而且它似乎非常脆弱。在斐济，我们只找到了b。扁鹅以引进植物为食，但在本地和引进植物中都筑巢。增加这种蜜蜂对杂草外来植物的授粉可以增加它们在斐济的丰度。人口富含。bpuangensisin斐济需要密切监测，以发现环境影响，包括入侵杂草物种的传播和对生态系统相互作用的连锁效应。
During the last 150 years, incursions of non‐native species have been prevalent throughout the South West Pacific. The allodapine bee,Braunsapis puangensis(Cockerell) (Xylocopinae: Allodapini), was introduced to Fiji between 1965 and 2003, most likely from India. Until very recently, little was known about its dispersal ability and subsequent geographical spread across Fiji. Our study greatly increases the geographical records ofB. puangensisacross Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island, as well as surrounding islands including Vanua Levu, Taveuni and Mana Island. We found thatB. puangensisis present throughout all major regions of Viti Levu, and it appears to be highly vagile. In Fiji, we only foundB. puangensisforaging on introduced plant species, but nesting in both native and introduced plant species. Increased pollination of weedy exotic plants by this bee could increase their abundance in Fiji. Populations ofB. puangensisin Fiji require close monitoring to detect environmental effects including spread of invasive weed species and knock‐on effects to ecosystem interactions.
