除了花粉和花蜜,巨蜂亚科的蜜蜂与植物关系密切,是筑巢的材料来源。Megachilines使用树脂、咀嚼的叶子、毛状体和其他植物材料,有时还会与泥土一起在洞穴或土壤中筑巢。其中切叶蜂(Megachiles.l.)它们最著名的行为是用从各种植物上切下来的圆盘排列它们的孵化细胞。我们报道了一种新的非切叶巨藻的一个躯体化石和来自三个欧洲遗址--德国的埃克菲尔德和梅塞尔和法国的梅纳特(古新世)的12个叶切的化石记录。这些摘录包括目前最早的可能的巨蜂活动记录,并表明在古新世欧洲动物群中存在这种蜜蜂。与现存的叶切割进行比较,可以解释产生这些切除的最小数量的物种。剪叶的大小范围间接表明,除了这里描述的另一种巨型蜜蜂外,至少有两种巨型蜜蜂适合于梅塞尔的动物群。在埃克菲尔德的大多数叶子上都出现了几个插穗,这表明现存的巨基耳糖的优先觅食行为是在巨基线虫进化的早期。这些结果表明,对遗体化石和遗迹化石的联合调查在了解过去的生物多样性方面是相辅相成的,后者允许检测不是以其他方式直接采样的分类群,并对行为进化进行推断。
Aside from pollen and nectar, bees of the subfamily Megachilinae are closely associated with plants as a source of materials for nest construction. Megachilines use resins, masticated leaves, trichomes and other plant materials sometimes along with mud to construct nests in cavities or in soil. Among these, the leafcutter bees (Megachiles.l.) are the most famous for their behaviour to line their brood cells with discs cut from various plants. We report on fossil records of one body fossil of a new non-leafcutting megachiline and of 12 leafcuttings from three European sites—Eckfeld and Messel, both in Germany (Eocene), and Menat, France (Paleocene). The excisions include the currently earliest record of probableMegachileactivity and suggest the presence of such bees in the Paleocene European fauna. Comparison with extant leafcuttings permits the interpretation of a minimal number of species that produced these excisions. The wide range of size for the leafcuttings indirectly might suggest at least two species ofMegachilefor the fauna of Messel in addition to the other megachiline bee described here. The presence of several cuttings on most leaves from Eckfeld implies that the preferential foraging behaviour of extantMegachilearose early in megachiline evolution. These results demonstrate that combined investigation of body and trace fossils complement each other in understanding past biodiversity, the latter permitting the detection of taxa not otherwise directly sampled and inferences on behavioural evolution.
