9302186 Michener This project will finish a comprehensive book length work on the phylogeny and systematics of bees of the world, with supplementary information on nesting and mating behavior, flower preferences and the like. Using parsimony programs, the phylogeny of higher taxa (tribes to families) will be investigated and presented. Keys for identification to the level of subgenus will be produced. This work will be a contribution to the knowledge of bee evolution and systematics. In addition, because bees are essential pollinators of many plants and honey bees often are poor pollinators, studies of all bees need to be facilitated for agricultural and conservation purposes. This work will make possible bee identification (to the subgenus level) by ecologists, botanists, and those concerned with biodiversity (that may be limited by loss of pollinators) and will make possible improved understanding of bees as a group. Moreover, the study of bees has had a major impact on the conceptual bases of various evolutionarily important phenomena (e.g. altruism and sociality). A comprehensive phylogenetic and systematic treatment will provide a framework on which to evaluate such matters, both past work and future studies. %%% Because bees are essential pollinators of many plants and honey bees often are poor pollinators for some plants, studies of all bees need to be facilitated for agricultural and conservation purposes.

9302186 Michener这个项目将完成一本关于世界蜜蜂系统发育和系统学的全面书籍长度的工作，并补充关于筑巢和交配行为、花卉偏好等方面的信息。利用简约计划，将调查和介绍高等分类群(部族到科)的系统发育。将产生亚属级别的识别检索表。这项工作将是对蜜蜂进化和系统学知识的贡献。此外，由于蜜蜂是许多植物的基本传粉者，而蜜蜂往往是糟糕的传粉者，出于农业和保护目的，需要促进对所有蜜蜂的研究。这项工作将使生态学家、植物学家和那些关注生物多样性(可能受到传粉者损失的限制)的人能够识别蜜蜂(亚属水平)，并可能改善对蜜蜂作为一个群体的理解。此外，对蜜蜂的研究对各种进化上重要现象(如利他主义和社会性)的概念基础产生了重大影响。全面的系统发展和系统处理将为评估此类问题提供一个框架，既包括过去的工作，也包括未来的研究。%由于蜜蜂是许多植物必不可少的传粉者，而蜜蜂往往不是某些植物的传粉者，出于农业和保护的目的，需要促进对所有蜜蜂的研究。这项工作将使生态学家、植物学家和那些关注生物多样性(可能受到传粉者损失的限制)的人能够识别蜜蜂，并可能改善对蜜蜂作为一个群体的理解。***
