In 2005, this species was reported from Nova Scotia, a rapid and wide increase in its distribution. In this paper, we document a similar rapid spread of A. manicatum into western North America, including British Columbia and Idaho, and discuss the potential risks of this species in eastern Canada. In addition, the potential of DNA barcoding as a rapid and reliable means of recognizing adventive bee species is advocated.1 aGibbs, Jason1 aSheffield, Cory, S.  uhttps://apoidea.myspecies.info/node/6300442nas a2200121   4500008004100000245011100041210006900152260001200221490000800233100001900241700001700260856004300277       2011                        eng d00aTaxonomic notes on the small resin bees Hypanthidioides subgenus Michanthidium (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae)0 aTaxonomic notes on the small resin bees Hypanthidioides subgenus  c07/20110 v1171 aGonzalez, V.H.1 aGriswold, T.  uhttps://apoidea.myspecies.info/node/1602689nas a2200205   4500008004100000245014400041210006900185260001200254520197100266653002202237653001702259653003402276653001602310100001802326700001502344700001902359700001602378700001702394856007202411       2011                        eng d00aGlobal invasion by Anthidium manicatum (Linnaeus) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae): assessing potential distribution in North America and beyond0 aGlobal invasion by Anthidium manicatum Linnaeus Hymenoptera Mega  c06/20113 a<p>The wool carder bee, Anthidium manicatum, is the most widely distributed unmanaged bee in the world. It was unintentionally introduced to North America in the late 1960s from Europe, and subsequently, into South America, New Zealand and the Canary Islands. We provide information on the local distribution, seasonal abundance and sex ratio of A. manicatum from samples collected in an intensive two-year survey across Utah, USA. Anthidium manicatum was detected in 10 of the 29 Utah counties, largely in urban and suburban settings. Combining presence-only and MaxEnt background data from literature, museum databases and new records from Utah, we constructed three species distribution models to examine the potential distribution of A. manicatum in its native Eurasian range as well as invaded ranges of North and South America. The A. manicatum model based on locality and background data from the species&rsquo; native range predicted 50% of the invasive records associated with high habitat suitability (HS &gt;= 0.90). The invasive North American model predicted a much broader distribution of A. manicatum (214% increase); whereas, the South American model predicted a narrower distribution (88% decrease). The poor predictive power of the latter model in estimating suitable habitats in the invasive South American range of A. manicatum suggests that the bee may still be limited by the bioclimatic constraints associated with a novel environment. Estimates of niche similarity (D) between the native and invasive models find that the North America bioclimatic niche is more similar to the bioclimatic niche of the native model (D = 0.78), whereas the bioclimatic niche of the South America invasion is relatively dissimilar (D = 0.69). We discuss the naturalization of A. manicatum in North America, possibly through punctuated dispersal, the probability of suitable habitats across the globe and the synanthropy exhibited by this invasive species.</p>
