Selected WILD BEES

DNA barcoding of selected wild bees

Anthidium florentinum Weibchen

With 690 known species Austria is one of the biodiversity hotspots for wild bees in Central Europe. Many species are particularly worhty of protection due to restricted distribution or narrow food spectrum. Recording of the genetic diversity of Austrian wild bees represents an important basis for future nature conservation efforts and additionally stimulates research. The selection of species for barcoding is carried out in cooperation with a second wild bees-project located at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna.
