Abstract
Se analiza desde una perspectiva ecogeográfica el riesgo de predación del abejaruco
(Merops apiaster) sobre la abeja melífera (Apis mellifera), para evaluar la percepción de su
impacto sobre los colmenares por el sector apícola de la Región de Murcia. Para ello, se
realizaron encuestas a apicultores y se elaboró una cartografía regional de idoneidad de hábitat
a partir de modelos de distribución de nicho ecológico (ENFA), teniendo en cuenta registros
de presencia obtenidos en el campo. Los resultados son compatibles con la proximidad entre
colmenas y aves, lo que explica la percepción de un alto riesgo de predación. Se proponen
estrategias para mitigar el posible impacto de la predación a través de la relocalización de
colmenares en los hábitats y paisajes que los acogen.
This paper analyzes, from an ecogeographical perspective, the risk of predation by the Bee-eater (Merops apiaster) on the honeybee (Apis mellifera), in order to assess the perception of its impact on the apiaries of the Region of Murcia. To this end, an inquiry to bee-keepers has been made, and a regional cartography of habitat suitability has been developed on the basis of Ecological Niche Factor Analysis (ENFA) distribution models, taking into account field records of presence. Results are consistent with the proximity between beehives and birds, explaining the perception of a high risk of predation. Strategies are proposed to mitigate the potential impact of bird predation, through the relocation of apiaries in the habitats and landscapes occupied by them.
