中文摘要:

在生态系统中，拟态作为一种生态进化现象，是自然选择压力下生物适应环境的结果，对于理解生物多样性和生态系统功能具有重要意义。模拟蜜蜂现象是一种普遍的生物现象，多集中于对有螫针的蜜蜂、熊蜂等模型的模拟。无刺蜂是热带和亚热带生态系统中的关键授粉昆虫，虽然无刺蜂的螫针退化，但其形态和行为上仍被其他昆虫模仿。本文分析了拟态的类型、模态，并探讨了昆虫拟态的多样性及其生态适应意义，综述了无刺蜂作为其他昆虫所拟态的一类的重要模型，其拟态现象在热带地区的普遍性和重要性。研究还发现，对无刺蜂的拟态现象不仅涉及视觉拟态，甚至还包括对无刺蜂的声音和飞行轨迹行为模拟。本研究为理解拟态的起源与发展提供了新的视角，强调了对无刺蜂拟态现象进行深入研究的必要性，以揭示其在生态系统中拟态现象的复杂作用和潜在的保护价值。

英文摘要:

In diverse ecosystems, mimicry, as an ecological and evolutionary phenomenon, emerges as a result of organisms adapting to their environment under selective pressures and plays a crucial role in understanding biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Bee mimicry is a widespread strategy in nature, where other organisms take advantage of mimicking honeybees and bumblebees, which possess powerful stingers as a defense mechanism. Stingless bees are key pollinators in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. Despite their reduced or absent stingers, they are still mimicked by other insects in both morphology and behavior. This study reviewed the types and modalities of mimicry and discussed the diversity of insect mimicry and its ecological adaptive significance. We particularly reviewed the universality and importance of stingless bees as important models in insect mimicry in tropical regions. Studies have also found that the mimicry phenomenon of stingless bees involves not only visual modality but also other different modalities such as acoustic modality, and even behavioral mimicry like their flight trajectories. These findings provide new perspectives for understanding the origin and development of mimicry, emphasizing the necessity for in-depth research on the mimicry phenomenon of stingless bees to reveal their complex roles in ecosystems and potential conservation value.
