Devin: What is your superpower?Andrena: I’d say compassion. You know, I’d say compassion. I think it’s lacking in the world. And I know it sounds so airy and flighty and idealistic, but I think compassion is my superpower.“When [my parents] said, ‘Pack a bag, we’re going to America,’ I didn’t know what that meant,” says Andrena Sawyer about her experience fleeing civil war in Sierra Leone as a nine-year-old. “I remember hearing gunshots closer toward our move and not really knowing, but realizing there were more soldiers in our community.”“One of my classmates had died, had been hit by a stray bullet,” she says. “But at nine, you know, you don’t process the weight of those things. You don’t connect the dots.”When she came to the U.S., she didn’t understand whether it was for a visit or a permanent relocation. After she hadn’t seen cousins, aunts or other relatives in years, about age 12 or 13, she realized the move was permanent.Around the same time, she realized she was lucky. “Well, what do I do with this luck?” she asked herself. “I begin to try to make an impact. I don’t know if it’s the guilt of, you know, survivor’s guilt, but I want to make an impact because I was one of the fortunate ones.”She launched a nonprofit movement in her high school called Triple-T MAD for Teens Trying To Make A Difference.“I just rallied my friends. It started off with some friends of mine from church. I was bored, and we would go out in the community once a month to help. So we did AIDS Walk, March of Dimes, soup kitchen, a lot of volunteerism, and it landed.”For two years, she led the group, doing a service project every month.“That laid the foundation for the rest of the work I’m doing now,” Andrena says. “It’s framed my professional work.”Today in Baltimore, Andrena leads P.E.R.K. Consulting, advising nonprofits and small businesses.Our focus is nonprofit development. I started it about 11 years ago because I really had a passion and an interest in helping nonprofits, especially the little guys, become more sustainable. A lot of times we see that those that are doing the grassroots work in our community don't have a long shelf life. They run into cashflow issues, capacity issues, strategic planning issues, and I wanted to see how I could help that.Andrena loves acronyms. P.E.R.K stands for passion, experience, relevance and knowledge. She teaches these principles and helps her clients institutionalize and systematize them.“If you take a look at our logo, it’s a tree growing out of a concrete road because we take our interest in helping nonprofits grow despite whatever their initial foundation was,” Andrena says. “Those four things are the ways that we make sure that we do that.”“The root of nine out of ten problems that we encounter with our clients is just the lack of good infrastructure that lends to sustainability,” she adds.By way of example, she helps nonprofit clients build more diverse revenue streams, not “putting all [their] eggs in the grant bucket.” She says, “Sometimes that looks like additional streams, like special events, merchandise, things like that.”What underlies all of Andrena’s work and success is her compassion, a superpower she deploys to serve others effectively.Don’t miss an episode. Subscribe!How to Develop Compassion As a SuperpowerAndrena exudes compassion. She works to incorporate it into her clients’ strategies as well. She’ll ask clients, “What is all your profit doing for the community? What are you doing for others who want to get to where you are?”She adds, “I think humanity needs it, and I try to be as intentional about it as possible.”For Andrena, there is a clear connection between her compassion and escaping civil war. We never know what people are going through. We don't know the circumstances that they're facing at home. When I came to America, my family was facing immense poverty because we were starting all over again. So, as an individual now making philanthropy and compassion a core value of mine, it's because of those things that I went through escaping civil war.When Andrena launched her business, she created a scholarship fund to help students in situations similar to what she’d been through as an immigrant.When I went to college, I was a first-generation college graduate and I faced a lot of hardship because I was not a US citizen, so I wasn't eligible for FAFSA and Federal Aid and things like that. So, despite being a really hard-working student, it was a struggle just even trying to get through college. When I started P.E.R.K., I said that was one of the things we would be intentional about is just a portion of our revenue is going to go to a local student who is an international student but who is extremely hardworking. The next gen scholarship program was $1,000 that we gave to an international student who had, I think it was a 3.5 GPA or higher when we started. I was very proud of that. To some people, when we said $1,000, some people kind of thought, you know, what is $1,000 going to do? But then I remember when I was a student, $1,000 meant the world—it meant books. It might have meant meal plan. I was extremely proud of that. Extremely proud of that.Learning to strengthen compassion can be difficult. “When we get into business, I think we’re trained to look at profit, profit, profit, profit,” she cautions. “So we just become outcome-driven, just bottom-line driven.”Andrena has some guidance for strengthening your compassion.First, she says, “Get out of your own bubble just long enough to see the reality of others.”To the person who wants to train that muscle a little bit more, I would say expand your horizons and take a look at the reality of what other people are going through. And a lot of times we don't have to look far. When we intentionally engage in conversations, authentic conversations with people and we take a genuine interest in how their life is going, a team member or volunteer someone that you might engage on a regular basis in the worship space or whatever—in class. When we ask people [for their] stories, we begin to see that the world is a little bit bigger than us.If you want to take it up even a notch higher, I would say go outside of the country, go outside of your city and engage with people because we're very fortunate and we're very wealthy in this country, in America especially.I live in Baltimore City. Baltimore City is notorious because of the disenfranchisement of the people. So you can be on one street in Baltimore City and there are well-maintained buildings, nice looking lawns, and you walk two blocks down and you're seeing torn down buildings, drug addicts. But what happens is when we stay just in our part of the block, we forget that there are other areas in our city and in our lives where people need help. So, if you are serious about about, again, training that compassion muscle, I would say get out of the bubble long enough to engage with others, watch a TV show that's about people from developing countries and just see where you can help and where you're needed.If you follow Andrena’s example and her advice, you can strengthen your compassion muscle until it becomes your superpower, enabling you to do more good in the world.

How to Mobilize and Empower Others Andrena Sawyer pt 2 Andrena Sawyer is an author, business strategist, and diversity advocate whose background includes surviving the civil war in Sierra Leone. Her authenticity and battle-tested principles inspire audiences to embrace their past, own their present and maximize their future. Originally from Freetown, Sierra Leone, she and her family moved to the United States when she was nine years old due to a civil war that left thousands dead and untold numbers maimed and displaced. She now credits her family's move during the war for her interest in human triumph and perseverance. She has since actively worked to mobilize and empower others. At age 15, she founded Triple “T” MAD (Teens Trying to Make a Difference), a community service organization for teens in central New Jersey. As a student at Howard University, she continued to cultivate her interest in community development by founding Rock, the MIC—an annual outreach for youth in the DC area. These experiences laid a firm foundation that continues to define her work. She is the President of https://www.andrenasawyer.com/about-3-1 (P.E.R.K. Consulting), an advisory firm for small to mid-sized nonprofits and businesses, and the Founder of https://www.andrenasawyer.com/about-3 (MCWEN)—a faith-based network for women of color entrepreneurs. Through her work, she has helped hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals move from ideas to purpose-driven work. She is also the author of several book, including https://amzn.to/3OxGrN8 (“The Misadventures of a New Entrepreneur: 5 Things They Won't Teach You in Business School.”) Tell us about MCWEN? How are “Faith and Purpose” connected? You mentioned P.E.R.K. What is that and how does it help other entrepreneurs? I'm intrigued by your book title, https://amzn.to/3OxGrN8 (“The Misadventures Of A New Entrepreneur: 5 Things They Won't Teach You in Business School.”) Can you share a bit about your book with us? Your book, is at available on Amazon? Andrena, this has been so interesting. If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? Folks, I can't emphasize enough how important it is for you to “be your own boss.” Even if you are working for another company, or even if you are a Federal employee and think you have a guaranteed job. All it takes is for someone higher up to say, “We are reshaping the company,” or “Your job has been eliminated.” Then, you're job is gone. I know, I've had that happen to me. It's not a good position to be in. But, with Andrena's help, you could start your side job and have that soon become you main job. Then, you are the one who's in charge. If you start now, you could be in a position where you may just decide to quit or retire early from your “regular job.” How awesome would that be? But you won't know how to do it or how to go about doing it, if you do not get in touch with Andrena Sawyer right now.

In this episode, I interview Andrena Sawyer, the President of P.E.R.K Consulting, an advisory firm based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, for small to mid-sized nonprofits and businesses. Services include registration, staff & volunteer training, strategic planning, expert speakers, proposal writing, and more. Andrena is an author, consultant, strategist, and ministry founder. As things ended up not working for Andrena, she reverted back to what always worked for her, which was helping other people in the nonprofit space. She realized that nonprofits don't have a long shelf life so she maximized her talents to set up a consultancy to help them. It was 2011, aged 25 when she started with the consulting firm, she saw an immediate increase in revenue from its 1st year to its 3rd year. Grew capacity from solopreneur, now having a total of 8 team members. Andrena says that what she loves the most in growing a small business is seeing the immediate impact of the idea she implemented. She said, “I love that I can stay up all night and work on my business idea and implement it. The results are a reflection of that effort.” This Cast Covers: Working with nonprofits and small businesses providing business development and capacity-building support. Helping nonprofits and small businesses with registration, staff & volunteer training, strategic planning, expert speakers, proposal writing, and more. Maximizing her talents to set up a consultancy that can help nonprofits have a long shelf life. Expanded capacity for over 11 years from solopreneur, now having a team of 8 people. From year one to year three of starting the business saw an increase in revenue of about 125%. Has experienced massive change during Covid from declining sales and clients had to close their businesses. Pivoting services into virtual and now slowly bringing back the upswings of the consulting firm. Learning how flexibility in reaching out to people contributes to the growth and success of an organization. Offering workshops for entrepreneurs or solopreneurs who are planning to start a business to help them learn how to manage their future business. Recommending new business owners to work on resiliency as a skill, like being able to push through and not taking no as a personal rejection.

Welcome back to the Slim Society show ladies & gents. Today I (Connor Rhodes) am being questioned and quizzed by a fantastic client & friend of mine: Andrena Massie! This is real life recorded conversation considering the in's & out's of diet & lifestyle choices, weight management, health & many others things. We get into MANY topics like: vegan/veganism, paleo diet, 5-2 diet, fasting, weight loss, health, support, coaching, happiness, progress & much much more! We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did! Thanks for tuning in! Like & subscribe if you enjoy the show! We bring you entertainment, education & positivity every single week. Thank you!
In episode 65, Andrena helps us press into and area of healing we don't want to: unforgiveness. While we can feel like we want God to heal us from the wounds inflicted by others, He may see a more important healing that will cost us more than we are willing to give. What if that healing is actually abundantly more than we could ask or imagine, and the wounds we are fretting are but "light and momentary troubles"?

Entrevistem Anna Gallés, artista multidisciplinar i especialista en medi ambient, per parlar sobre la seva exposició 'Critical transitions' que podeu veure fins al 28 de juliol a Lab Art Studio de Barcelona. A 'Critical transitions', Anna Gallés ens presenta tres ecosistemes en recipients de vidre on podrem apreciar la seva evolució i com a cada minut que passa són diferents, perquè els sistemes complexos són mutables, variables. Un cop que traspassen un punt crític, és difícil tornar enrere. El canvi no ha de ser necessàriament negatiu. Anna Gallés també ha impulsat la seva fundació Andrena, creada per preservar els ecosistemes aquàtics, que són també un exemple de sistemes complexos, com són el cos i la ment humanes, la societat, els organismes... La percepció de la bellesa, la sensació de la transmutabilitat, el canvi i la consciència sobre el mediambient és el que transmet 'Critical transitions' al públic. Gaudiu d'aquesta experiència única!

Interview was done June 16, 2021! I love meeting new people willing to let me in and share their “lemon to lemonade” experience! This story is about two friends who started a podcast about Finding Your Five. Their theme is "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. One of the greatest ways to elevate your life is to spend time with people who uplift you"! So listen to find out what they share about life giving you lemons, and how the 'lemon phase' is necessary, and what you can do with that! What message do you get from this interview? To hear more from Jen & Drena: https://findingyourfive.com ABOUT the LemonAid Stand: Heidi started hosting the LemonAid Stand live radio talk show, over 20 years ago, in 1999! It all came about when Heidi was dealing with thoughts of suicide, inadequacy, and dealing with infertility. She realized as she reached out to others and heard their stories, she would be uplifted and inspired no matter what she was going through. So this podcast has old "Original" shows from that time period. It also has "New" shows that are currently being recorded with new guests. And it has "Update" shows where Heidi reached out to original radio show guests to find out how the past 20 years have been! Do you know a story that needs to be shared?

Trigger warning: discussion of racist experiences. Race, Racism, Racist slurs. The news headlines and social media may not be so full of Black Lives Matters marches and stories anymore, but at Church Army we are know that fighting racism is a movement not just a moment. It's so important to hear from people who have experienced racism and start to discuss together how we can bring about change. Join Chris and Hannah as they open up the conversation about race with Andrena Palmer and Vee Pinto, black women who are part of the Church Army community. We talk about what the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' means, and Andrena and Vee share their own experiences of racism. This conversation is very moving at times, but their stories are so important to hear. This is part 1 of 2 of our episodes discussing race and the church.

Today’s guest is Andrena Sawyer, president of P.E.R.K. Consulting, an advisory firm for small to mid-sized nonprofits and businesses. Andrena works actively to mobilize and empower others—and that is exactly what she does in this episode. Andrena walks us through how to set better goals for our business, using the SMART formula. But she goes deeper than that, providing brilliant advice on how we should be setting a vision for our business. And she explains why we should focus more time on our business, not just providing services to clients nonstop. DELIBERATE FREELANCER SHOW NOTES Hear how Andrena went from law school to being an entrepreneur. When Andrena launched P.E.R.K. Consulting she still had a full-time job, but she quickly realized her energy was being split. She knew she had to commit full-time to consulting in order to make it work. If we learned anything at all about goal setting, we probably learned a linear approach. But Andrena recommends a circular approach, which starts first with an assessment to see if your goal is even viable. To do that, use the SMART approach to goal setting: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. Learn the four steps entrepreneurs should take before they implement their idea. It all starts with vision casting—where you want to be with your business. Create a vision board of what you envision your business will be. As you create and grow your business, you need to focus on all four pillars of business: financial, operational, capacity and customer. Andrena recommends—at minimum—an annual retreat. (She’s speaking my language!) It’s even better, she says, to have a quarterly retreat to focus on your business. I love this comment from Andrena: “A lot of people don’t understand that you have to work ON your business in order to work IN your business effectively.” Andrena outlines the mistakes to avoid when setting your goals.

In this episode I talk with Andrena Duffin. Andrena has lived all over the world, but has never been more than 6 months without being back on Mull. When she was younger her family owned Erray farm, outside of Tobermory, which she talks about around 15 minutes into our chat. Her parents then moved over to Ulva Ferry, from where her father ran boat trips to Staffa. There’s so much detail in Andrena’s conversation, it’s quite remarkable. I don’t really want to spoil it for you, but if you’re interested in ghost stories, and a certain Scottish monster, then this is the episode for you… The whole What We Do in the Winter project has also been sponsored in kind by the Island Bakery. In the coming months I’m going to pull together an episode on the filming of When 8 Bells Toll, which was made on and around Mull. I’m looking to chat to anyone who was involved with the filming or anyone who has a particular affection for it. And, a bit of a long stretch, I know, I’m trying to see if I can get a few minutes to interview Anthony Hopkins about his work on the film. As these podcasts take quite a lot of time to make, I’m looking to fund raise through donations. So if you feel like it, and are able to, please feel free to donate the cost of a cup of coffee through the website. You’ll see a ‘donate’ tab there, where you can donate if you so wished. I’ve also got a Patreon page for donations which you can find under my name, Alasdair Satchel, if you want to contribute to that you’re very welcome. Also, to help me grow the podcast, if you want to leave a rating or a review on which ever platform you use to listen I’d be most grateful. Thank you to those of you that have, I really, really appreciate it! We can be reached on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and on email at whatwedointhewinter@gmail.com This episode is dedicated to the memory of Cookie, Anne Flavell, who brought so much to life in Tobermory. Thank you for listening, I look forward to speaking to you again soon! There are so many links for this episode that they can't all fit in this text!

For most of her life Andrena Forrest felt she had no voice and found it easier to stay in the back ground. Then one day, ready for change and adventure she accepted an invitation to visit Australia and 'try it out'. It was the start of a period of learning, awakening and great change in her life during which she learned and perfected the art of voice analysis after experiencing the profound changes it started in her own life . Andrena has made it her mission to help others, children and adults to find their voice, confidence and healing. Through her business Soultone she's perfected a system that involves a simple voice analysis and a series of exercises to balance and restore any tones lost through emotional hurt or experiences. She views the voice as a mirror of the physical and emotional self and an indicator of where there are toxins in the body. It's her passion and mission to enable everyone to speak their truth.

Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die Phylogenie der kurzzungigen Bienengattung Andrena, sowie die der langzungigen Bienentribus Anthophorini unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Gattung Habropoda untersucht. Mit ca. 1500 gültig beschriebenen Arten weltweit stellt die holarktische Bienengattung Andrena (Sandbienen) die größte Bienengattung überhaupt dar. Die Phylogenie dieser Gattung ist bislang nur unzureichend erforscht worden. So beschränkten sich frühere Untersuchungen nur auf einige wenige Untergattungen oder bestimmte regionale Vertreter von Andrena, aber berücksichtigten niemals die gesamte Gattung und all ihre verschiedenen Untergattungen. Im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung, welche 84 Vertreter der 99 gegenwärtig bekannten Andrena-Untergattungen einschließt, wurde eine kladistische Analyse, basierend auf 162 morphologischen Merkmalen durchgeführt. Eine mögliche Merkmalsentwicklung im Hinblick auf die verwendete Polarität wurde diskutiert. Insgesamt wurden 107 Taxa kodiert, von denen fünf je einen Verterter aller anderen Gattungen der Unterfamilie Andreninae representierten. Aufgrund der ebenfalls ungeklärten Verwandschaftsverhältnisse innerhalb der Andreninae wurde ein hypothetischer Vorfahre als Außengruppe verwendet. Eine heuristische Analyse ohne Merkmalsgewichtung ergab insgesamt sechs maximal sparsame Kladogramme (MPTs) mit einer Länge von 1875 Schritten. Das strikte Konsensus-Kladogramm dieser sechs Bäume ließ sieben Großgruppen innerhalb der Gattung Andrena erkennen. Die Monophylie von Andrena wurde durch fünf, nicht-homoplastische Synapomorphien begründet. Cubiandrena stellte sich als nicht zu Andrena gehörig heraus und wird als eigene Gattung betrachtet. Eine zweite Analyse unter Verwendung iterativer Mermalsgewichtung (a posteriori Gewichtung) resultierte in einem einzigen Kladogramm. Dieses stimmte in einigen Teilen mit den Ergebnissen der ungewichteten Analyse überein, zeigte aber auch deutliche Unterschiede zu diesen. In beiden Analysen wurden 14 Gruppen festgestellt, die die gleichen Taxa zusammenfassten, elf davon wiesen eine identische Baumtopologie auf. In beiden Analysen erwies sich Andrena als die am stärksten abgeleitete Gattung innerhalb der Andreninae, während Euherbstia den ursprünglichsten Vertreter darstellte. Die holarktisch verbreiteten Untergattungen Larandrena, Micrandrena und Ptilandrena erwiesen sich sowohl in der ungewichteten als auch in der gewichteten Anlyse als polyphyletische Taxa. Amerika wird als Ursprungsort der Andreninae angesehen, während die Gattung Andrena, wahrscheinlich altweltlichen Ursprungs (Mittelmeergebiet oder Zentralasien) ist, da die meisten ursprünglichen Untergattungen eine ausschließlich paläarktische Verbreitung aufweisen. Während sich die holarktische Verbreitung von Andrena wahrscheinlich auf Ausbreitungsvorgänge am Ende der Kreidezeit und im frühen Tertiär zurückführen läßt, scheint die Entstehung rein nearktischer und paläarktischer Untergattungen auf Vikarianzereignissen, verursacht durch die beginnende Ausdehnung des Atlantiks und die damit einhergehende Trennung der nordamerikanischen und europäischen Landmassen seit dem mittleren Eozän, zu beruhen. Die vorliegende Studie beinhaltet außerdem eine molekulare Analyse eines 758 basenpaarlangen DNA Abschnittes der mitochondrialen Cytochrom Oxidase I für 27 zentraleuropäische Andrena-Arten. Die untersuchten Arten repräsentieren 21 verschiedene Untergattungen, sowie sieben Vertereter der Untergattung Micrandrena. Als Außengruppe wurde Panurgus verwendet. Die Parsimonie-Analyse der ungewichteten COI-Daten ergab ein einzelnes MPT mit einer Länge von 1724 Schritten, in welchem fünf Großgruppen unterschieden wurden. Die Untergattung Micrandrena, welche einen Schwerpunkt der Analyse bildete, erwies sich als eindeutig polyphyletisch. Folgende Taxa der Gattung Andrena wurden als neu für die Wissenschaft beschrieben: Calcarandrena subgen. n., Hamandrena subgen. n., Platygalandrena subgen. n.; A. (Carandrena) planti sp. n., A. (Euandrena) yangi sp. n., A. (Habromelissa) nantouensis sp. n., A. (Larandrena) susanneae sp. n., A. (Leucandrena) cheni sp. n., A. (Micrandrena) taiwanensis Dubitzky 2002, A. (Pallandrena) christineae sp. n., A. (Pallandrena) scheuchli sp. n., A. (Simandrena) heinzi sp. n. and A. lehmanni Schönitzer & Dubitzky 2002. Die folgenden zwei Taxa wurden in den Status einer Art erhoben: A. eburnea Warncke, 1975 stat. n. and A. impasta Warncke, 1975 stat. n. Die folgende Untergattung wurde zur Gattung erhoben: Cubiandrena Warncke, 1968 stat. n. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wurde die Phylogenie der Anthophorini untersucht. Die Anthophorini stellen eine der größten Triben von mittelgroßen bis großen, nestbauenden Bienen der Unterfamilie Apinae dar, und umfassen etwa 710 Arten aus sieben Gattungen. Die kladistische Analyse der Anthophorini basierte auf 51 morphologischen Merkmalen und umfasste 26 Innengruppen-Taxa, welche alle bekannten Gattungen und die wichtigsten Untergattungen der Tribus repräsentierten. Als Außengruppe wurde Centris verwendet. Die Analyse resultierte in zwei MPTs mit einer Länge von 132 Schritten. Die folgende Baumtopologie auf Gattungsebene konnte festgestellt werden: ((Habrophorula, Elaphropoda) (Habropoda (Deltoptila (Pachymelus (Amegilla, Anthophora))))). Eine zweite, von manchen Autoren vertretene Tribus, die Habropodini, konnte nicht bestätigt werden, da diese ein paraphyletisches Taxon bildet. Die Monophylie der Anthophorini sowie all ihrer Gattungen wurde bestätigt. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen der kladistischen Analyse und den biogeographischen Daten der Anthophorini wurde eine mögliche Hypothese zur Evolution der Anthophorini entwickelt. Demnach entwickelten sich alle Anthophorini-Gattungen, abgesehen von Anthophora und Amegilla, die frühestens im Oligozän entstanden sein dürften, wahrscheinlich bereits in der späten Kreidezeit. Der nordliche Teil Südostasiens (Indien bis Südost China) kann als wahrscheinlichster Ursprungsort und als Radiationszentrum der Anthophorini angesehen werden, da in dieser Region die meisten Gattungen sowie die ursprünglichsten Vertreter dieser Tribus vorkommen. Amerika wurde wahrscheinlich dreimal unabhängig von Vertretern der Anthophorini besiedelt: Von Habropoda (Obere Kreide bis Tertiär), von einem Deltoptila-ähnlichen Vorfahren (Obere Kreide bis Tertiär) und von Anthophora (Tertiär bis Quartär). Die rezente Verbreitung von Deltoptila und Pachymelus impliziert, daß die Evolution dieser Gattungen höchstwahrscheinlich auf Vikarianzereignisse zurückzuführen ist, während die Verbreitung aller anderen Gattungen auf einfachen verbreitungsdynamischen Prozessen wie Ausbreitung (Habropoda, Anthophora, Amegilla) oder Isolation (Elaphropoda, Habrophorula) aufgrund ökologischer oder abiotischer (klimatischer) Faktoren beruhen dürfte. Darüber hinaus wurde die Phylogenie der Gattung Habropoda, welche weltweit etwa 60 Arten umfasst, näher untersucht. Eine durchgeführte kladistische Analyse 25 paläarktischer und orientalischer Habropoda-Arten, welche alle wichtigen altweltlichen Gruppen dieser Gattung repräsentieren, basierte auf 41 morphologischen Merkmalen und ergab 3 MPTs mit einer Länge von 96 Schritten. Basierend auf dem Konsensus-Baum ergab sich folgende Baumtopologie auf Untergattungsebene: (Fulvohabropoda ((Oculhabropoda, Phyllohabropoda) (Zonhabropoda, Habropoda s. str.))). Wahrscheinlich entwickelten sich die Hauptlinien von Habropoda bereits in der Oberen Kreide im nördlichen Teil Südostasiens. Die beginnende Auffaltung des Himalayas im Eozän hat dann möglicherweise eine Trennung der Gattung in eine paläarktische (Habropoda s. str., Zonhabropoda) und eine orientalische (alle anderen Untergattungen sowie isoliert stehende Arten) Entwicklungslinie bewirkt und wahrscheinlich eine verstärkte Radiation innerhalb der Untergattung Fulvohabropoda ausgelöst. Das Vorkommen von Zonhabropoda in Ostasien scheint sekundär zu sein und ist höchstwahrscheinlich auf jüngere Ausbreitungsprozesse entlang der asiatischen Steppen nordlich des Himalayas zurückzuführen. Während der Isolation entstandene klimatische Anpassungen verhinderten möglicherweise die Ausbreitung von Zonhabropoda in Richtung Südostasien. Im Rahmen einer Revision der taiwanesischen Habropoda-Arten und ihrer parasitoiden Kuckucksbienen aus der Gattung Tetralonioidella wurde außerdem die Koevolution zwischen den Vertretern dieser beiden Bienengattungen anhand ihrer jahreszeitlichen und höhenabhängigen Verbreitungsmuster untersucht. Die folgenden Taxa aus den Gattungen Habropoda und Tetralonioidella wurden als neu für die Wissenschaft beschrieben: Fulvohabropoda subgen. n., Oculhabropoda subgen. n., Phyllohabropoda subgen. n., Zonhabropoda subgen. n.; Habropoda (Phyllohabropoda) christineae sp. n., Habropoda (Phyllohabropoda) sinensis taiwana ssp. n. and Tetralonioidella heinzi sp. n.. Tetralonioidella himalayana formosana stat. n. wurde in den Rang einer Unterart gestuft und für Habropoda tainanicola tainanicola Strand, 1913 wurde ein Lectotypus designiert.
