WILD BEES (HYMENOPTERA: APOIDEA) AS BIOINDICATORS IN THE NEOTROPICS

WILD BEES (HYMENOPTERA: APOIDEA) AS BIOINDICATORS IN THE NEOTROPICS

The present is a review about the use of wild bees as an indicator group in biodiversity and fragmentation studies. It describes the criteria used for the selection of bioindicator groups and it discusses the available information to evaluate if wild bees meet this criteria. The reviewed information...
