Nesting ecology of stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Meliponina) in urban areas: the importance of afforestation

Nesting ecology of stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Meliponina) in urban areas: the importance of afforestation

Studies on nesting ecology have proven to be extremely important for stingless bees conservation. This kind of study is scarce in urban landscapes. Our study aimed to analyze the abundance, density, diversity, spatial distribution and nesting habits of species belonging to the Meliponina subtribe in...
