Phenological and social characterization of three Lasioglossum (Dialictus) species inferred from long-term trapping collections [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021
Detailed social and phenological data collected from nesting aggregations exist for relatively few sweat bee species because nesting aggregations are rarely found in large numbers, even when local populations are highly abundant. This limits researchers’
