Habitat structure components are effective predictors of trap-nesting Hymenoptera diversity

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2008
Abstract Habitat heterogeneity can be the major factor affecting species diversity in a community and measuring bee and wasp community habitat preferences in natural systems may provide insights for biodiversity management and conservation. In the present study, we investigate the effects of habitat structure components on solitary bee and wasp ...

Artificial trap‐nests: A useful tool to assess ants and myrmecophiles diversity

Insect Conservation and Diversity
Abstract Ant colonies are a source of overlooked biodiversity. Given their cryptic nature and the difficulty of accessing host colonies, studying myrmecophiles associated with arboreal ants is challenging.

Nest spacing and architecture, and swarming of males of Dinoponera quadriceps (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in a remnant of the Atlantic Forest in Northeast Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Dinoponera quadriceps is a queenless neotropical ponerinae ant. Nest spacing and abundance were investigated in a remnant of the Atlantic forest in Northeast Brazil. Males were captured with a light trap between August 1994 and July 1996.
