Decline in bee diversity and abundance from 1972-2004 on a flowering leguminous tree, Andira intermix in Costa Rica at the interface of disturbed dry forest and the urban environment. Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society 82(1):1-20 [ER 2266]

Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest

Altered habitat: inhabited area

Protection: unprotected

Substrate: ground surface

Habitat comments: "Trees of A. inermis, ranging in age from 45–75 yr in 2004, had been planted along a fence row on the east side of the highway... there was little undisturbed native habitat left around the study trees"

Life forms: bees

Sampling methods: no design,sweep nets

Sample size: 1057 individuals

Years: 2004

Sampling comments: "Twelve of the 38 [trees] flowered vigorously in late February 2004, and eight of these were sampled... Using long- handled aerial nets, a total of 96 aerial sweeps were taken in a series of steps from each tree with two collectors working together. At the upper crown level of each tree, six separate collections of eight sweeps each were taken (for total of 48). The same procedure was followed at the lower crown level of each tree for a second set of 48 sweeps"
