Perillo 2017 Bee and Wasp RPPN Santuário do Caraça

Bee and wasp (Aculeata: Hymenoptera) data were collected in the southern region of the Espinhaco Mountain Range, southeastern Brazil. We selected six sites in a sequential altitudinal range (from 1000 to 2000 m a.s.l.) in campos rupestres domains. We used two different methods. The first one was Moericke traps. We installed 9 traps per altitude remaining 48 hours in the field (with 15 days interval during one year - November 2009 to October 2010). And trap nests, which were istalled trought the same years (180 trap nests in each altitude). Every 15 days, trap nests were inspected and all collected insects were deposited on Taxonomic collection of Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais
