in lowland tropical forests. Orchid bees (Apidae, Euglossini) are one of the most important …

Increasing food production while preserving natural ecosystem services linked to native
biodiversity is one of the most important societal challenges in the 21st-century. Natural …

The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of habitat loss and forest replacement by cattle
pasture on the alpha and beta diversity, abundance, biomass and species composition of …
