Geography
Country: Brazil
State: Säo Paulo
Coordinate: 22° 1' S, 47° 53' W
Coordinate basis: based on nearby landmark
Geography comments: "inside the urban area of the city of Säo Carlos (SP-Brazil) located between 21º30’S 47º30’W and 22º30’S 48º30’W... All sites were found on street sidewalks within the urban perimeter" (this range is very large, so the coordinate is based on Säo Carlos)
Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical savanna
Altered habitat: inhabited area
Protection: unprotected
Substrate: ground surface
MAP: 1400.0
Habitat comments: "The climate of the region is bimodal, with dry winters (April–September), wet summers (October–May)... The native vegetation of the area was mainly composed of savannas, arboreal savannas and riparian forests, but it is currently very fragmented, with only 7% of its original coverage remaining"
Methods
Life forms: orchid bees
Sites: 12
Sampling methods: no design,hand capture
Sample size: 878 individuals
Years: 2005, 2006
Sampling comments: "Twelve sites of T. peruviana trees were sampled, located at linear distances ranging from 0.24– 5.45 km apart... For four months in 2005 (Feb–Mar; Nov, Nov– Dec) and seven months in 2006 (Jan–Jul), every site was sampled at least once every two weeks for a two-hour period... Euglossines were collected in plastic bags while visiting T. peruviana flowers... The vials were then opened until the bees found their way out and flew away"
