“…Both materials abound in the arboretum, besides the preys collected by them (cockroaches, spiders and insect larvae). Similar differences were observed by Matos et al (2016) studying the faunistic composition of trap-nesting wasps and bees in an agroecological system. Those authors suggested that, in fact, habitat requirements of bees and wasps are different.…”

Urban areas, as cities, are frequently overlooked as refuges for the native fauna. However, these places may support several species and house relevant biodiversity contributing to important ecosystemic functions. Wasps and bees (Hymenoptera: Apocrita) are important faunistic elements acting as predators/parasitoids and pollinators, respectively. Therefore, they must be surveyed and inventoried for conservation purposes, especially in cities located in the Atlantic Forest domain, a ravaged Brazilian biome. Accordingly, this study presents a species list of trap-nesting bees and wasps that occurs at the Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro. The survey was conducted using the trap-nest method. Three types of trap-nests were offered totalizing 1,038 traps: rubber hose, bamboo cane and plastic straw. The plastic straw traps were the most effective followed by the bamboo cane ones at attracting nesting wasps and bees. Between April/2017 and February/2019, 12 foundress species built nests: Tetrapedia curvitarsis (Apidae) (33 nests), Hylaeus sp. (Colletidae) (6), Auplopus cf. rufipes (Pompilidae) (5), Trypoxylon sp. (Crabronidae) (4), Pachodynerus nasidens (Vespidae) (3), Auplopus cf. brasiliensis (Pompilidae), Megachile benigna and Megachile sp. (Megachilidae), Euglossa pleosticta, Euglossa sp., and Eufriesea sp. (Apidae) and Penepodium sp. (Sphecidae) all with one nest. Also, four natural enemies were recorded: Chaenotetrastichus neotropicalis (Eulophidae), Gasteruption brachychaetum (Gasterupteiidae), Caenochrysis crotonis (Chrysididae) and Amobia sp. (Diptera: Sarcophagidae). Most bee nests were restrained to the matrix forest and nearby areas, whereas wasps built their nests predominantly in open areas. Regarding seasonality, bees tended to nest in the summer and early autumn influenced by mean temperature, in contrast of wasps that nested in late autumn, winter and spring, influenced by pluviosity. Besides many rare species, which suggests environmental disturbance, the Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro showed a fairly diverse fauna and shows how forest fragment in cities may harbour important representatives of the native fauna.

“…In our study, the end of the dry season was marked by an increase in the richness and abundance of bees, while for wasps the peaks occurred in the rainy season in all forest treatments. This pattern has also been observed in other tropical environments (Assis & Camillo 1997;Melo & Zanella 2012;Batista Matos et al 2013;Matos et al 2016;Oliveira & Gonçalves 2017;Flores et al 2018;Araújo et al 2018aAraújo et al , 2018b. However, among treatments, teak was the habitat with lower temporal stability of nesting rates across seasons.…”

Global initiatives to recover degraded areas have intensified in recent years. However, the effectiveness of different reforestation practices in restoring habitat stability and essential resources for species over time is poorly known. We tested the degree of temporal stability of bee and wasp communities reestablishiment in different types of forest regeneration compared to intact primary forest in southern Amazonia. Using trap-nest sampling, we collected, during 12 months, information about the nesting species in six different types of treatments: pastures, teak reforestation, fig and mixed native species, natural regeneration forest, and forest primary. We observed that in all reforested treatments, the abundance and richness of both bees and wasps were greater than in pasture sites. However, not all reforestation strategies had the same degree of effectiveness in maintaining the stability of bee and wasp communities over time than observed in primary forest communities. The high temporal variation in teak structure promoted high instability in bee and wasp communities over time. In contrast, reforestation using perennial species, such as fig or mixed species, resulted in a greater temporal stability of bee and wasp communities, although dissimilarity to primary forest remained high. Communities in natural regeneration were the most similar to primary forest, with high similarity of species composition and high temporal stability across seasons. Our findings suggest that reforestation strategies that promote increased complexity of vegetation structure, and better resemble "natural" forests in the provision of habitat resources throughout the year, will better restore and maintain communities through time.

“…Still concerning the fauna of Hymenoptera, Matos et al (2016) on sampling in the city of North Miranda, identified eight families and 17 species. In Sphecidae family the genus Isodontia was sampled 250 individuals that were not identified to species level, being distributed in Isodontia sp 1 (145 individuals), Isodontia sp 2 (80), Isodontia sp (13), Isodontia sp (11) and Isodontia sp (1), which may possibly constitute new species or first records for the State.…”

Maranhão North Mesoregion has the highest demographic density of the state because where is located the capital, São Luís. The climate is humid or sub-humid tropical with rainfall rates around 1,000 mm / year, and suffering, this way, the mass influence of air. The coastal plain of Maranhão is subdivided into four geomorphological sectors: to the west-northwest coast, which is marked by State recesses, specifically maranhense Golfão; the east coast where dominate the fields of movable or fixed dunes; and the deltaic plain of the Parnaíba River. This study aimed to present a panorama of the North region of Maranhão State demographic density focus, economic sectors, and biological diversity. With regard to the economic sector, the northern region, one of the highlights are the Lençóis maranhenses, the main geo-touristic attractive in relation to its natural beauty and to its mysteries, rivers, mangroves, moving dunes and interdune lagoons, constituting areas of magnificent landscapes, with favorable conditions for recreational tourism. In the extreme north of the state, is found the baixada maranhense that is considered one of the most beautiful state tourist centers, characterized by extensive plains, rivers, estuaries, mangroves and flooded fields, having as highlight, the floating islands of Formoso, Lontra, Cajari and Capivari lakes, in the city of Penalva. In terms of biological diversity, the North Region is dominated by the Amazon forest, which has specific characteristics of the tropical forest. The fauna of the region is typical, with the presence of large and medium-sized animals and many arthropods already reported to the state. The vegetation comprises trees of the Amazon domain, however, is easily found plants of the cerrado biome and babassu palms. In general, the region stands out for its natural beauty and constitute an important economic center. Key words: São Luís Island, Maranhense Amazon, Maranhão State. DIVERSIDADE BIOGEOGRÁFICA DA MESORREGIÃO NORTE DO ESTADO DO MARANHÃO (BRASIL)RESUMO: A Mesorregião do Norte Maranhense possui a maior densidade demográfica do Estado, pois é onde está localizado a capital, São Luís. O clima da região é tropical úmido ou subúmido com índices de precipitação entorno de 1.000 mm/ano, sofrendo assim influência de massas de ar. A Planície Costeira do Maranhão é subdividida em quatro setores geomorfológicos: a costa oeste-noroeste que é marcada por reentrâncias do Estado, especificamente o Golfão maranhense; a costa leste onde predomina os campos de dunas móveis ou fixas; e a planície deltaica do rio Parnaíba. Neste trabalho objetivou apresentar um panorama da região norte do Estado do Maranhão com enfoque densidade demográfica, setores econômicos e diversidade biológica. No que tange ao setor econômico a região norte, um dos destaques é os Lençóis maranhense, principal atrativo geoturístico no que se refere às suas belezas naturais e aos seus mistérios, rios, mangues, dunas móveis e lagoas interdunas, constituindo áreas de paisagens magníficas, com condiçõ...
