Record of Anthophora (Clisodon) terminalis in a wooden trap-nesting block and comparison to available nesting information (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Abstract

Bee nesting substrate choice can influence habitat use, conservation effort efficacy, and population or landscape-use modeling, but information on nesting sites are often scattered in the literature. Here we bring together the available information on nests of a widespread bee, Anthophora (Clisodon) terminalis Cresson, and describe an unusual new nesting substrate use for this species.
