Integrative Profiling of Bee Communities from Habitats of Tropical Southern Yunnan (China)

Abstract Understanding and managing pollination service is hindered by taxonomic impediments and paucity of data, particularly in the tropics. Herein we apply integrative species delineation and taxonomy to test impacts of land use on the diversity of bee communities within Xishuangbanna (Yunnan, so...
