Abstract

This project aims to carry out an inventory of aculeate wasps in fragments of areas in Pantanal, which brings together a great diversity of habitats, and the Amazon Forest, a biome that is home to immense biodiversity. Active collection, Malaise trap and light trap will be used, and the material will later be sorted and cataloged.
