Large carpenter bees exhibit considerable dispersal capabilities in a tropical semi-arid region susceptible to desertification

Abstract excerpt

Desertification is a major threat to biodiversity in arid areas of the world, in part because many organisms in these regions are already existing at or near the limits of their movement and physiology. Here, we used molecular data to investigate patterns of persistence and dispersal in an ecologically and economically important carpenter bee (Xylocopa grisescens Lepeletier) found throughout the semiarid Caatinga...
