Abstract

The distribution of bees can be estimated, in part, by enviromental variables associated with geography. Using bee occurrence records, we quantified the estimated species richness of the EPA level 3 defined ecoregions using coverage-based rarefaction. Our study reveals that bee species richness is highest in ecoregions with warm dry summers. Furthermore, increased species richness was found to be correlated with maximum mean temperature.
