| Abstract Solitary bees Apidae: Centridini are important pollinators of Malpighia emarginata DC. Malpighiales: Malpighiaceae. However, there are few studies on the characterization of populations of this species in areas with orchards and their surroundings. This study analyzed the morphometric variability and sexual dimorphism of Centris tarsata Smith, sampled in artificial nests installed at four different vegetation types. The right forewings of 168 individuals were dissected, photographed, and the images processed in TpsUtil and brought to the TpsDig2 version 2.12 for plotting 18 landmarks by geometric morphometrics. Data were analyzed through Principal Components Analysis PCA, Canonical Variables CV, and cross-validation in order to test the correct... |
