I am a master's student, currently working on my dissertation focused on the characterization of wild bee (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) communities in the Local Nature Reserve of Paul da Goucha (Alpiarça, Santarém). This effort will result in a reference collection for the study area that will be deposited in the National Museum of Natural History and Science (Lisbon, Portugal), where specimen preparation and identification has been ongoing with the aid of various specialists and reseachers, under the supervision of Dr. Roberto Keller.
