	abstract = {With the growing interest in pollinator conservation, a need has emerged for a simple. unbiased method to reliably sample local bee faunas. One method. pan-trapping, has increased in popularity without critical evaluation of its efficacy and biases. We compared traditional net collecting at flowers and pan trapping concurrently, sampling the local bee fauna of the dominant desert shrub. creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) growing at the Silver-bell site of the International Biosphere Program (IBP) nw of Tucson Arizona. pan-traps on the ground yielded a faunal sample depauperate in many of the more common native bee species on creosote bush, particularly its floral specialists. This pan-trap sample also corresponded poorly with the previous four years{\textquoteright} faunal samples at this site, with pairs of neighboring net-sampled sites throughout the Southwest. and with all pairs of bee samples from Larrea across the Upper Sonoran desert. The likely causes of this disparity and the utility of pan trapping for bees in faunal and community studies is discussed},

	abstract = {Urbanization within the Tucson basin of Arizona during the past 50+ years has fragmented the original desert scrub into patches of different sizes and ages. These remnant patches, like the surrounding desert, are dominated by Larrea tridentata (creosote bush), a long-lived, evergreen shrub whose flowers are visited by more than 120 native bee species across its range. Twenty-one of these bee species restrict their pollen foraging to L. tridentata. To evaluate the response of this native bee fauna to fragmentation, we compared species incidence and abundance patterns for the bee guild visiting Larrea at 59 habitat fragments of known size (0.002-5 ha) and age (up to 70 years), and in adjacent desert. The 62 bee species caught during this study responded to fragmentation heterogeneously and not in direct relation to their abundance or incidence in undisturbed desert. Only a few species found in continuous desert outside the city were entirely absent from urban fragments. Species of ground-nesting Larrea specialists were under-represented in smaller fragments and less abundant in the smaller and older fragments. In contrast, cavity-nesting bees (including one Larrea specialist) were over-represented in the habitat fragments, probably due to enhanced nesting opportunities available in the urban matrix. Small-bodied bee species were no more likely than larger-bodied species to be absent from the smaller fragments. The introduced European honeybee, Apis mellifera, was a minor faunal element at >90\% of the fragments and exerted little if any influence on the response patterns of native bee species to fragmentation. Overall, native bee response to urban habitat fragmentation was best predicted by ecological traits associated with nesting and dietary breadth. The consequences for the floral host and its pollination interactions are not intuitive but await investigation.},
