Abstract

In order to effectively conserve biodiversity and understand ecological data, it is crucial to understand the spatial pattern of beta-diversity. Until recently, researchers studying biodiversity in the Amazon, the world's biggest and richest rainforest habitat, have limited their emphasis to a handful of well-known species, mostly plants and animals. There are several taxonomic group-specific patterns of biodiversity (such as richness and endemicity) that cannot be generalized. Over the course of tens of millions of years, natural processes spread out throughout the enormous South American continent gradually added to the rich biodiversity seen in the Amazon. This is one way in which the biodiversity of the Amazon is priceless. Geography, climate, and biotic interactions have always played a role in shaping evolutionary pathways, and these factors continue to do so now. Diverse taxonomic groupings exhibit substantially different speciation times. One type of Neotropical bees that is more well-known is the euglossina bee, sometimes known as the orchid bee, due to its aesthetically pleasing metallic green and blue colours.
