M.  aHymenoptera (insectabimnoptera) associated with silvipastoral systems.h[electronic resource]  c2012  aThe objective of this work was to estimate the abundance, diversity and constancy of families from the order Hymenoptera, such as the seasonality of those through a survey on the insect population in a silvopastoral system. We installed a Malaise-type trap in a Brachiaria decumbens area managed by a silvopastoral system in Coronel Pacheco, MG, from August 2006 to July 2008. The trapped insects were screened, and those of the order Hymenoptera were classified into their respective family categories and quantified. We adopted the methodology of Bodenheimer to calculate the indices of constancy, while other indices were estimated PAST program. We sampled 5841 specimens in total, which included 549 morphospecies and were distributed among 11 families. Of the total specimens sampled, 80% were Formicidae, which besides being the most abundant, was also the most diverse and constant family. When entomophagous insects were analyzed, the highest values for these indices were recorded for the families Ichneumonidae, Braconidae, and Vespidae. Pollinators were less prevalent compared to the total number of sampled individuals. The population density in the Hymenoptera was not correlated between the two sampling years and climate factors.  aagroforestry  anatural enemies  apollinators  aAnts  aPopulation survey1 aRESENDE, T.
