  1. Only abundance in the hymenoptera order was significantly different between sites. The difference was due to the abundance of individuals in the Halictidae, Apidae, and Megachilidae families. DF, desert fringe, DR, desert remnant, and MU, mesiscaped urban.
  2. *Statistically significant at the 0.05 level.
