We conducted a baseline characterization of the abundance and seasonality Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762)-a vector dengue, chikungunya, Zika-in two suburban localities Yucatan, Mexico, as first step in implementation an integrated management (IVM) plan combining 'traditional control' (source reduction/truck-mounted ultra-low volume [ULV] spraying) incompatible insect technique/sterile technique for population suppression Mexico. Weekly entomological collections with ovitraps BG-sentinel traps...
Parasitoid hymenopterans are a highly diverse group of insects; therefore, the choice an adequate sampling method becomes important to achieve representative species richness site. The aim this work is evaluate size and diversity parasitoids in relation height Malaise trap placement above ground low deciduous forest from Yucatan, Mexico. Parasitoids were collected September October 2015, using three traps at level other located right others, leaving no space between them, 1.5 m. specimens...
ABSTRACT In recent years the coastal dune vegetation of state Yucatan, Mexico has become highly fragmented due to clearing for development. We evaluated patterns genetic differentiation and variability among orchid populations ( Myrmecophila christinae var ) in eight habitat fragments along a west‐to‐east disturbance gradient which sites located on western end began experiencing fragmentation earlier than those east. Leaf samples from adult individuals juvenile plants were collected all...
The biology and behavior of insects are strongly influenced by environmental conditions such as temperature precipitation. Because some these factors present a within day variation, they may be causing variations on insect diurnal flight activity, but scant information exists the issue. aim this work was to describe patterns variation abundance Ichneumonoidea their relation with relative humidity, temperature, light intensity, wind speed. study site tropical dry forest at Ría Lagartos...
Insect fauna biodiversity in natural protected areas has not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, the aim of this work was to assess whether and how vegetation types, land management seasonality influence diversity Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve (Mexico). A sampling programme conducted using Malaise traps from 2008 2009 three each with two conservation zones (core buffer zones). Three seasons were considered: rainy, dry north-winds (isolated storms November...
Antecedentes y Objetivos: Agave angustifolia, o chelem, es el único maguey silvestre de la Península Yucatán ancestro especies domesticadas gran valor económico cultural. Presta importantes servicios ambientales como recurso alimenticio para fauna, fijación suelos arenosos captura carbono en ambientes áridos con pobres. Es un cultivo potencial cara al aumento las sequías predichas región del empobrecimiento genético henequén. El objetivo este trabajo recabar datos sobre densidad sus...
Los colibríes son importantes polinizadores del Neotrópico y indicadores de perturbación la vegetación. Para conservarlos,se requiere conocer los recursos florales que utilizan. En este trabajo documentamos las especies deplantas usan como alimento durante parte estación seca (enero-marzo 2013) en Reserva Biosfera Ría Lagartos,Yucatán; exploramos si cada especie planta es visitada proporción a abundancia sus flores existe una correlacióntemporal entre ambos grupos. Del recorrido trayectos...
La restauración ecológica de la Reserva Ría Lagartos incluye plantación especies nativas; sin embargo, no se ha documentado con qué propiedades del ecosistema relacionan estas en sus hábitats naturales. En este trabajo describe relación entre cobertura vegetal y algunas suelo matorral duna costera. Se muestrearon 30 cuadrantes 4 m2 cada uno; cuadrante estimó el porcentaje por especie mantillo (MAN), así mismo tomó una muestra uno, les midió: pH, conductividad eléctrica (CE), densidad...
A pesar de que recientemente las selvas secundarias han aumentado su superficie mundial a costa primarias, el valor primeras para conservar la vida silvestre no está completamente entendido. En Yucatán extensas zonas agropecuarias sido abandonadas debido migración los productores grandes ciudades, lo ha permitido regeneración vegetación. Esto representa una invaluable oportunidad describir efecto en poblaciones aves con diferentes requerimientos ecológicos, especial, área influencia reserva...
Abstract Several authors suggest that greater vegetation complexity provides more shelters, supporting higher parasitoid diversity. Additionally, it serves as visual cue in host searching. This study evaluates how stimuli and herbivore-induced changes affect strategies guilds low deciduous forest [Yabucu], Medium Semi-Evergreen [Noh-Bec]. We calculated the relative abundance of idiobiont koinobiont life for each type constructed range-abundance curves these communities. Also, relationship...
Parasitoids are an important group of insects because their species number is among the highest. Multiple studies have addressed relationships between forest successional age and insect diversity by focusing on herbivorous organisms, but changes in parasitoids still poorly known. This work analyses tropical forests representing three stages. A total 30 traps were placed, ten each We estimated true Ichneumonidae guilds explored relationship abundance plant using Indicator Species Analysis;...
Abstract Microclimatic conditions affect seeds' survival, dormancy, and germination, which are determinants in vegetation succession recovery. The semiarid coastal scrublands of Yucatan, Mexico very important because the environmental services they provide thus, studies needed disturbed sites relation to seed viability microclimate. In this study, we characterized microclimate bank under Pithecellobium keyense s hrubs, during rainy dry seasons. We collected soil samples measured...
En este trabajo evaluamos algunos factores que influyen en el peso corporal de Columbina passerinahabitando diferentes etapas sucesionales la selva baja caducifolia del estado Yucatán. Colectamos muestras, diciembre 2004 a 2005, fragmentos con cuatro edades abandono: (1) >10 años, (2) ≥5 y ≤10 (3) <5 años (4) pastizal uso para ganadería. Empleamos diez redes niebla durante 12/mes/sitio, acumulando un esfuerzo muestreo 1,440 horas/red por sitio. Pesamos 56 individuos. No encontramos...
Es importante estudiar la actividad de forrajeo Polistinae para entender mejor su impacto en los ecosistemas. En este trabajo se describe un nido fase post-emergencia Polybia diguetana relación a temperatura y humedad relativa. El área estudio fue campus universitario Mérida, México, con clima cálido subhúmedo. Se muestreó las siguientes fechas 2019: enero 30 31, febrero 5 6, abril 9 10, el llovió 9:00 11:45 horas. tomó video del 3:40 min duración cada media hora, iniciando 7:30 finalizando...
