Abstract Climate change is expected to exert varying effects on different taxa and species, affecting both their abundance distribution ranges. Previous studies have used climate niche models (CNMs) estimate shifts in the of insects, without considering whether may vary depending functional traits (nesting strategy, body size, period activity). Dung beetles, a taxonomic group characterized by using mammalian dung as primary source food (coprophagy), respond differently temperature...
Mexico is one of the most biodiverse countries in world, with an important proportion endemism mainly because convergence Nearctic and Neotropical biogeographic regions, which generate great diversity species turnover at different spatial scales. However, our knowledge Mexican ant biota limited to a few well-studied taxa, we lack comprehensive synthesis biodiversity information. For instance, available literature on fauna refers only lists by states, or focused regions country, prevents...
Host phylogeny and ecological convergence are two factors thought to influence the structure of parasite communities. The aims this study were determine diversity metazoan parasites 10 sympatric fish species family Carangidae from southeastern Gulf California, analyze their similarity at infracommunity component community levels, in order if host species, particularly those congeneric with similar characteristics, exhibit assemblages parasites. In total, 874 specimens examined 40 identified....
Tropical rain forest fragmentation affects biotic interactions in distinct ways. Little is known, however, about how animal trophic guilds and their patterns of with host plants. In this study, we analyzed changes fragments by using a multitrophic approach. For this, classified arthropods associated Heliconia aurantiaca herbs into broad (omnivores, herbivores predators) assessed the topological structure intrapopulation plant-arthropod networks continuous forests. Habitat type influenced...
Edge effects alter insect biodiversity in several ways. However, we still have a limited understanding on simultaneous responses of ecological populations and assemblages to ecotones, especially human modified landscapes. We analyze edge dung beetle between livestock pastures native temperate forests ( Juniperus pine-oak (POFs)) describe how species abundances assemblage parameters respond through gradients forest-pasture ecotones. In forest 13 avoided the ecotones: six showed greater...
La entomología forense se define como la ciencia que encarga del estudio de los insectos asociados a cadáveres humanos, disciplina en donde artrópodos interactúan con el sistema procuración justicia. Su importancia radica principalmente estimación tiempo muerte investigaciones médico-legales para resolución crímenes, mediante análisis desarrollo larval las primeras especies colonizan cuerpo y patrones sucesión correspondiente moscas escarabajos. secuencia puede ayudar establecer intervalo...
El cemento es un material de construcción ampliamente utilizado debido a su asequibilidad y facilidad uso. Sin embargo, las actividades necesarias para elaboración generan impactos ambientales que perjudican la biodiversidad, por ejemplo, modificación destrucción hábitats naturales, contaminación auditiva, vibraciones, emisiones gases polvo, daños afectando salud especies, permanencia, disponibilidad recursos degradación los ecosistemas. La intención esta publicación, evidenciar estos...
ABSTRACT Understanding the complex interactions between aphids, their natural enemies and surrounding plants is crucial to effectively manage pest aphids in Capsicum crops. While it known that aphidophagous communities can be found both within around crops, which specific plant species support these beneficial insects remains largely unknown. This study aimed identify key could conserved promote control. We sampled identified non‐pest as well insects, for over 3 years 30 crops non‐crop...
Pathogenic organisms can be transmitted orally through drinking water or skin and mucosae by both direct indirect contact, their presence in thus has a negative impact on public health. In wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), is disinfected to inactivate pathogens. The quantification of several microbial indicators aquatic systems required estimate the biological quality such systems. So far, coliform bacteria have been used as traditional world-wide. This study assessed resistance total...
We analyzed the influence of natural and anthropogenic habitat disturbance on structure invertebrate communities living two species Heliconia herbs. compared community associated to both growing in forest gaps, road edges for H. latispatha, riparian vegetation collinsiana. assessed topological individual-based Heliconia–invertebrate networks. Species richness was greater collinsiana inhabiting but no differences were found diversity invertebrates any habitat. Invertebrate abundance gaps...
We evaluated the structure of intrapopulation howler monkey-plant interactions by focusing on plant species consumed different sex and age classes in continuous fragmented forests southern Mexico. For this we used network analysis to evaluate impact fragmentation population traits resource availability food choice. A total 37 tree liana seven items (bark, immature fruits, flowers, mature leaves, leaves petioles) were consumed, but their relative consumption varied according habitat type....
Abstract This study was conducted to assess the spatial distribution of beetles in mountain ecosystems and their elevational diversity. Malaise, pitfall light traps were used collect from nine different mountains Malaysia September 2014 2016, where Gunung Angsi, Belumut, Basor Tebu samples collected at 500 m 1000 (above sea level) elevations, while sampled m, 1500 masl Benom, Inas, Cameron Highland, Besar Hantu Basor. In this study, 9628 belonging 879 species with highest representation...
1. We analysed a cacti‐syrphid community focusing on the exploitation of decaying cacti resources by flies, i.e. if exhibited nested topology as structural pattern, or whether it was temporally random. If availability cactus predictable during rainy season, would then be exploited more structured community, resource unpredictable dry we should expect to random community. 2. registered 12 Copestylum species (9 in and 11 season). Four were recorded per three shared between seasons. 3. The...
We describe the gut bacterial diversity inhabiting two saprophagous syrphids and their breeding substrate (decayed tissues of columnar cactus Isolatocereus dumortieri). analyzed microbiota Copestylum latum (scooping larvae that feed on decayed tissues) limbipenne (whose can also semiliquid using molecular techniques. DNA was extracted from larval guts tissues. The V1-V3 region 16S rRNA genes amplified sequenced. A total 31079 sequences were obtained. main findings are: C. is dominated by...
We studied the saproxylic beetle community inhabiting deadwood in remnants of riparian cloud forests "La Antigua" basin, central Veracruz (Mexico). assessed influence features (tree species, trunk position, diameter, volume and decomposition stages) on diversity. In order to assess stability species-deadwood interactions, we also analyzed ecological networks structure. A total 63 trunks, belonging four tree were sampled by standardized hand-collection throughout well-preserved forest. found...
Abstract Human activities change the biodiversity of ecological communities in at least three dimensions: ecologically, taxonomically and functionally. Gathering information on these dimensions allows improvement assessments increased understanding anthropogenic impact natural communities. In this study, we analysed spider community associated with tropical plant Heliconia aurantiaca two contrasting habitat types: continuous forest fragments south-eastern Mexico. We examined foliage, stems...
We analyzed the effect of selective logging on litter fauna parameters (abundance, richness and diversity) decomposition (remaining dry mass) over time in a temperate pine-oak (Pinus spp.-Quercus spp.) forest central México.An unmanaged managed were compared using bag field experiment.Litter was quantified to levels families morphospecies.Litter abundance, diversity higher forest.The remaining mass rates statistically different between two forests, suggesting that practices reduce...
