“…The abundance of spider and beetle assemblages did not show a significant relationship with the amount of precipitation (spiders: Spearman, rho 38 = 0.26, P = 0.1148; beetles: rho 38 = 0.09, P = 0.5657). Contrary to our results, other investigations in which spiders (Carrel 2001;Rodrigues et al 2008) and beetles (Orozco & Perez 2008;Grimbacher & Stork 2009) were studied found that the amount of precipitation influenced their abundance. The species richness of spider assemblages differed significantly between the three groups of nests (Student's t-test, t 2 = 5.00, P = 0.0377), while in the case of beetle assemblages the difference in species richness was not significant (t 2 = 2.60, P = 0.1217).…”

The appearance of spider (Araneae) and beetle (Coleoptera) assemblages found in nests of great reed warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus was studied, firstly to investigate breeding success and the amount of precipitation as potential factors which might affect the abundance and species richness of both groups. In addition, we compared the diversity of spider and beetle assemblages between nests found in different reed habitats, and considered the position of nests (above water or dry ground). In this study we selected five different randomly chosen reed habitats: two mining ponds, two small canals and one large canal. Great Reed Warbler nests were collected either shortly after fledging, or after the clutch had failed. Altogether, 12 species of spider and 19 species of beetle were collected. In both groups there was no significant difference in abundance between successful, lost and cuckoo-parasitized nests; however, there was a significant difference in species richness between the three nest categories in spider assemblages, which was not the case in beetle assemblages. The amount of precipitation did not affect beetle or spider abundance; only the species richness of spiders showed significant growth. Furthermore, we found no significant relationship between vegetation cover and the species richness and abundance of spiders and beetles. The diversity of both groups differed significantly according to reed habitat: beetle assemblages were most diverse by the large canal and spiders at the mining ponds.

“…Being the most distant from the others. When comparing the results obtained with others carried out with the same study methodology and in areas where the dry forest prevails, it is obtained that the wealth obtained is similar to that recorded in the town of Cerros de Santa Marta (12 species) and superior to the studies made in Sucre registering between 10 and 11 species as an appointment [36] [37], when confronting the records by the department of Norte de Santander with Orozco and Pérez [37] where they obtained 19 species, marking a difference of 6 species with respect to this, I can demonstrate a similarity between the individuals collected.…”

“…According to the collected species, it was obtained that the genus Onthophagus, canthidium and Eurysternos have been located in similar investigations concluding that they are characteristic of dry forests. A representative number was registered with 584 individuals for Canthidium aurifex and 86 individuals for Canthidium sp, being superior to the studies carried out by IAvH [46], Orozco and Pérez [37], for the species Eurysternus caribaeus, an equivalence was registered in all the individuals collected. Similarly, the Canthidium and Eurysternus generates indicated tolerance to different transformation and fragmentation processes within the remnant of the Botanical Garden landscape, highlighting in one way or another being considered characteristic species of the place.…”

The coprophages are a group of individuals of great importance in the ecological dynamism of natural areas given their specific adaptability of the species and their relationship to their distribution since it influences the quality and quantity of the resources they need for their development. In this sense, a study of mangrove coprophages in the dry inter-Andean forest on the grounds of the Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander Ocaña, as a fundamental basis for the in situ conservation of natural areas. For the taxa collection, it was carried out by random sampling within the area, using Pitfall traps made with 16-ounce vessels; inside they contained alcohol and soapy water for the capture and preservation of the species, where the attractant used was decomposing meat and pig manure. The traps were arranged in four sites (M1, M2, M3, and M4), with 15 traps in each of them. In total 824 individuals were registered, distributed in thirteen species, where the abundant corresponds to Canthidium aurifex, Eurysternus scarabaeus and Canthidium sp with 799 (96.96%) toral individuals; while 3.4% (25) of the species with six and one individual correspond to Oryctes nasicornis, Odontotaenius disjunctus, Monochamus sp, Hololepta quadridentata, Calathus fuscipes, Neoathyreus exacavatus, Onthophagus striatulus, Dichotomous sp, Copris lunares, Eurysternus marmoreusIn this way, the differences of two zones are documented, one with acidic to slightly acidic soils and another abundant in phosphates and little organic matter, given that the greater information of coprophages is influenced by environmental variables, in addition this abundance is related to abrupt edges adjacent to agricultural farms, where land tenure has changed the structure and functioning of the landscape typical of anthropic areas.

“…No se registró correlación entre la composición del ensamble y las precipitaciones. Resultados similares han sido encontrados por Orozco y Pérez (2008) en 2 bosques (seco premontano y montañoso húmedo), aunque difieren con los de otros autores (Barbosa- Silva, Hernández, Ide y Moura, 2007;Bustos-Gómez y Lopera-Toro, 2003;Damborsky et al, 2015;Martínez, 2010;Milhomem, Vaz de Melo y Diniz, 2003) quienes encontraron la mayor riqueza y abundancia de especies durante los periodos lluviosos. Escobar (2000) destaca que las variaciones de la comunidad de escarabajos coprófagos entre periodos dependen también de los ambientes, y no encuentra relación entre la riqueza y los niveles de precipitación en bosques de montaña.…”

Benítez. Se realizaron 6 muestreos en bosque de quebracho y selva en galería en periodo seco y lluvioso. Los escarabajos se recolectaron mediante trampas cebadas con materia fecal y calamar, y con trampas de luz. Se recolectaron 3,369 ejemplares de 26 especies. Eurysternus aeneus, Canthon quinquemaculatus, Canthon chalybaeus, Deltochilum komareki y Canthidium (Canthidium) sp., representaron el 65% del total de los individuos. Los estimadores no paramétricos de riqueza indican un porcentaje alto de completitud del inventario. La estructura del ensamble varió significativamente entre periodos, diferentes tipos de cebo y en los meses de muestreo, no así entre ambientes. En épocas secas, la abundancia y diversidad fueron mayores que en el periodo lluvioso. En marzo del 2011 se registró la mayor riqueza, diversidad y abundancia. Mediante trampas cebadas con materia fecal se obtuvo la mayor riqueza y con las de calamar la mayor abundancia. La temperatura máxima fue la variable que mejor explicó los cambios en la composición del ensamble. La riqueza observada demuestra que incluso pequeñas zonas boscosas son importantes áreas de conservación. Este es el primer estudio de la diversidad de Scarabaeinae en el Sitio Ramsar Humedales Chaco. Derechos Reservados © 2015 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Biología.
