“…Aunque la cantidad de especies de insectos que se asocian al cultivo de heliconias puede ser numerosa (Henao y Ospina, 2008;Aristizábal et al, 2013;Landero-Torres et al, 2015;Souza de Oliveira et al, 2018), por lo general son pocas las especies fitófagas más comu-nes o nocivas en diferentes regiones de América Latina donde se cultivan estas plantas (Canacuán-Nasamuez et al, 2009;Lemos et al, 2010;Ribeiro et al, 2012;Aristizábal et al, 2013;Sosa-Rodríguez, 2013). Asimismo, la diversidad de insectos asociados puede variar en función de la frecuencia con la que se cultivan las diferentes especies de heliconias, su abundancia relacionada con la extensión del área sembrada, grado de exposición a la radiación solar, asociación con otras especies vegetales y manejo del cultivo, entre otros (Henao y Ospina, 2008).…”

RESUMEN Objetivo: Identificar las especies de insectos que se alimentan y dañan plantas del género Heliconia (Heliconiaceae) en plantaciones comerciales del estado de Tabasco, México. Diseño/metodología/aproximación: De enero a octubre de 2013 se visitaron quincenalmente tres plantaciones en los municipios de Cárdenas, Comalcalco y Teapa, para detectar insectos fitófagos. Resultados: Se identificaron cuatro especies de insectos pertenecientes a tres órdenes y tres familias: Cephaloleia sallei (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) asociada a H. psittacorum, Cephaloleia vicina (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) asociada a H. latisphata, Pentalonia sp. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) asociada a H. latisphata, y Telchin atymnius futilis (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) asociada a H. psittacorum, H. bihai y H. stricta. Limitaciones/implicaciones: Pentalonia sp. no se pudo registrar a nivel de especie. Para ello se sugiere un estudio que tome en cuenta áfidos de este género recolectados también en plantas de plátano (Musa spp.) y otras hospederas. Hallazgos/conclusiones: Fueron pocas las especies de insectos que se encontraron alimentándose o dañando heliconias cultivadas; sin embargo, se considera que estos insectos tienen potencial para afectar el cultivo o el producto destinado como flor de corte.

“…The designation of protected areas is one of the most effective ecological measures to conserve biodiversity and maintain ecosystem services [1]. More than 200,000 protected areas have been set up worldwide, covering 15.4% of the land and 7.5% of the ocean [2].…”

The management effectiveness of protected areas plays a key role in biodiversity and ecosystem services conservation. We evaluated the effectiveness of Qilian Mountain Nature Reserve (QMNR) in reducing human footprint (HF). Four dominant human activity factors, including population density, land use, road distribution, and night light, were incorporated for HF mapping. Comparisons of the HF value between inside and outside QMNR and its four functional zones were conducted. The results show that both the HF inside and outside of QMNR were increasing, but the difference between them was increasing, indicating partial management effectiveness. The north part of the central reserve has a good effect in reducing human impacts, while the effectiveness was poor at both ends of the reserve. The HF value of the most strictly managed core and buffer zones increased by 10.50 and 6.68%, respectively, for 2010–2020. The QMNR was effective in controlling population density and land use, but ineffective in reducing road construction, mining, and construction of hydropower facilities.

Efficacy and Cost of Trap–Bait Combinations for Capturing Rhynchophorus palmarum L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Ornamental Palm Polycultures

et al. 2017

Ornamental palms are an economically important component of international trade yet have recently experienced yield losses in Mexico due to red ring and bud rot diseases, which are spread by Rhynchophorus palmarum L. Considering that massive capture is a common strategy to control this pest and the cost of commercial traps and baits could be inaccessible for small farmers, an inexpensive trap-bait combination is desired. In this study, 16 trap-bait combinations for capturing R. palmarum were assessed in ornamental palm polycultures over the course of 1 year. An expensive yellow bucket trap combined with aggregation pheromone + insecticide + banana was compared with inexpensive, handmade trap-bait combinations. A total of 4712 weevils were collected in all traps, of which 52.7% were male and 47.3% female. The efficacy of the handmade trap made from a colorless polyethylene bottle and baited with banana + pineapple + sugarcane + sugarcane molasses was similar to that of the yellow bucket trap baited with aggregation pheromone + insecticide + banana. These two trap-bait combinations remained effective even when the R. palmarum population significantly decreased during the dry, warm season. The affordable handmade trap baited with food attractants and without insecticides was highly efficient in capturing R. palmarum and therefore represents an effective tool for monitoring weevil populations. As ornamental crops have recently gained greater economic importance in the studied region, the use of a novel and cheap trap-bait combination could offer great benefits to producers and form part of the integrated management of R. palmarum.
