“…In Mexico, studies on TDF have shown seasonal changes in the composition and structure of different insect communities (De la Maza, 2010; Zaragoza-Caballero et al, 2010). For example, in the case of the TDF located in the south of the state Morelos (central Mexico), studies show that the composition, abundance and species richness of several insect communities change between the dry and rainy seasons (Noguera et al, 2002; Zaragoza-Caballero, 2003; Rodríguez & Woolley, 2005; Ávalos, 2007; Corona-López et al, 2013; Toledo-Hernández et al., 2015; Corona-López et al, 2017).…”

Global climate change is expected to affect temperature and precipitation patterns worldwide, which in turn is likely to affect insect phenology, distribution and diversity. To improve our understanding of such processes, it is important to understand how insects may respond to changes in seasonality, and how these affect their activity, patterns of distribution and species richness. The tropical dry forest (TDF) is a highly seasonal ecosystem, for which two seasons are commonly described (rainy and dry) and there is a lack of information on the combined effect of both precipitation and temperature on the insect communities. In order to evaluate the seasonal patterns in the community of Cerambycidae in a TDF, historical climatic variables were obtained, and an annual sampling of the family was carried out, using three collection techniques. We found that the Cerambycidae family showed a more complex response to climate, than simply the rainy and dry season of the year. The relationship between diversity and composition of cerambycids with changes in temperature and precipitation showed four seasonal communities which were synchronized with phenological processes of the TDF. Climate change could reduce biodiversity, causing seasonal patterns to lose complexity, either because the climatic characteristics of a season disappear and/or because the duration of a season expands, these changes will modify the ecological processes of the TDF, since they would generate changes in the flora and fauna associated with the different seasons.

“…These localities were collected as the same way as San Javier, Sonora, for periods of 1 year with monthly collecting for 5 days each, each with 6 Malaise traps per month. The number of species recorded in San Javier (52 species), was lower than the number of species recorded in the region of Huautla (82 species), (Rodríguez-Velez and Woolley, 2005) and higher than Huatulco (17 species) (Rodríguez-Velez et al, 2009).…”

Results of a faunistic study of the Encyrtidae family (parasitoid wasps) of the tropical dry forest of San Javier, Sonora, Mexico are presented. The study was carried out from November 2003 to October 2004. Collections using Malaise trapping were made during 5 days of every month. A total of 52 species, 27 genera and 2 subfamilies were recorded. The subfamily with the largest number of recorded species was Encyrtinae, with 19 genera and 32 species, followed by Tetracneminae, with 8 genera and 20 species. The genus with the largest number of recorded species was Metaphycus with 10. Species richness was analyzed using parametric models; the best-fitting model was the Logarithmic, which is unbounded. Species had low abundance. Species richness and abundance varied with time, with the highest values recorded in the dry season. The fauna of San Javier was more similar to that of Huautla, Morelos, than to that of Huatulco, Oaxaca, both previously studied.

“…De manera general, la riqueza de especies y la abundancia no tuvieron diferencias entre temporadas, sin embargo, a través de los meses del año fue variable, alcanzando sus valores máximos en los meses de lluvias. Es conocido que la mayor precipitación favorece la abundancia y riqueza de avispas depredadoras al incrementarse los recursos utilizados en su dieta pedotrófica y alimenticia (Horta et al, 2007(Horta et al, , 2009Rodríguez-Parilli y De Almeida, 2010;Rodríguez-Vélez et al, 2011), el alto número de individuos y especies en los meses de lluvias puede deberse también a que es la época de reproducción de la mayoría de las especies de insectos (Nogueira et al, 2006). La baja similitud en la composición de especies entre épocas indica alto recambio de especies por lo que no todas las especies están en la misma época del año.…”

“…En los tipos de vegetación fueron colocadas 8 trampas Malaise, trampas comúnmente usadas en otros estudios de himenópteros y consideradas como un buen método pasivo basado en la intercepción del vuelo (González-Oreja et al, 2003;Horta et al, 2007Horta et al, , 2009Noyes, 1989;Nuez et al, 2003;Rodríguez-Vélez et al, 2011). La recolecta de avispas se realizó en las 2 selvas, estableciendo 4 áreas de 1,000 m 2 cada una, considerando vegetación conservada y en sucesión, para recolectar el mayor número de especies.…”

ResumenLas avispas depredadoras o cazadoras son importantes en los ecosistemas ya que regulan las poblaciones de otros insectos y arañas. En este trabajo se determinó la diversidad espacial y temporal de avispas depredadoras en los 2 tipos de vegetación principales del estado de Yucatán: selva baja caducifolia y selva mediana subcaducifolia. El material revisado proviene de trampas Malaise colocadas en áreas de los tipos de vegetación, que estuvieron activas 1 año y de recolectas con red aérea. Se revisaron 877 individuos pertenecientes a 4 familias de avispas depredadoras (Crabronidae, Pompilidae, Sphecidae y Vespidae), se identificaron 68 especies, siendo Crabronidae la familia con mayor riqueza (26) y Pompilidae la de mayor abundancia (458 individuos). En la selva baja caducifolia se encontró mayor abundancia y riqueza de especies (86% y 91%, respectivamente) que en la selva mediana subcaducifolia (48% y 13%). No hubo diferencias en la riqueza de especies y la abundancia entre temporadas del año, pero la composición de especies tuvo baja similitud. Se encontraron 10 nuevos registros de especies para Yucatán. Se sugieren otros estudios de estas avispas en el neotrópico, en especial en México, y se indica la importancia de su biodiversidad en los ecosistemas estudiados para su conservación y posible uso. AbstractPredatory wasps or hunters are important in ecosystems because they regulate the populations of other insects and spiders. In the state of Yucatán, these insects have been studied very little and in this work, their spatial and temporal diversity was determined in the 2 main vegetation types of Yucatán, low deciduous forest and the medium subcaducifolia forest. The material reviewed comes from Malaise traps placed in areas of vegetation types, which were active one year and from collections with aerial networks. We reviewed 877 individuals belonging to 4 families of predatory wasps (Crabronidae, Pompilidae, Sphecidae and Vespidae), 68 species were identified, being Crabronidae the richest family (26) and Pompilidae the most abundant (458 individuals). In the low deciduous forest, the highest abundance and species richness was found (86% and 91%, respectively) than in the medium subcaducifolia forest (48% and 13%). There were no differences in species richness and abundance between seasons of the year but the composition of species had low similarity. Ten new species records were found for Yucatán. Other studies of these wasps are suggested in the neotropics, especially in Mexico, and the importance of their biodiversity in the studied ecosystems is indicated for their conservation and possible use.
