“…Recently, Elías-Gutiérrez et al (2018) demonstrated the usefulness of light traps and DNA barcoding to establish a baseline for the zooplankton in several lakes from Mexico and Canada. Based on this and other experiences, we consider that a combination of potentially complementary sampling gears will provide a more comprehensive picture of the species dwelling in a particular region or habitat (Vásquez-Yeomans et al, 2011;Martínez-Luque et al, 2016;Marrero et al, 2008).…”

This study is the first faunistic inventory of a zooplankton community from an open, karstic and oligotrophic aquatic sinkhole in the south of the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico), we describe the richness of the zooplankton collected with the combination of plankton nets and light traps of our own design, using morphological and molecular characters to identify the species and demonstrate the effectiveness of only one set of primers to sequence all taxa. Recently, it has been demonstrated that different sampling methods can increase the number of zooplankton species from tropical and temperate systems dramatically. These more effective methods together with DNA barcoding can give a new and more realistic picture of the species dwelling in a freshwater system. In total, we sequenced 268 specimens, and the list of species known in this sinkhole increased from 13 to 77 taxa, with a projection of 87 in total, including cladocerans, copepods, ostracods, fish larvae, tadpoles, rotifers, chironomids, water mites, among others. From the 77 taxa identified by us, 72 BINS (Barcode Index Numbers, equivalent to putative species) were assigned by the BOLD Database (boldsystems.org), and 30 of them are new records for both, BOLD and GenBank (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). There was an essential difference in the number of taxa collected with the plankton nets and the light traps. Only 23 taxa were registered in the nets, representing between 28 and 29% of the total richness, while 67 were present in the light traps representing 87% of the species found. From these, 46 taxa were exclusive to this sampling method. Light traps are an effective method for rapid evaluation of zooplankton. In the future, combining DNA barcoding and high-throughput sequencing methods with more efficient collecting will enable us to perform quick and precise biomonitoring of any aquatic ecosystem, enabling the detection of changes in zooplankton composition resulting from climate change and anthropogenic disturbances. Nevertheless, as a first step it is fundamental to establish a baseline of DNA barcodes for the species in these ecosystems.

“…La familia Elateridae es un grupo de escarabajos reconocidos a lo largo de México, por diferentes nombres comunes, como: cucuy, copechi, tahuinche, churupetes, tronadores, quiebrapalitos, saltapericos, martillitos o saltadores (Zurita-García et al, 2014;Zaragoza-Caballero et al, 2016). Los hábitos alimenticios que presenta esta familia son igual de diversos que el número de especies descritas, aunque se pueden destacar a las especies xilófagas y rizófagas que pueden ser de importancia agrícola (Zurita-García et al, 2014;Martínez-Luque et al, 2016). El conocimiento de los elatéridos (Elateridae) en México actualmente registra nueve subfamilias, 29 tribus, 15 subtribus, 75 géneros y 514 especies (actualizado de Martínez-Luque et al, 2016).…”

“…En esta primera revisión de los elatéridos michoacanos se documentaron cinco subfamilias, 11 tribus, 22 géneros y 40 especies, lo que equivale a poco más del 29% (N=75) de los géneros y al 7.7 % (N=514) de especies citadas para el país (modificado de Martínez-Luque et al, 2016). Esto ubica al estado de Michoacán en el quinto lugar nacional, dejando en cuarta posición al estado de Morelos con 22 géneros y 42 especies (Zaragoza-Caballero et al, 2019); en tercera posición al estado de Jalisco con 25 géneros y 46 especies (Martínez-Luque et al, 2016); en segunda posición al estado de Guerrero con 24 géneros y 62 especies (Zurita-García & Martínez-Luque, 2015); y en primera posición al estado de Sonora con 26 géneros y 63 especies (Johnson, 2018). Cabe señalar que estos estados cuentan con una historia entomológica más larga, ya que su entomofauna ha sido colectada y estudiada desde el siglo XIX, y en algunos de esos estados incluso se ha logrado elaborar estudios intensivos en las últimas tres décadas, tanto por entomólogos nacionales como extranjeros.…”

It represents the first contribution to the knowledge of the Elateridae family present in the state of Michoacán, Mexico. This contribution triples the number of species registered in the entity, which are classified into five subfamilies, 11 tribes, two subtribes, 22 genera and 40 species. Within these species, 28 new state records, a possible new species and the location of three endemic species can be highlighted.

Coleopterans are the most diverse animal group on Earth and constitute good indicators of environmental change. However, little information is available about Coleopteran communities’ responses to disturbance and land-use change. Tropical dry forests have undergone especially extensive anthropogenic impacts in the past decades. This has led to mosaic landscapes consisting of areas of primary forest surrounded by pastures, agricultural fields and secondary forests, which negatively impacts many taxonomic groups. However, such impacts have not been assessed for most arthropod groups. In this work, we compared the abundance, richness and diversity of Coleopteran morphospecies in four different successional stages in a tropical dry forest in western Mexico, to answer the question: How do Coleopteran assemblages associate with vegetation change over the course of forest succession? In addition, we assessed the family composition and trophic guilds for the four successional stages. We found 971 Coleopterans belonging to 107 morphospecies distributed in 28 families. Coleopteran abundance and richness were greatest for pastures than for latter successional stages, and the most abundant family was Chrysomelidae, with 29% of the individuals. Herbivores were the most abundant guild, accounting for 57% of the individuals, followed by predators (22%) and saprophages (21%) beetles. Given the high diversity and richness found throughout the successional chronosequence of the studied tropical dry forest, in order to have the maximum number of species associated with tropical dry forests, large tracts of forest should be preserved so that successional dynamics are able to occur naturally.
