Insects associated with Victoria Tamaulipas’ submontane scrub

We conducted a study in a submontane scrub area of Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, collecting insects in quadrants of 100 m2 with a net and striking. During the study period (February 2008 to January 2009) 9228 specimens belonging to 14 orders were collected, being the Hemiptera, Coleoptera and the Dip...

Durante el periodo de estudio (febrero 2008 a enero 2009) se colectaron 9228 ejemplares pertenecientes a 14 órdenes, siendo los de mayor abundancia Hemiptera, Coleoptera y Diptera, con 44.23 %, 24.47 % y 9.78 %, respectivamente, en tanto que el orden Odonata fue el menos abundante, con un 0.01 %. El sitio con mayor abundancia y densidad fue el que correspondió a la vegetación perturbada, con 5413 individuos y 0.6766 insectos por m2. Durante los meses del otoño ocurrió la mayor incidencia de insectos, colectándose 3942 ejemplares, con una densidad de 0.657 individuos por m2. Existieron diferencias estadísticas entre tipos de vegetación y temporadas del año; la estacionalidad y el alimento disponible para los insectos fueron determinantes para regular su abundancia y densidad Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas 2011-05-31 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistaciencia.uat.edu.mx/index.php/CienciaUAT/article/view/82 CienciaUAT; Vol. 5 No. 4: April-June 2011; 20-25 CienciaUAT; Vol. 5 No. 4: Abril-Junio 2011; 20-25 2007-7858 2007-7521 eng https://revistaciencia.uat.edu.mx/index.php/CienciaUAT/article/view/82/70
