RESUMENEl Parque Regional de la Cuenca Alta del Manzanares (PRCAM) es un área protegida del norte de Madrid. En el se han elegido ocho puntos representativos de sus ecosistemas y del uso del territorio. En estos puntos se han estudiado las comunidades de cuatro grupos de insectos: Colémbolos, Crisomélidos, Curculiónidos y Mariposas.El objetivo del estudio es valorar el estado de conservación de los ecosistemas del parque, y el grado de paralelismo de la información suministrada por los cuatro grupos de insectos sobre unas mismas áreas.Los resultados indican que los ecosistemas del Parque están muy alterados. El grado de deterioro es mayor en las zonas de menor altitud.Por otro lado las comunidades de estos cuatro grupos de insectos responden de formas distintas ante situaciones idénticas. De ello se deduce la importancia de tener en cuenta varios grupos de organismos a la hora de manejar o valorar la diversidad bioló-gica de un zona. Palabras clave: diversidad de insectos, conservación, manejo de áreas protegidas, Parque Regional de la Cuenca Alta del Manzanares. ABSTRACTThe insect communities in the Parque Regional de la Cuenca Alta del Manzanares (Central Spain): conservation status.The Parque Regional de la Cuenca Alta del Manzanares (PRCAM) is a protected area at the North of Madrid. Eight sampling sites were selected representing different ecosystems and land uses. In these sites we studied the communities of four insect groups: Collembolla, Chrysomelida, Curculionoidea and Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea.The objetive of the study was to assess the conservation status of the Park ecosystems and the paralelism of the results in these four insect groups.The results show that the Park ecosystems are heavily disturbed. The lowland areas being damaged to a greater extent.On the other hand the four groups have a different behaviour in similar conditions. This shows the importance of gathering information from different groups in order to assess or manage the biological diversity of an area.
