“…No obstante, en dichas zonas aún se pueden encontrar refugios de biodiversidad donde los hábitats y suelos están menos perturbados, los cuales por lo general se encuentran en zonas periféricas, parques, terrenos abandonados, entre otros (Taboada-Verona et al 2019). Los estudios faunísticos son importantes para documentar la ocurrencia de especies en estas áreas de interés (Hernández & Navarrete-Heredia 2018) y realizar evaluaciones posteriores ante posibles cambios en los ensambles de especies como resultado de la interacción con variables climáticas o impactos antrópicos (Navarrete & Halffter 2008a, Sánchez-de-Jesús et al 2016.…”

El Centro Ecológico y Recreativo El Zapotal (CEREZ) se caracteriza por presentar uno de los últimos remanentes de selva mediana en la región central de Chiapas, México. Sin embargo, el conocimiento de algunos grupos taxonómicos de la reserva no es del todo adecuado. En este trabajo se analiza la composición y estructura, así como la distribución temporal de los escarabajos coprófagos que habitan en el CEREZ. Se realizaron muestreos mensuales entre febrero de 2013 y enero de 2014 utilizando trampas de caída cebadas con estiércol de seis especies de mamíferos que se mantienen en cautiverio al interior del Zoológico Miguel Álvarez del Toro (ZooMAT). Se presenta una lista anotada de 22 especies agrupadas en 12 géneros y seis tribus de Scarabaeinae. Onthophagus anthracinus, Canthon femoralis, Onthophagus landolti y Copris laeviceps aportan el 89.7% de la abundancia total. La curva de rarefacción muestra una tendencia asintótica, con un 92% de completitud. La fauna capturada muestra una marcada distribución temporal (p < 0.01), observando los valores más altos de riqueza y abundancia durante los meses de la temporada lluviosa. Los registros representan el 7.53% de la diversidad conocida en México y el 18.2% de las especies reportadas en el estado de Chiapas. A pesar de representar un pequeño remanente de selva tropical y de la constante presión antrópica generada por la zona urbana, El Zapotal conserva una fauna de escarabajos coprófagos representativa a nivel regional, resaltando la importancia de la reserva como refugio de especies.

“…The composition, abundance, and diversity of beetles captured in A. tequilana fields were different from those found in sites with similar climatic conditions, but representing different land usage. For instance, 60% of the necrocolous beetle genera in a silvopastoral location in Los Altos, Jalisco region (Hernández and Navarrete-Heredia 2018), were represented by only one species. The A. tequilana fields were characterised by a low generic and tribal diversity, with 38% of the genera collected represented only by one species; and most of its specific diversity Number of genera 7 9 7 7 9 7 12 8 10 12 13 10 7 9 7 8 3 5…”

“…Samplings were conducted monthly, from May to November 2016, in nine preselected farms (three per municipality). In other studies on Mexican necrocolous beetles, these months were the most appropriate to do research on beetle assemblages (Hernández and Navarrete-Heredia 2018). This study took place in 2-4-year-old A. tequilana fields.…”

Diversity patterns of necrocolous beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Silphidae, Trogidae) inAgave tequilanaWeber (Asparagaceae) fields of different ages

The necrocolous Coleoptera (attracted to carrion) are important to maintain balance in insect communities and in the recycling of soil nutrients; however, there is scarce data on the species that occur inAgave tequilanaWeber (Asparagaceae) fields. The diversity patterns of beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Silphidae, and Trogidae) dwelling in 2–4-year-oldA. tequilanaplots were established by sampling specimens from May to November 2016. In total, 5509 individuals of 23 species were collected. The highest species diversity was found in Magdalena Municipality, followed by the Arandas and Tequila municipalities (Jalisco, Mexico), with significant differences in abundance among municipalities and crop age. The variability in Magdalena and Tequila assemblages was associated with the temperature, while in Arandas it was attributed to the precipitation. The beetle species diversity, species replacement, and dominance in different municipalities are the result of changes in habitat, the interaction of environmental variables, distribution affinities of species, and agronomic practices inA.tequilanafields.

“…Similarly, Morón et al (1985) cited Onthophagus nasicornis Harold, 1869 but the species is only known in central Mexico and, this record has not been corroborated in Chiapas. Onthophagus nitidior Bates, 1887 is distributed in the low deciduous and subdeciduous forests of the Mexican Central Pacific slope (Hernández and Navarrete-Heredia 2018), so that, the report by Palacios-Ríos et al (1990) on the Gulf of Mexico slope, is possibly incorrect record and corresponds to other species of the same group (hirculus species group) reported in Chiapas.…”

Natural Protected Areas (NPAs) are consider adequate tools for biodiversity conservation. Currently in Mexico there are 182 federal NPAs classified according to their management objectives. Chiapas is the Mexican state with the highest number of decreed NPAs and also allocates one of the largest territorial extensions for its protection. Unlike other taxa, and despite their proven ability to respond to ecosystem changes, the study of dung beetles within Mexican NPAs has been underestimated, as they are not considered as a priority group within their management and conservation programs. Based on the review of information available in publications and database on dung beetles, a list of 112 species and seven subspecies recorded in 16 of the 19 federal NPAs established in Chiapas is presented. The species recorded by each NPA show a significant correlation with the number of publications, but a low percentage of them correspond to studies with systematic samplings and most of the species reported in several of the NPAs come from sporadic records, which prevents the study of several basic and applied aspects of dung beetles in the region. Therefore, studies that extensively analyze the communities of arthropod groups, such as the Scarabaeinae, are necessary to understand their response to changes in the ecosystem at local and regional scale. It is advisable that these insects be included in the previous justifying studies for the designation or establishment of NPAs and, in turn, considered in the biological monitoring programs of these areas for their capacity as a bioindicator group.
