Escolítidos (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) asociados al agroecosistema cacao en Tabasco, México

Abstract: -The Scolytidae fauna associated to the cacao agroecosystem in Tabasco, Mexico was studied during 2007. Adult insects were captured by using ethanol and light traps, and by direct collecting in their host plants. 3,192 specimens of 34 species belonging to 18 genera of Scolytidae were collected. Twenty-two species are new records for the State of Tabasco. The genera with more species were Xyleborus (6) and Hypothenemus (6). We conclude that the Scolytidae fauna associated to the cacao agroecosystem captured wi… Show more

“…Hypothenemus is, as is shown in this study, usually one of the more abundant genera in trap samples (Fletchmann et al 2000;P erez de la Cruz et al 2009). H. eruditus, probably the main species in this species group, is myelophagous, that is, it feeds on the pith of small stems (Wood 1982); a high incidence of this species in traps may thus indicate the presence of large quantities of sawn logs in the farm (Flechtmann et al 1999b).…”

“…Así mismo, Iturre & Darchuck (1996) reportan a Hypothenemus y Xyleborus como los géneros más abundantes en especies asociadas a plantaciones de Eucalyptus en Santiago del Estero Argentina. Estos resultados se deben principalmente a que ambos géneros son de amplia distribución con alta tasa reproductiva, abundantes, y para los que la mayor diversidad de especies se ha registrado en regiones tropicales y subtropicales del mundo (Pérez-De la Cruz et al, 2009b).…”

“…Al igual que el género Xyleborus, la mayoría de las especies de Corthylus tienen una distribución tropical y muy pocas especies son consideradas plagas; sin embargo, algunas pueden causar la muerte o debilitamiento de ramas de perales, tejocote, manzano y membrillo (Bustamante & Atkinson, 1984). La especie C. papulans ha sido reportada como la más abundante en este estudio con 2 509 especímenes (35.55 %), así como, en el agroecosistema cacao en Tabasco (Pérez-De la Cruz et al, 2009b). Las altas poblaciones reportadas podrían estar dadas por la disponibilidad de los recursos vegetales y las condiciones ambientales que han permitido que se haya adaptado y sea una especie dominante (Estrada-Pérez, Pérez-De La Cruz, & Hernández-May, 2012).…”
