“…For example, the locality of Cerro El Diente includes an elevation range from 400 to 1200 masl, but in our study only four sites were sampled at this area. It is possible that a more stepped sampling design might result in consistent patterns of species richness, abundance and diversity, as observed in other studies conducted exclusively at this locality ( Meléndez-Jaramillo et al 2015 , Sánchez-Reyes et al 2015a ). However, we suggest that the insular nature of Sierra de San Carlos, its geomorphic properties, and the lack of connectivity between elevational sampling sites in different localities, could be the main drivers of results here obtained, because these factors have been recognized as key determinants of biodiversity patterns within elevational gradients ( Bertuzzo et al 2016 ).…”

“…Despite its biological interest, the only known studies from this area have focused on vegetation ( Martínez 1998 , Briones-Villarreal 1991 ), and only a few groups of insects ( Meléndez-Jaramillo et al 2014 , 2015 ). Also, preliminary faunistic and ecological research on Chrysomelidae has been conducted there, showing interesting patterns and new species distributions ( Sánchez-Reyes et al 2015a ).…”

The study of biodiversity of Chrysomelidae in Mexico and its variation within ecological gradients has increased recently, although important areas in the country remain to be explored. We conducted a faunistic inventory and analyzed the elevational and temporal variation of leaf beetle communities in the Sierra de San Carlos, in the state of Tamaulipas, in northeastern Mexico. This is an area with high to extreme priority for conservation, and due to its insular geographical position and to the vegetational communities present, it must be considered as a sky island. We selected seven sample sites distributed in different elevations within three localities, and comprising different vegetational communities. At each site, we randomly delimited 12 sample plots of 400 m2 where sampling was conducted by entomological sweep netting and collecting directly by hand. Sampling was conducted monthly at each plot, for a total of 1,008 samples between February 2013 and January 2014. By the end of the study, we had obtained a total of 3,081 specimens belonging to six subfamilies, 65 genera, and 113 species, with Trichaltica scabricula (Crotch, 1873) being recorded for first time in Mexico. Species richness was less than the values observed at other studies conducted in the same region, which is attributed to differences in the number of plant species and to the insular location of Sierra de San Carlos; however, the higher diversity values suggest a higher quality of natural resources and vegetational communities. No consistent pattern of leaf beetle communities was correlated with elevation, although higher values of species richness and diversity were obtained at the highest elevation site. The seasonal gradient showed that the rainy season is most favorable for leaf beetle communities. We found that species composition was different between sites and months, and also that there exists a significant association between the abundance obtained at each site and particular months. These results highlight the importance of different microhabitats for species distribution, and suggest that each species of Chrysomelidae has a differential response to environmental factors that vary within the elevational gradient and according to seasons. Also, we confirm and emphasize the important status of Sierra de San Carlos as a key natural area for biological conservation.

“…There are a growing number of reports on the species richness and diversity pattern of the Cassidinae beetle community, especially in Central and South America (Flowers and Hanson 2003, Wa̧sowska 2004, Freund 2004, Andrews and Gilbert 2005, Şen and Gök 2009, Şen and Gök 2014, Flinte et al 2011, Flinte et al 2009b, Staines 2011, Fernandes and Linzmeier 2012, Linzmeier and Ribeiro-Costa 2012, Sánchez-Reyes et al 2019, Sánchez-Reyes et al 2015, Ścibior et al 2014, Ordóñez-Reséndiz et al 2015, Magdalena et al 2018, Niño-Maldonado et al 2014, Niño-Maldonado et al 2016, Flinte et al 2009a, Simões and Monné 2011). However, no detailed community composition of Cassidinae beetles in China has been published.…”

There are few reports on the community composition and diversity pattern of the Cassidinae species of China. Compared to the neighbouring provinces of Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang, the Cassidinae richness in Jiangxi Province is under-reported. Longnan City, a biodiversity hotspot in Jiangxi Province, was chosen to obtain the first overview of the Cassidinae beetles. The sample coverage curves for the three sample sites reached an asymptote which indicated sampling was sufficient for data analysis. A total of eight tribes, 16 genera, 59 species and 1590 individuals of Cassidinae beetles were collected. Most belonged to the tribe Hispini (1121 individuals; 70.5%), followed by the tribe Cassidini (161 individuals; 10.13%) and the tribe Oncocephalini (159 individuals; 10.0%). The remainder (149 individuals) belonged to five tribes (Gonophorini, Basiprionotini, Callispini, Notosacanthini and Aspidimorphini). The tribes Notosacanthini, Aspidimorphini and Oncocephalini were newly recorded for Jiangxi Province. There were 14 families, 27 genera and 39 species of host plants of Cassidinae beetles in Longnan County. Cassidinae larvae mainly feed on the plant families Poaceae, Rosaceae, Lamiaceae and Rubiaceae. Most host-plant associations are new reords for the beetle species. This research, together with our planned future work in China, may help to explain the geographical distribution, diversity patterns and host plant associations of these beetles.

“…This high abundance is correlated with the food availability and the seasonality of the TDF, considering that leaf beetles are phytophagous. Moreover, one reason for this response is that during these months the ecological factors in the TDF are favorable for leaf beetles (Sánchez-Reyes et al 2015).…”

This is the first study of the composition of leaf beetles attracted to light in Mexico. We analyze the richness, temporal abundance and similarity between four localities of tropical dry forest in Sierra de San Javier, Sonora. A total of 3217 individuals belonging to 45 morphospecies, 31 genera and 10 tribes within five subfamilies of Chrysomelidae were collected in light traps in the tropical dry forest of Sierra de San Javier, Sonora. Galerucinae was the subfamily with the greatest number of genera and species. The genera with the highest number of species were Pachybrachis Chevrolat and Alagoasa Bechyné. Eight genera were represented by two species and 21 genera by only one species. Metrioidea rugipennis (Blake) was the species with the highest number of individuals (80% of the abundance recorded). According to the taxonomic and species similarity analysis, the sites San Javier and La Barranca had the highest similarity, while the lowest values were recorded at Rancho Las Peñitas and Cañón de Lo de Campa. The low similarity between sites cannot be explained by the geographic distance since it was not a determining factor to explain the low similarity in Sierra de San Javier.
