“…La disponibilidad de alimento, agua, nitrógeno y espacio son factores que favorecen el desempeño de los insectos epífitos, pues promueven la existencia de tamaños poblacionales grandes (Hambäck y Englund, org/10.22201/ib.20078706e.2022.93.3770 2005McCauley, 1991;Soberón, 1986). La densidad de especímenes y de machos de O. fultoni fue más baja en Zapotitlán que en el Pedregal (figs.…”

Se compararon 5 atributos poblacionales del grillo arborícola Oecanthus fultoni (estructura, densidad, abundancia, proporción sexual y densidad de machos) en 2 localidades del centro de México con matorral xerófilo. Se contaron directamente los ejemplares posados sobre las plantas y los machos adultos mediante detección auditiva. En Zapotitlán Salinas, Puebla se muestrearon los grillos en el día y en el Pedregal de San Ángel, Ciudad de México en la noche. La especie estuvo presente durante todo el año en ambos sitios y registró 5 estadios ninfales. La población de Zapotitlán fue multivoltina y la del Pedregal univoltina. La densidad promedio de grillos fue más alta en el Pedregal (652.0 ± 0.2 ind./ha) que en Zapotitlán (50.4 ± 0.2 ind./ha); la proporción sexual fue 1 macho:1.2 hembras en Zapotitlán, mientras que en el Pedregal fue de 6.1:1. En Zapotitlán se registró una densidad de machos significativamente menor (83.41 ± 5.3 ind./ha) en comparación con la del Pedregal (153.75 ± 9.1 ind./ha); en ambas localidades la densidad de machos estuvo correlacionada negativamente con los valores de precipitación acumulada mensual. Nuestros resultados resaltan la importancia de la estacionalidad en las variaciones poblacionales de los grillos.

“…Ecological theories and methods are commonly used in spatial epidemiology to design and interpret models of conditions where infections are likely to occur, with outputs projected to geography as measures of "suitability." Suitability has been defined as the "sum" of the effects of resource and environmental conditions on the fecundity, demography, and survivorship of populations (13). Ecological niche modeling has been the main branch of ecology employed to map disease transmission.…”

Most infectious diseases in animals are not distributed randomly. Instead, diseases in livestock and wildlife are predictable in terms of the geography, time, and species affected. Ecological niche modeling approaches have been crucial to the advancement of our understanding of diversity and diseases distributions. This contribution is an introductory overview to the field of distributional ecology, with emphasis on its application for spatial epidemiology. A new, revised modeling framework is proposed for more detailed and replicable models that account for both the biology of the disease to be modeled and the uncertainty of the data available. Considering that most disease systems need at least two organisms interacting (i.e., host and pathogen), biotic interactions lie at the core of the pathogen's ecological niche. As a result, neglecting interacting organisms in pathogen dynamics (e.g., maintenance, reproduction, and transmission) may limit efforts to forecast disease distributions in veterinary epidemiology. Although limitations of ecological niche modeling are noted, it is clear that the application and value of ecological niche modeling to epidemiology will increase in the future. Potential research lines include the examination of the effects of biotic variables on model performance, assessments of protocols for model calibration in disease systems, and new tools and metrics for robust model evaluation. Epidemiologists aiming to employ ecological niche modeling theory and methods to reconstruct and forecast epidemics should familiarize themselves with ecological literature and must consider multidisciplinary collaborations including veterinarians to develop biologically sound, statistically robust analyses. This review attempts to increase the use of tools from ecology in disease mapping.
