摘要:The structures of Ichneumonidae communities in a mangrove area and two nearby locations with different vegetation types are described. The study area is located within the limits of the Nearctic and Neotropical regions at the southern of the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Samples were collected with a Malaise trap at each site over a one-year period. The potential species richness was determined using the Clench model. The diversity was determined by Simpson and Shannon-Wiener indexes, and the possible differences among the communities at different sites were established using PERMANOVA multivariate analysis. The relative degrees of influence of the space, time and biogeographic affinity variables on the community structures of these wasps were determined using multiple correspondence analysis. The data showed that the mangrove area, has the greatest potential species richness. There were significant differences among the three communities of ichneumonids. The community structures depend primarily on the biogeographical preferences of each species and secondarily on climate conditions throughout the year, whereas the structures were almost independent of vegetation. Four species obtained in this study are new records for Mexico, and five in the State of Tamaulipas.
其他摘要:The structure of Ichneumonidae communities in a mangrove area and 2 nearby locations with different vegetation types are described. The study area is located within the limits of the Nearctic and Neotropical regions in the southern part of the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Samples were collected with a Malaise trap at each site over a one-year period. We estimated the potential species richness with the Clench model, the Simpson and Shannon-Wiener diversity indexes and the possible differences among communities at different sites using Permanova multivariate analysis. The relative degrees of influence of space, time, and biogeographical distribution on the community structures of ichneumonid wasps were determined using multiple correspondence analyses. Our results showed that the mangrove area had the highest potential species richness, and that there were significant differences among the 3 ichneumonid communities. The community structures depend primarily on the biogeographical distribution of species and secondarily on the month of collection, whereas the type of vegetation contributed with lower variation. Three species obtained in this study are new records for Mexico, and 5 for Tamaulipas.
