[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] RESUMEN. El presente estudio se desarrolló en el Cañón de la Peregrina, municipio de Victoria, Tamaulipas. El objetivo fue determinar la fauna de Galerucinae presente en la zona, además de analizar la variación altitudinal y estacional del grupo. Se realizaron 240 muestreos, donde se registraron 1,828 ejemplares distribuidos en 76 especies y 38 géneros. Se encontró que la abundancia disminuye y la diversidad aumenta conforme se incrementa el gradiente elevacional. La mayor riqueza se presentó en el matorral espinoso tamaulipeco. Invierno es la estación con mayor número de ejemplares; primavera registró el mayor número de especies, mientras que la diversidad fue mayor en verano. La escasa similitud existente entre sitios y estaciones sugiere un elevado recambio de especies. Palabras clave: Galerucinae, riqueza de especies, abundancia, diversidad Galerucinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) from Peregrina Canyon, Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico ABSTRACT. The present study was conducted in the Peregrina Canyon, municipality of Victoria, Tamaulipas. The objectives were to determine the Galerucinae fauna present in the area, and analyze the altitudinal and seasonal variation of the group. A total of 1,828 specimens were collected.

Se presentan datos de plantas hospederas de la literatura, si existen, para los taxa de escarabajos incluidos. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in relationships between tropi- cal plants and insects. The interest is driven by the related agendas of studying them for their intrinsic scientific interest, and protecting tropical biodiversity through find- ing practical and non-destructive ways to use it. The latter agenda is exemplified by the biochemical prospecting programs recently started in several areas of the world (Reid et al.

  • Condition of Dry Ephemeral and Intermittent Streams
    Assessing the biological CWR condition of dry SC P ephemeral and Es 9 intermittent streams tablished 196 Raphael D. Mazor John Olson Matthew Robison Andrew Caudillo Jeff Brown SCCWRP Technical Report #1089 Assessing the biological condition of dry ephemeral and intermittent streams Raphael D. Mazor1, John Olson2, Matthew Robison2, Andrew Caudillo2, and Jeff Brown1 1Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, Costa Mesa, CA 2California State University at Monterey Bay, Seaside, CA September 2019 Technical Report 1089 This report was prepared for the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Intermittent and ephemeral streams comprise a large portion of stream-miles in the San Diego region, yet tools to assess stream health have so far only been available for perennial and long- term intermittent streams, meaning that watershed assessments are incomplete — in some watersheds, substantially so. Managers therefore have only a limited ability to assess the effectiveness of their programs. Consequently, nonperennial streams, especially ephemeral streams, are often excluded from regulatory and management programs. To address this gap, researchers at the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) and California State University at Monterey Bay (CSUMB) have developed new assessment tools to assess the ecological condition of intermittent and ephemeral streams when they are dry. Although these tools require additional refinement with larger data sets than are currently available, they demonstrate the feasibility of quantitative ecological assessments that transcend hydrologic gradients. Biological indicators can quantify responses to stress in dry streams SCCWRP and CSUMB developed new bioassessment indices for dry streams that follow the successful approaches used in perennial and intermittent streams, such as the California Stream Condition Index (CSCI).

In the present study, we estimated species richness and diversity in oak-pine forest, Tamaulipan thorny scrub and in tropical deciduous forests in Peregrina Canyon within the Altas Cumbres Protected Area of the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Sampling of Chrysomelidae consisted of five sweep net samples (200 net sweeps) within each of three sites during four sample periods: early dry season, late dry season, early wet season, and late wet season.

Furth National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., USA Abstract. The current state of knowledge of the diversity for Alticinae recorded from Mexico is taken from the histori- cal literature, determined specimens primarily in the U.S. National Museum, including material collected by the author, as well as from several other institutions. An Appendix is provided containing a list of generic and specific names re- corded from Mexico, including the known distribution for each species by Mexican state and the source for that infor- mation. There are 89 genera and 524 species currently known from Mexico. Although preliminary, this is a significant increase from the published literature. The Alticinae species diversity per Mexican state is also provided. Some discus- sion of the Mexican Alticinae biogeographic affinities is given. The following changes in status are made: Syphrea bibi- ana Bechyné = Nesaecrepida infúscala (Schaeffer); Palaeothona Jacoby is raised from synonymy with Lupraea Jacoby and considered valid; Varicoxa Bechyné = Luperaltica Crotch; Kitschelina gracilis Jacoby is raised from synonymy with K. laeta (Perbosc) and considered valid; Aphthona dimidiaticornis Jacoby, A. fulvipennis Jacoby, A. maculipennis Jacoby, A. mexicana (Jacoby), A. pallipes (Jacoby), A. semipunctata Jacoby, and A. substriata Jacoby are all considered to be in Centralaphthona Bechyné; Aphthona amulensis Jacoby = Genaphthona Bechyné; Aphthonajulvitarsis Jacoby = Gioia Bechyné; A. championi Jacoby = Lupraea.
