Abstract

Se presenta un análisis de la diversidad de los escarabajos necrófilos en tres hábitats (bosque mesófilo, cafetal y cultivo de temporal) del Volcán Tacaná, Chiapas. Los datos se obtuvieron en dos periodos de muestreos en el año 2010, con la ayuda de necrotrampas cebadas con calamar y pescado. Se recolectaron un total de 907 individuos y 14 especies de la subfamilia Scarabaeinae. Los datos sugieren una estacionalidad entre los dos periodos de muestreo. El cafetal tuvo la mayor diversidad, mientras que el bosque mesófilo presentó la mayor biomasa, la mayor proporción de especies grandes, necrófagas y de estrategia rodadora. La similitud entre los sitios fue baja, aunque el cultivo y bosque mostraron una mayor afinidad. Los resultados podrían indicar que el cafetal no es un hábitat adecuado para ciertos grupos taxonómicos, lo cual conlleva a una pérdida de la biodiversidad del bosque mesófilo de montaña.
