          Abstract

          RESUMEN. En México fueron afectadas alrededor de 17,900 ha de bosques de coníferas en 2016 a causa de los brotes de insectos descortezadores. Se ha observado que el aumento en las temperaturas ocasionadas por el cambio climático afecta directamente a los bosques de pino y favorece el desarrollo de insectos plaga. Los gradientes altitudinales generan gradientes climáticos, por lo cual, son buenos modelos de estudio en un contexto de cambio climático. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el efecto de la temperatura y la abundancia de Dendroctonus frontalis y Dendroctonus mexicanus a lo largo del rango de distribución altitudinal, así como determinar un posible cambio en la abundancia para 2030 bajo un escenario de cambio climático. Los resultados evidenciaron que la mayor abundancia de D. frontalis y D. mexicanus se encuentra en altitudes entre los 1,589 y 1,716 msnm, donde ocurren temperaturas superiores a 16 °C, y en altitudes mayores a los 2,393 msnm la abundancia de ambas especies es menor, correspondiendo a temperaturas menores a 13°C. El escenario A1B de cambio climático predice que la temperatura aumentará del 2015-2016 al año 2030 3.9 °C en promedio.

          ABSTRACT. In Mexico, about 17,900 ha of coniferous forests were affected in 2016 because of outbreaks of bark beetles. The increase in temperatures caused by climate change has been observed that directly affect pine forests and favors the development of insect pests. Altitude gradients generate temperature gradients, which are good study models in a context of climate changes. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of temperature on the abundance of Dendroctonus frontalis and Dendrocotonus mexicanus throughout its altitudinal distribution range, as well as determine a possible future change in abundance by 2030 in a climate change scenario. The results showed the highest abundance of D. frontalis and D. mexicanus at altitudes between 1,589 to 1,716 masl, where temperatures were higher than 16 °C; however at altitudes upper than 2,393 masl, the abundance of both species were lower, corresponding to temperatures below 13 °C. The A1B climate change scenario predicted that the temperature will increase 3.9 °C from 2015-2016 to 2030.
