          Abstract

          Se estudió la abundancia, riqueza y diversidad de la fauna de Scarabaeoidea en el cerro Chacateca, Zapotitlán, Puebla. Se realizaron muestreos en la época de sequía y de lluvias, en 3 sitios ubicados en diferentes cotas altitudinales, con vegetación y textura de suelo particulares. Mediante el uso de necrotrampas, coprotrampas, trampas de fruta, trampas de luz y recolecta directa se registró un total de 1,300 individuos de 16 géneros y 25 especies. Se registraron cambios significativos en la abundancia y diversidad entre las 2 épocas de recolecta, encontrando mayor diversidad en la época de secas. La similitud de la comunidad de escarabajos entre épocas fue baja. La abundancia de los escarabajos copronecrófagos fue significativamente diferente entre sitios. El sitio de menor altitud mostró menor similitud en la composición de especies en relación con los sitios de mayor altitud. Los escarabajos fitófagos fueron analizados únicamente en los sitios con menor y mayor altitud, donde presentaron diferencias significativas en su abundancia y diversidad, además de una baja similitud en la composición de especies.

          Abundance, richness and diversity of Scarabaeoidea in the cerro Chacateca, Zapotitlán, Puebla was studied. Samples of beetles in the dry and rainy seasons in 3 sites with different altitude levels, particular vegetation and soil texture were collected. A total of 1,300 individuals belonging to 16 genera and 25 species were recorded, using traps for coprophagous, necrophagous, and phytophagous beetles and captured by hand. Significant changes in the abundance and diversity of beetles between the 2 collected seasons were recorded, finding greater diversity in the dry season. The similarity of the community of beetles between seasons was low. The abundance of copronecrophagous beetles was significantly different between sites. In the lower altitude site the similarity in species composition was significantly lower than in the sites with higher altitude. Only in the sites of lowest and highest altitude the phytophagous beetles were analyzed and we found that the communities have significant differences in their abundance and diversity and low similarity in species composition.
