          Abstract

          Se estudió la entomofauna acuática de cuatro quebradas de la cuenca del río San Juan en el departamento del Chocó (Colombia). Entre febrero y julio de 2007 se recolectaron 2.377 especímenes distribuidos en nueve órdenes, 35 familias y 52 géneros. El orden Ephemeroptera fue el más representativo en términos de abundancia (61,09 %) y de riqueza (11 géneros), seguido de Coleoptera (13,38 %), con 12 géneros. El índice de diversidad de Shannon-Weaver, de 2,95 bits/ind, así como la riqueza total de géneros (52) encontrada en las quebradas, demuestran su gran diversidad, con diferencias significativas entre ellas, pero no en cuanto a los meses de muestreo. De acuerdo con el índice de Jaccard, basado en la presencia de diferentes géneros identificados, se observó que las quebradas Profundo y Colorado presentaron mucha similitud (0,65), mientras que el mayor valor de disimilitud lo presentó la quebrada San Francisco (0,48). Los parámetros físicos y químicos estaban dentro de los rangos normales y presentaron poca variación, lo que indica que las quebradas tienen buenas condiciones ecológicas para el establecimiento de una comunidad acuática diversa.

          The aquatic entomofauna of four streams of the San Juan river in the department of Chocó (Colombia) was studied. Between February and July 2007, 2,377 specimens belonging to nine orders, 35 families and 52 genera were collected. The order Ephemeroptera was the most representative in terms of abundance (61.09%) and biological richness (11 genera), followed by the order Coleoptera (13.38%). A Shannon-Weaver diversity index of 2.95 and the total number of genera found in the streams showed their high diversity; we found significant differences between them, but not between sampling months. According to the Jaccard index based on the presence of different identified genera, we observed that the Profundo and Colorado streams had high similarity (0.65), while the highest value of dissimilarity was found in the San Francisco stream (0.48). The physical and chemical parameters were within normal ranges and showed little variation, indicating that the streams have good ecological conditions for the establishment of a diverse aquatic community.
