          Abstract

          RESUMEN El estudio de la araneofauna en las Yungas argentinas es escaso. Sin embargo, es relevante debido a la alta diversidad ambiental y biológica que posee esta ecorregión, principalmente en los sistemas forestales amenazados por el avance de la frontera agropecuaria. El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar la diversidad y la composición de los ensambles de arañas epigeas en la Selva Pedemontana (SP), Selva Montana (SM) y Bosque Montano (BM) de las Yungas de la provincia de Salta. Se tomaron muestras mediante trampas de caída durante el otoño, la primavera 2006 y el verano 2007 en tres sitios de la SP, cinco en la SM, y tres en el BM. Se recolectaron 643 arañas pertenecientes a 75 especies/morfoespecies. Los ensambles de SP reportaron la mayor riqueza de especies sumado a una composición de especies muy disímil en relación con las de SM y BM. Las tejedoras espaciales, otras cazadoras y cazadoras de suelo representaron más del 95 % de la abundancia en cada comunidad. Ellas mostraron patrones semejantes de abundancia en la SM y BM, mientras que en la SP las tejedoras espaciales redujeron marcadamente su abundancia. El cambio en la configuración del paisaje debido al uso del suelo es la principal fuerza que estaría estructurando los ensambles locales de la SP. Este estudio constituye el primero en analizar la diversidad de arañas epigeas y sus gremios en las Yungas del norte argentino siendo un punto de partida para futuros monitoreos de biodiversidad en la región.

          ABSTRACT The study of the arachnofauna in the argentinean Yungas is scarce. However, it is relevant due to the high environmental and biological diversity, mainly in the forest systems threatened by the advance of the agricultural frontier. The aim of this work is to compare the diversity and composition of epigeal spider assemblages in the Piedmont Forest (SP), Mountain Jungle (SM) and Mountain Forest (BM) of the Yungas in the province of Salta. Three sites of the SP and BM, and five of the SM were considered. Sampling was carried out during autumn, spring (2006) and summer (2007) with pitfall traps. A total of 643 spiders of 75 species/morphospecies were collected. The SP sites showed the highest species richness and species composition very dissimilar compared to the SM and BM. The space web weavers, other hunters and ground hunters accounted for more than 95 % of the abundance in each community considered. They showed similar patterns of abundance in SM and BM, while in SP the space web weavers markedly reduced their abundance. The change in the landscape configuration due to the land use is the main forces that would be structuring the local assemblages of the SP. This study is the first to analyze the epigeal spiders diversity and their guilds in the Yungas of the argentine north, being a starting point for future monitoring of biodiversity in the region.

            Neutral macroecology.

            G. Bell (2001)
            The central themes of community ecology-distribution, abundance, and diversity-display strongly marked and very general patterns. These include the log-normal distribution of abundance, the relation between range and abundance, the species-area law, and the turnover of species composition. Each pattern is the subject of a large literature that interprets it in terms of ecological processes, typically involving the sorting of differently specialized species onto heterogeneous landscapes. All of these patterns can be shown to arise, however, from neutral community models in which all individuals have identical properties, as the consequence of local dispersal alone. This implies, at the least, that functional interpretations of these patterns must be reevaluated. More fundamentally, neutral community models provide a general theory for biodiversity and conservation biology capable of predicting the fundamental processes and patterns of community ecology.
