Abstract

Biological research in the low montane evergreen forests of Ecuador focuses on ecological and botanical aspects, while knowledge of the entomofauna of these areas is almost nil. In February 2022, sampling was carried out during the dry season for 15 days, using direct and indirect capture methods (tapping, sieving, and light traps) in two waterfalls of the low montane evergreen forest of the western Andean Cordillera: Chilicay and Suncamal waterfalls, with the objective of identifying the composition of the terrestrial insect fauna at the family level. Two orders and 21 families were recorded, among which the families Carabidae and Noctuidae represented the highest percentage of the total abundance. Although preliminary, this work constitutes the first contribution to the knowledge of the entomofauna of this ecosystem. Keywords: biodiversity, conservation, entomofauna, insects. Resumen Las investigaciones biológicas en los bosques siempreverdes montanos bajos de Ecuador, se centran en aspectos ecológicos y botánicos, mientras que el conocimiento de la entomofauna de estas zonas es escaso.

西安第斯山脉下山常绿森林的昆虫多样性:喀斯卡达和桑卡马
对厄瓜多尔低山地常绿森林的生物学研究侧重于生态和植物学方面,而对这些地区的昆虫动物群的了解几乎为零。2022年2月,在旱季对安第斯山脉西部低山地常绿森林的两个瀑布——Chilicay和Suncamal瀑布进行了为期15天的直接和间接捕获(轻拍、筛分和诱光器)取样,目的是在科水平上确定陆生昆虫区系的组成。共记录到2目21科,其中足足科和夜足科占总丰度的比例最高。虽然是初步的,但这项工作构成了对该生态系统昆虫区系知识的第一次贡献。关键词:生物多样性;保护;昆虫;Resumen& # x0D;关于厄瓜多尔山区昆虫的调查资料biológicas,关于厄瓜多尔山区昆虫的调查资料ecológicos,关于厄瓜多尔山区昆虫的调查资料botánicos,关于厄瓜多尔山区昆虫的调查资料。截至2022年2月,在 年2月15日(días),利用 年1月15日的 年1月15日(golpeteo, tamizado and trampas de luz),在安第斯山脉西部山脉的蒙特哈德斯山脉地区,在 年1月26日(cascasada Chilicay and Suncamal),在 年1月31日(composición),在 年1月31日(),在 年1月26日()。共登记了21个科(órdenes),共登记了3个科(3个科),共登记了1个科(1个科),代表了1个科(1个科)和2个科(1个科)。独特的自然形态初步形成,自然生态系统形成,自然生态系统形成,自然生态系统形成。 Palabras Clave:生物多样性,conservación,昆虫动物,昆虫。
