Abstract
Abstract This study examined the flight activity of adult caddisflies (order Trichoptera) in a pine-oak forest in México. Specimens were collected near the locality of Puente de los Trabajos, Sierra de Juárez, Oaxaca State using blacklight traps during four nights between 28 October and 13 November 2015. A total of 1117 specimens were collected, belonging to 10 families, 18 genera, and 28 species. Limnephilus tulatus Denning, 1962, Polycentropus casicus Denning and Sykora, 1966 and the genus Mayatrichia Mosely, 1937 are recorded for the first time from Oaxaca State. Activity and species diversity peaked between 18:00 and 19:30 h. More than 90% of all species observed had been recorded by 00:30 h, and 100% by 05:30 h. Abundance and species richness were significantly correlated with temperature and relative humidity. We found that the seasonal activity of Ochrotrichia yavesia Bueno-Soria and Holzenthal, 2004, increases in late October. Environmental variables as precipitation, wind speed and direction should also be considered, and additional sampling in different seasons of the year in other localities with different environmental conditions is also recommended.
期刊介绍:
Aquatic Insects is an international journal publishing original research on the systematics, biology, and ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects.
The subject of the research is aquatic and semi-aquatic insects, comprising taxa of four primary orders, the Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera but also aquatic and semi-aquatic families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, as well as specific representatives of Hymenoptera , Lepidoptera, Mecoptera, Megaloptera , and Neuroptera that occur in lotic and lentic habitats during part of their life cycle. Studies on other aquatic Hexapoda (i.e., Collembola) will be only accepted if space permits. Papers on other aquatic Arthropoda (e.g., Crustacea) will not be considered, except for those closely related to aquatic and semi-aquatic insects (e.g., water mites as insect parasites).
The topic of the research may include a wide range of biological fields. Taxonomic revisions and descriptions of individual species will be accepted especially if additional information is included on habitat preferences, species co-existing, behavior, phenology, collecting methods, etc., that are of general interest to an international readership. Descriptions based on single specimens are discouraged.
Detailed studies on morphology, physiology, behavior, and phenology of aquatic insects in all stadia of their life cycle are welcome as well as the papers with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, especially if they discuss evolutionary processes of the biological, ecological, and faunistic formation of the group.
