Water beetles (Coleoptera) and water bugs (Hemiptera) are two of the region's most thoroughly studied insect groups. An exhaustive database of aquatic beetles and bugs from the Region of Murcia (SE Spain) and a set of 33 variables were employed for two related purposes: a) to describe the sampling effort conducted in the study area on these groups in order to identify zones with reliable inventories and b) with this information as a base, to forecast the distribution of species richness for each group. Theoretical estimates were based on the Clench function applied to the accumulated number of samples and were constructed with general linear models (GLM). The following results were obtained: 1) the percentage of grid cells that can be considered to be well sampled in the study area (143 10 × 10 km UTM grid cells) is approximately 14 % for beetles and 22 % for bugs; 2) well-surveyed cells are evenly distributed according to the previously defined physioclimatic subareas, which enable the use of these grid cells for modelling the richness distribution; and 3) a more accurate picture of the actual richness patterns for both groups is shown by the analysis. These results were combined to identify key areas where future sampling efforts must be focused.El sureste de la Península Ibérica es una región semiárida con una alta biodiversidad acuática, siendo los coleópteros y hemípteros acuáticos dos de los grupos de insectos mejor estudiados. Una base de datos que recopila todas las citas existentes de ambos grupos en la Región de Murcia (SE de España) y un conjunto de 33 variables han sido utilizadas con los siguientes objetivos: a) describir el esfuerzo de muestreo llevado a cabo sobre estos grupos en el área de estudio para identificar zonas con inventarios fiables y usando como base esta información b) predecir la distribución de la riqueza para ambos grupos. Basándonos en estimaciones teóricas mediante el uso de la función de Clench sobre el número acumulado de muestras y modelos lineares generalizados (GLM), hemos encontrado que: 1) de las 143 unidades espaciales utilizadas (10 × 10 km UTM) en torno a un 14 % y un 22 % para coleópteros y hemípteros acuáticos, respectivamente, pueden considerarse bien muestreadas; 2) sin embargo, las celdas bien prospectadas se encuentran equitativamente distribuidas por las subregiones fisioclimáticas previamente definidas, lo que permite el uso de estas cuadrículas para modelar la distribución de la riqueza, 3) obteniéndose una imagen más cercana a los patrones de riqueza reales de ambos grupos. Combinando estos resultados, identificamos áreas clave donde deben ser localizados los futuros esfuerzos de muestreo. 22012-01-0120122012-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/108753reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
