| Sumario: | Mexico has a wide diversity of ecosystems, among which are different types of forests that cover almost 33% of the country’s territory. One of the main characteristics of these ecosystems is that they host a great diversity of organisms, including arthropods, who play an important role within these natural systems. The research was carried out in 3 sites in Pueblo Nuevo, Durango from September 2017 to March 2018. Twenty pit-fall traps and 10 necrophagous traps were used, as well as direct on-site specimen collection. A total of 18 251 organisms were collected that belonged to 20 orders and 67 families, grouped in eight trophic guilds, of which the detritivores were the most widely represented, followed by the coprophagous and the predatory. In the state of Durango there is an information void regarding the functions these organisms perform in the forests, and therefore this research study has as its main objective to evaluate trophic guilds associated with a pine - oak forest. |
