Influencia del manejo de zonas de captación de agua sobre los escarabajos coprófagos en las comunidades Shaime y Héroes del Cóndor del cantón Nangaritza.

Abstract

The research consisted in determinating of the influence of the manage and construction of water catchment, over the coprophagous Beetles in the “Shaime” and “Heroes del Condor” communities in the Nangaritza Canton, through the fall trap system for coprophagous beetles, determinating the richness, plentifulness and diversity of themselves in two sites with three samplings in each one of them in differents dates. Both communities show socioenvironmentals conflicts. “Heroes del Condor”, with it woods in good shape and most abundance, claim a better purifying system and water captation, which would disturb this woods. On its side, “Shaime”, which has a modern captation and purifying system, couldn’t kept the part of its woods, by the precarious intervention, result of the felling of the primary vegetation, caused several damaged to the ground, by the rain, modifying its natural condition. This results show us, the sensibility of the “escarabidae” group, to the alterations showed in the environment with its presence or absence.
