Données sur le projet

The LOUNAZ invertebrate collection and the ongoing collecting efforts are the pillars for research and biodiversity conservation in southern Ecuador. It has the objective to generate information to determine the composition and structure of invertebrate populations, to evaluate temporal dynamics, richness, abundance and ecological patterns. Besides the collections contribute to the inventory of the species in southern Ecuador and has the potential to report new species to science.

Méthodes d'échantillonnage

To collect dung beetles, three 250-meter linear transects were established in each vegetation type in the study areas. Five pitfall traps were placed, 50 meters apart, in each transect, baited with human feces and chicken viscera, intercalated. Transects were placed 100 meters apart from each other. For each locality, three independent sampling events were conducted (one per month). The traps were left opened for 72 hours, and checked every 24 hours. Also, every 24 hours the bait was checked and replaced if needed, in order to maintain the efficiency of the trap.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

1. Before starting any sampling event, collecting permits by the Environmental Ministry in Ecuador are requested and granted. Students, technicians and researchers who do collecting are trained previously on what collecting data should be included in the labels. The training includes the use of a GPS (Gramin) to collect elevation data and coordinates where each individual trap was placed. Training is conducted by the invertebrate and vertebrate museum curators. Once the specimens are brought to the lab they are mounted and labeled. Each specimen receives a unique LOUNAZ identification number. A specialized taxonomist identifies the specimens to family and subfamily level to make sure they indeed belong to the Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera) taxonomic group (following general museum guidelines). Later, specimens are identified to species level using the taxonomic keys listed below. Identifications have been validated by Fernando Vaz de Mello, William Chamorro, and Aura Paucar-Cabrera. The identification data is entered in the database by locating the unique LOUNAZ id number. Specimens are identified to species level when genera revisions allow it, however not all species names are entered in this database as currently those species names have not been registered by the node administrator and haven´t been given a serial number to use in this system yet.
