The research site will be in transect No. 7 part B Cantón Pujilí, Province Cotopaxi, 2017. The purpose is to know the diversity and abundance of the entomofauna of the parish Esperanza of Cantón Pujilí, where the study has divided the total area of the sector in transects, whose area is one hectare and that it is located in the coordinates Length: 73 ° 5'4.781'S, Latitude: 0 ° 59'16.923''W, and an altitude of 1970 m.a.s.l. A collection was carried out at ground level with drop traps, PitFall thus obtaining the types of insects present within the object of study. The traps were randomly placed at 10 points of the transect to further proceed to the identification and classification of the samples in the Entomology Laboratory using the dichotomous keys, for its later conservation. The next step was to obtain the abundance and diversity of the insects found in the study area, using the ShannonWiener formula. In order to apply this methodology it is advisable to carry out a survey of the field of study, either by taking photographs, aerial or vegetative formation maps from the study area. The method of transects allows us to quickly know the plant diversity and dominant species to be able to suggest conservation policies in areas of biological interest protected or unprotected. The georeferenciation of the transect was carried out in a study where it was determined that it is of irregular relief and steep slope. The predominant vegetation is of honey grass (Paspalum dilatatum), the number of families found belonged to 26 identified, where it was determined that there are 7 families that are predominant with a number of individuals greater than 10, emphasizing that the family Pyralidae has the largest number of individuals collected with 18.52% of the total in the transect. |
