This is the first treatment of them, allowing usto compare spatial and temporal species distribution. Eleven species of freshwater molluscs were found in 2 surveys carriedin March (dry season) and September (rainy season) 1998 at the reserve El Edén. A total of 266 individuals were collected;8 pulmonates, Mayabina spiculata, Mexinauta impluviatus, Physa sp., Biomphalaria havanensis, Drepanotrema lucidum,Drepanotrema kermatoides, Planorbella (Pierosoma) trivolvis, and Planorbula armigera; 2 prosobranchs, Pyrgophorussp. and Pomacea flagellata; and one bivalve, Musculium transversum. Pulmonata dominate over Prosobranchia speciesin diversity. No signifi cant differences were observed in diversity between dry and rainy seasons. However, speciesabundance recorded in both seasons was very low, probably due to a combination of inadequate food resources anddisadvantageous climate (periodic conditions of drought and flooding). Further studies using a combination of differentsampling methods and more frequent samplings are needed to confi rm or identify these factors. We suggest that futurestudies should focus on cultivation of species with economic potential such as the apple snail Pomacea flagellata. 2007 artículo científico 1870-3453 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42578207 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=425 Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad (México) Num.2 Vol.78 |
