Fernández Biología Argentina rice field Biodiversity aquatic coleoptera Rice fields occupy large areas in Northeastern Argentina, and in Corrientes this widespead activity hasbecome a feature in the landscape, as it is one of the main producing provinces. The aquatic Coleoptera is partof the fauna inhabiting these artificial environments but little is known about this group in irrigated rice fields.The aims of this study were to determine the diversity and species richness of coleopterans in a typical rice field,and to characterize the community of water beetles through different abundance models. For this, samples werecollected from an active rice field located in “El Sombrero” town, in Corrientes Province, between November2011 and April 2012. An entomological net of 30 cm diameter was used, and species richness, diversity andequitability were calculated monthly; besides, the community composition was characterized by means of rank-abundance models. A total of 74 species of aquatic coleopterans were identified. January and February resultedthe months with the highest diversity. The aquatic Coleoptera species found in most of the sampled monthswere adjusted to the logarithmic rank-abundance model. The data suggests that, if it is properly managed, ricecropping in Northeastern Argentina can support a diverse aquatic coleopteran fauna. Rev. Biol. Trop. 63 (3):629-638.
