Community structure of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) in a mangrove area in the coastal zone of Tamaulipas, Mexico by Blas Antonio Pérez-Urbina, Juana María Coronado-Blanco, Enrique Ruíz-Cancino, Crystian Sadiel Venegas-Barrera, Alfonso Correa-Sandoval, Jorge Víctor Horta-Vega

“…Our results showed that the mangrove area had the highest potential species richness, and that there were significant differences among the 3 ichneumonid communities. The community structures depend primarily on the biogeographical distribution of species and secondarily on the month of collection, whereas the type of vegetation contributed with lower variation. …”
