| Shrnutí: | The structure of a Scarabaeinae community in the tropical mountains of México is studied using trophic and reproductiva characters, which were analyzed by multivariate methods (cluster and ordination analysis). The results suggest that spatial-temporal characters play an important role ¡n structuring the community. These characters along with resource utilization behaviour suggest that competition has a community ordering process. Species richness in this area ¡s high due to a biogeographíc overlap. The obtained results show the great potential of using multivariate analysis techniques for this type of study. |
