description | The purpose of this study was to estimate mammalian richness and diversity in shaded coffee plantations and tropical rainforest in the community of Loma Bonita, Maravilla Tenejapa, Chiapas, Mexico. We compared the species richness, diversity, relative abundance, and similarity of mammal communities between habitats and seasons. We recorded 953 individuals of 54 mammal species, with predominance of the orders Chiroptera (n=31 species) and Rodentia (n=13 species). During the dry season, species richness (S) and diversity (H´) were higher in rainforest habitat (S=40, H´=3.2) than in coffee plantations (S=31, H´= 2.7). Species richness and diversity were stable during the rainy season in coffee plantations (S=31; H´= 2.6), but declined in the rainforest (S=24; H´=2.3). The most abundant species were the phyllostomid bat Sturnira lilium and the mouse Peromyscus mexicanus in coffee plantations and rainforest, respectively. We found a higher similarity of mammalian communities between habitats in the dry season (IM-H= 0.6) than in the wet season (IM-H= 0.4). In order to relate mammalian diversity and composition with arboreal structure, we characterized both habitat types recording 51 woody species of 25 families, of which 7 species and 4 families were present both in rainforest and coffee plantations (i.e., Musa paradisiaca, Inga pavoniana, Pouteria sapota, Brosimum alicastrum, and Castilla elastica). We only found significant seasonal differences for relative abundance of bats. Because of the high similarity of mammalian richness and diversity between the rainforest and shaded coffee plantations, our results support the previous assumption that the latter are important for maintaining mammalian diversity in transformed ecosystems. |

El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar la riqueza y diversidad de mamíferos en cafetales con sombra y selva mediana perennifolia en la comunidad de Loma Bonita, Municipio de Maravilla Tenejapa, Chiapas, México. Comparamos la riqueza, diversidad, abundancia relativa y similitud de especies entre hábitat durante las estaciones seca y lluviosa. Registramos un total de 953 individuos de 54 especies de mamíferos, predominando los órdenes Chiroptera (n=31 especies) y Rodentia (n=13 especies). Durante la estación seca, la mayor riqueza (S) y diversidad (H´), se registró en la selva mediana (S=40, H´=3.2) que en los cafetales (S=31, H´= 2.7). En la estación lluviosa, la riqueza y diversidad se mantuvo constante en los cafetales (S=31; H´= 2.6), mientras que se observó una reducción de estos atributos en la selva mediana (S=24; H´=2.3) (H=10.9). Las especies más abundantes fueron el murciélago Sturnira lilium y el roedor Peromyscus mexicanus en los cafetales y la selva mediana, respectivamente. La mayor similitud de las comunidades de mamíferos entre los dos hábitat se presentó en la estación seca (IM-H= 0.6) que en la estación lluviosa (IM-H= 0.4). La diversidad y composición de mamíferos se relacionó con la composición y estructura arbórea presente en ambos hábitat. De un total de 51 especies de leñosas pertenecientes a 25 familias, siete especies estuvieron presentes tanto en selva mediana como en cafetal, destacando el plátano (Musa paradisiaca), chalúm (Inga pavoniana), zapote (Pouteria sapota), ramón (Brosimum alicastrum) y hule (Castilla elastica). Sólo encontramos diferencias significativas por estaciones para la abundancia relativa de mamíferos voladores. Nuestros resultados apoyan la hipótesis de que los cafetales con sombra son importantes para el mantenimiento de la diversidad de mamíferos en ecosistemas transformados, pues la riqueza y diversidad de especies son muy similares a los de la selva mediana.
