Abstract

With the purpose to find-out the correlation existence between families of Collembola and the edaphic physical-chemistry factors of the dry forest, pasture and the corn crop ecosystems by not applying agrochemical, this study was carried-out from October 2011 to March 2012 in the community of San Roque, District of San Francisco, province of Veraguas. The Collembola’s specimens were collected using pitfall traps, finding 8 families: Isotomidae, Entomobryidae, Brachystomellidae, Onycchiuridae, Sminthuridae, Dicyrtomidae, Paronellidae and Sminthurididae. A physical-chemistry analysis of the soil from the three areas of study, was also carried-out. By means of Pearson’s correlation test, it was determined that humidity and precipitations factors, showed to have strong positively correlation and significance toward the number of individuals of the Collembola’s family; mean while the temperature determined showed a negative correlation toward this family and the same order. The Principal Components test determined that the major weight or influence of the edaphic variables on Collembola’s families has been exercised by the potassium, calcium, phosphorus and organic matter, in which pH, potassium and phosphorus showed to have more correlation with the abundance of Collembola’s families.
