Location of the nine riparian remnants studied.
Distribution of the nine riparian remnants of cloud forest throughout “La Antigua” Basin, in Central Veracruz (Mexico). In addition, the map also shows the change in cloud forest coverage between 1993 and 2004 in the basin.
Table 1.
Diversity and network patterns.
Relationship of the diversity estimators and network values found through the four tree species and the four deadwood decomposition stages evaluated from the riparian cloud forest in the “La Antigua” basin, central Veracruz.
Fig 2.
Saproxylic beetle network between two tree species.
Differences in core composition related to a) Clethra mexicana and b) Liquidambar styraciflua tree species. Nodes on the left correspond with each sampled trunk and nodes on the right represent the saproxylic beetle species. Species that constitute the core of the network are highlighted with a black star.
Fig 3.
Saproxylic beetle network among decomposition stages.
Differences in core composition related to each of deadwood decomposition stages, where D-I represents the initial stage, D-II, D-III the intermediate stages and D-IV the most advanced stage. Nodes on the left correspond to each trunk sampled and nodes on the right represent the saproxylic beetle species. Species that constitute the core of the network are highlighted with a black star.
