Abstract
Los copépodos intermareales chilenos han sido un grupo poco estudiado, existiendo reportes aislados para el litoral de Chile central y para territorios insulares. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar los ensambles de especies de copépodos intermareales en territorios insulares chilenos (islas de Pascua, San Félix, Alejandro Selkirk y Robinson Crusoe) y compararlas respecto a una zona del continente (Montemar, Valparaíso), por medio de un análisis de modelo nulo de co-ocurrencia de especies y un análisis de conglomerados. Los resultados del modelo nulo indicaron, para una simulación, que hay factores reguladores, mientras que en dos simulaciones no hay factores reguladores, lo que se debería al bajo número de especies reportadas. Por otro lado, el análisis de conglomerados reportó la existencia de un grupo principal conformado por las islas Alejandro Selkirk, San Félix y Robinson Crusoe, seguido después por la isla de Pascua y finalmente por Montemar. Se analizaron tópicos ecológicos, principalmente relacionados con los patrones de regulación de la riqueza de especies, como posibles explicaciones de los resultados observados.
Chilean intertidal copepods have been a littleies studied group, there are isolated reports for the central Chilean coast and island territories. The aim of this study was to analyze intertidal copepod assemblies on Chilean islands territories (Easter Island, San Felix, San Ambrosio, Alejandro Selkirk and Robinson Crusoe islands) and compare them with respect to an area of the continental coastal zone (Montemar, Valparaíso), through null model analysis of species co-occurrence and a cluster analysis. Null model results indicated. for a simulation, the existence of regulatory factors, while two simulations showed no regulatory factors, that would presumably due to the low number of species reported. Moreover, cluster analysis revealed the existence of a core group comprising the islands Alejandro Selkirk, San Felix, and Robinson Crusoe, followed later by Easter Island, and finally Montemar. Ecological topics were analyzed, mainly related with regulation patterns of species richness, as possible explanations for the observed results.
