Caracterización de Microhábitats de la Artropofauna en páramos del Parque Nacional Natural Chingaza Cundinamarca, Colombia

The microhabitats occupied by the arthropofauna in sites abounding in typical communities of giant rosette plants (Espeletiinae: Compositae) and tussock grasses were characterized and described. The microhabitats herein described come from the principal observed biotipes of vegetation (caulirrosula, tussock, bamboo-shaped and criptogam carpets), from soil horizonts and substrata appearing as a result of temperature factor and heth disturbance (rocky substratum, bovine dung).  The arthropofauna comunity herein canvassed is featured by its abundance of coleóptera and diptera making up 40% of the total number of species. From nearly 85 species, 40% are coming from microhabitats derived both from alive substratum and from Espeletia grandiflora necromass. Lastly, the most relevant factors of occupancy of such microhabitats by the organisms are explained.
