Durante el mes de setiembre de 2019, se llevó a cabo el presente trabajo de investigación, con el objetivo de generar información cuantitativa sobre las poblaciones de “aguaje” Mauritia flexuosa L.f y “ungurahui” Oenocarpus bataua Mart en tres territorios indígenas Secoyas y Kichwas (Nueva Jerusalén, Mashunta y Nuevo Belén) de la cuenca alta del Putumayo, límite Perú – Colombia. Para ello se realizaron inventarios, utilizando parcelas Wittaker modificadas de 1 hectárea, donde se registraron los individuos de aguaje y ungurahui con fuste ≥ 10 cm de diámetro a la altura del pecho (DAP) y alturas ≥ 6 metros. En la zona de Nueva Jerusalén se estimaron densidades de palmeras adultas de aguaje de 45,3 ind./ha, mientras que en Nuevo Belén 67,8 ind./ha. Respecto a las palmeras adultas de ungurahui, en Nueva Jerusalén se estimaron densidades de 20 ind./ha y en Mashunta ...

Theraphosidae represent the family with the greatest diversity in the Mygalomorphae suborder, but the scarcity of studies in the Peruvian Amazon has generate uncertainty about its richness, reason that encourages to determine the species of tarantulas located the middle basin of the Putumayo river (Peru). Sampling was carried out in two communities: Puerto Arturo and Bobona, riparian populations, along pre-established transects and occasional manual collecting outside the transects; allspecimens were identified using taxonomic keys, descriptions and information available on web pages. Ten individuals were recorded, distributed in seven species, three belonging to the subfamily Theraphosinae, two to Avicularinae, one to Ischnocolinae and one to Psalmonpoeinae. This work aims to presents preliminary results of the diversity of tarantulas in the Putumayo river basin in indicating. The prese...
