In total, 2,102 individuals and 57 species of Curculionidae were collected and identified, of which >90% represented undescribed species. Total weevil densities averaged 8.51 [plus or minus] 9.04 individuals per 0.5 m2 of leaf litter. Estimates of the total number of leaf litter weevils in the reserve were >20 million. Data suggest that even small fragments of cloud forest (10 ha) may maintain viable populations of the more common species of leaf litter weevils for extended periods. However, because of their low powers of dispersion and their high levels of endemism, leaf litter weevils, and presumably other leaf litter insects, are particularly vulnerable to extinction when whole forest fragments are lost or when recent climate changes push cloud forests to higher elevations.1 aJones, Robert, W.1 aO'Brien, Charles, W.1 aRuiz-Montoya, Lorena1 aGomez-Gomez, Benigno  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/insect-diversity-tropical-montane-forests-diversity-and-spatial-distribution-weevils-coleoptera-curc00864nas a2200229   4500008004100000245009600041210006900137300001200206490000700218653002600225653002700251653003000278653002900308653002700337653003000364653002600394653002500420653002700445653002600472100002500498856011100523       1970                        eng d00aA taxonomic revision of the genus Gerstaeckeria north of Mexico (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)0 ataxonomic revision of the genus Gerstaeckeria north of Mexico Co  a255-2720 v6310aGerstaeckeria basalis10aGerstaeckeria hubbarbi10aGerstaeckeria indistincta10aGerstaeckeria infrequens10aGerstaeckeria lecontei10aGerstaeckeria leptocaulis10aGerstaeckeria nobilis10aGerstaeckeria porosa10aGerstaeckeria tricolor10aGerstaeckeria turbida1 aO'Brien, Charles, W.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/taxonomic-revision-genus-gerstaeckeria-north-mexico-coleoptera-curculionidae01535nas a2200133   4500008004100000245011400041210006900155300001200224490000700236520104900243100001801292700002501310856006601335       2001                        eng d00aGanglionus, a new genus of Derelomini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) associated with Carludovica (Cyclanthaceae)0 aGanglionus a new genus of Derelomini Coleoptera Curculionidae as  a835-8500 v743 aGanglionus, gen. nov.,is described for Þve species: G. mitigatus, sp. nov.,from Costa Rica; G. catenatus, sp. nov.,from Costa Rica and Panama; G. undulatus, sp. nov.,from Costa Rica and Panama; G. constrictus, sp. nov.,from Ecuador; and G. spatulatus, sp. nov.,from Colombia.
