Published: January 2024

Forced and unforced shoot tips were surface sterilized with different sterilant regimes and incubated under normal culture room conditions. Surface sterilization of explants with mercuric chloride 0.1% (w/v) for 10 min. was found effective in improving culture asepsis (51.66%) and explant survival (55.00%). Higher values for both these parameters were recorded with forced explants in comparison to unforced ones. Main effect of growth regulators and media was significant on explant establishment which was maximum (66.66%) on ½ MS media containing BAP + IBA (0.50+0.01 mg/l). Callusing at the base of initiating cultures was minimum (24.58%) with BAP+IBA (0.25+0.01 mg/l). Microshoots from the established cultures were subcultured on the MS media supplemented with BAP and NAA alone or in combination for axillary shoot proliferation. Maximum proliferated cultures (86.66%) with maximum shoot number/explant (15.61) and proliferation grade (4.00) was obtained with BAP+NAA ( 0.40 + 0.01 mg/l). BAP was found superior to NAA during axillary shoot proliferation. Microshoots (10–15 mm) from proliferated cultures were subcultured in root induction medium (MS medium supplemented with IBA) and incubated under darkness for 10 days at 24±1 oC and then transferred to root development medium (hormone-free MS medium) and incubated under normal culture room conditions. Highest rooting of microshoots (93.33%) with maximum root number/shoot (5.90) and root length (43.00 mm) was obtained with IBA (1.0 mg/l).
Estimates of genetic variability and correlation studies for some quality traits in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata )
Authors: MEENA M L , RAM R B , LATA RUBEE , SHARMA S R
Published: January 2024

The genetic variability, inter-relationship and path analysis for quality traits were studied in 30 diverse cabbage genotypes. A wide range of variation was observed for all most all traits. C 10 recorded the maximum amount of sulphur, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, iron, potassium, zinc, calcium and dry matter. Phenotypic coefficient of variation and genotypic coefficient of variation were highest for ascorbic acid and lowest for potassium and calcium. High heritability estimates were observed for all the quality characteristics, except for zinc and dry matter percent. Ascorbic acid and sulphur content, high genetic advance as percentage of mean coupled with high heritability and low genetic advance as percentage of mean indicated non additive gene action for expression of calcium and potassium. The genotypic correlation coefficient higher than the corresponding phenotypic correlation coefficient for all the parameters. The dry matter had significant and positive correlation with all quality traits. Thus, these traits may effectively be used as a selection criterion for screening potential genotypes in a breeding programme.

Published: January 2024

Abstract: In recent years there have been several political initiatives in Norway, requiring more research into how multimorbidity and health care pathways in the municipality affect outcomes such as work participation, hospital admissions, disability and quality of life for patients with chronic diseases. Most of the care is provided outside hospitals and has been difficult to capture in large, registry-based studies. Focusing on two important groups, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), the INOREG project aims to reduce these knowledge gaps. In the paper we present 1) the data that are used in the project, 2) the construction of samples, variables and possible methods for analysis and 3) an example on how the data and methods will be applied.  The project database is constructed from a novel linkage of national health and welfare registries.  The data cover social, primary and specialized care for all COPD and MSD patients in Norway, long-term care data from Oslo and Trondheim municipalities and functioning and quality of life for ca. 2,700 patients treated at physiotherapy clinics in the FYSIOPRIM project. This enables construction of care pathways and outcomes at the individual level from 2008 through 2019. The project will fill knowledge gaps regarding the patterns of care at different levels in the health care system, and the association to outcomes for chronic patient groups. If the project is successful, it will provide improved insight on how to further develop provision and coordination of services to the decision makers, and ideally reduce inequalities in health.
Nordic Academic Publishing in Health Economics
Authors: Karlsson Martin Karlsson , Hammarfelt Björn
Published: January 2024

We analyse how the Nordic contribution to health economics has evolved over the past three decades -- in quantitative and qualitative terms. Using a dataset of publications from five prominent field journals for health economics, we combine different empirical methods to analyse the general trends in terms of number of distinct publications, topics covered, and co-authorship relationships between countries and individuals. We find that the Nordic countries are responsible for a stable share of international publications in health economics. The topics that Nordic health economists publish on are relatively similar to those most prevalent in the international community, even though health insurance is remarkably absent as a research topic in Nordic countries. In terms of links between countries and co-authors, we see that Nordic researchers are well embedded in the international community, and that the Nordic research community has moved toward less hierarchical relationships.
List size disequilibria and service provision in general practice
Authors: Rose Olsen Kim , Skovsgaard Christian Volmar , Oxholm Anne Sophie , Vestergaard Mogens
Published: January 2024

Abstract: Several Nordic countries remunerate general practice by a mix of capitation and fee-for-service. From the literature we know that capitation-based payments come with a risk of undersupply of services, whereas fee-for-service comes with a risk of overprovision of services. Previous studies from the Nordic countries assess potential overprovision of services in general practices that are falling short of enlisted patients. However, today the main challenge in general practice is physician shortages, which comes with a risk of underprovision of services. Little is known about whether physician shortage in fact leads to underprovision of services. Using the two-way Mundlak regression on a panel of Danish general practices in 2016-17, this study assesses whether holding a longer than preferred patient list is associated with fewer services per enlisted patient. Around 100 of our sample of 1,652 practices hold longer lists than preferred. These practices have on average an excess of around 80 patients per full time general practitioner. We find little support of the hypothesis that practices with longer than preferred lists provide fewer contacts per patient. Heterogeneity analyses, however, reveal that practices with longer lists tend to provide fewer services to patients with complex needs. Policymakers should therefore be aware that there may be underprovision of services to high-need patients when there is a shortage of GPs.
Death: between the individual and the social
Authors: Carranza Jimenez Xiomara , Choque Vargas Jeanette , Ortega Medina Patricia Rafaela Soledad , Maidana Victoria Soledad
Published: January 2024

This paper discusses the concept of death and its various types, focusing on how death affects terminally ill nurses. The importance of understanding and managing emotions related to death in nursing practice is explored. Types of death such as natural, apparent, sudden, violent, suicide, homicide, accidental death, and assisted suicide are discussed. The paper reflects on the universal fear of death and how this fear can influence the pursuit of achievement to counteract distress, often leading to an anxious race against time without enjoying achievement. The importance of recognizing and addressing death-related fears and emotions in nursing staff to provide high quality care to terminally ill patients and their families is highlighted. It is highlighted that, despite the inevitability of death in nursing practice, nursing professionals are not always emotionally prepared to deal with death. It is mentioned that the dying process not only affects nurses in their professional lives but also impacts their personal lives. The need to provide adequate support and resources to help nurses cope with the complex emotions associated with the death of patients is highlighted. In conclusion, this paper highlights the importance of addressing the issue of death in nursing practice, recognizing the need for emotional support and training for nursing professionals. The need for more compassionate and dignified care in the process of caring for terminally ill patients is emphasized
Bibliometría y Cienciometría, conocimiento y práctica indispensables para los estudiantes de ciencias médicas
Authors: Herrera Horta Guillermo Alejandro , Gutiérrez García Zurelys
Published: January 2024

During the last century there has been a spectacular increase in scientific production at international and national level, as well as its compilation in automated bibliographic databases, whose results have great influence on the economic and social development of countries, which demands the quantification and evaluation of scientific and technological activity, its results and yields. Bibliometrics and scientometrics are increasingly positioned as essential disciplines to measure the results of science, and despite this, not all members of the student scientific community recognize them as necessary in the information and communications era, as a way to improve and bring to higher levels the excellence in the student research process and its impact on scientific publications. Bibliometrics studies the quantitative aspects of the production, dissemination and use of recorded information, to which end it develops mathematical models and measurements that, in turn, serve to make forecasts and decisions about these processes. For its part, scientometrics studies the quantitative aspects of science as a discipline or economic activity, is part of the sociology of science, and finds application in the establishment of scientific policies, where it includes, among others, those of publication.

Authors: Chávez Montecino María José , Ramírez Aguilera Nicolás , Machuca-Contreras Felipe
Published: January 2024

Introduction: pressure injuries constitute a public health problem that impacts on people's health status and quality of life, increasing costs for hospital organisations. Aim: to evaluate the impact of a specialised skin care nursing unit on hospital-acquired pressure injuries in a high complexity public hospital in Chile. Methods: quantitative, quasi-experimental, prospective study. A non-probabilistic convenience sample of users who presented at least one pressure injury of in-hospital origin during the study year was used. Persons hospitalised in closed-care clinical services were included, including adult and paediatric emergency services. Results: 5106 people were evaluated, of whom 9,77 % presented pressure injuries. The average age was 67,27 years, the distribution by age group corresponded to 62,73 % in the elderly, 32,67 % in adults and 4,61 % in the paediatric/neonatal population. The clinical services with the highest number of pressure injuries corresponded to internal medicine and the adult intensive care unit. In relation to the anatomical area, the highest incidence was in the sacral area and then the heel, with category 2 being the most frequent. The incidence prior to the implementation of the intervention during the year 2021 corresponded to 28,75 %, while after the strategy it was quantified as 9,7 % (p<0,001). Conclusions: implementing a specialised skin care nursing unit has an impact on reducing the incidence of pressure injuries in hospitalised persons

Published: January 2024

Introduction: the literature states the importance of self-regulation and gender in school contexts. Therefore, it is necessary to review the published evidence on how the two variables interact. Objective: to describe research that addresses the variables gender and self-regulation in school contexts.Methods: a review was carried out using the PRISMA method, searching three databases, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), and SciELO in July 2023, considering studies in early childhood, primary and secondary school contexts.Results: nineteen out of 94 articles identified were analyzed. All of these are quantitative and mostly explanatory. The reported results indicate that female students showed higher levels of self-regulation than male students There are clear differences in results across cultures, and gender is used as a predictor and moderator of self-regulation and other variables. On the language used to refer to gender, 17 publications were found that use terms referring to biological rather than gender differences. Conclusions: the results show the importance of the gender variable on self-regulation when used as a predictor and moderating variable. The need to take care with the language used to refer to gender and to justify the reasons for collecting data on this variable is evident, for the respective interpretations of the studies
Pyoderma Gangrenosum in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Rare Case Involving Mandibular, Elbow, and Pubic Ulcers
Authors: Firek Alexandra , Warren Kelsey , Lorenzen Carina , Bonilla MD Lorena P
Published: January 2024

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, inflammatory skin condition primarily characterized by painful ulcers with undermined borders, commonly occurring on the lower extremities. In approximately fifty percent of cases, PG is associated with underlying systemic diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), inflammatory arthritis, or myeloproliferative disorders. PG is notorious for its variable clinical manifestations, which can closely resemble other dermatological conditions, often leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. This case underscores the importance of including PG in the differential diagnosis for patients with ulcerative skin lesions to ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity of screening for IBD in patients diagnosed with PG.
Community-Acquired Pneumonia for the Hospitalist: Updates and Controversies
Authors: Bonsall Joanna M
Published: January 2024

The American Thoracic Society (ATS)/Infectious Disease Society of American (IDSA) guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) were released in 2019. While most categories had minor updates, one major change was abandonment of the term “healthcare-associated pneumonia” (HCAP). The guidelines also recommended against use of procalcitonin for the decision to initiate antibiotics; recommended against use of corticosteroids in all cases but pneumonia with septic shock; and recommended obtaining blood and sputum cultures in patients with pneumonia at risk for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This review will cover studies published since the 2019 guidelines that help answer unaddressed questions and/or add clarity to areas of uncertainty.
The Status of Official Languages in the Multilingual European Union
Authors: Dr. Muhammad Issa  , Mr. Sajjad Hussain  , Mr. Ghulam Abbas
Published: January 2024

The European Union (EU) comprises 27 nations and uses 24 official languages to acknowledge diversity and equal opportunity in the Union. This is an egalitarian policy, which is met with resistance and challenges due to various practices in the EU administration and management. A consecutive policy debate persisted in EU thinkers to decide the official language of the Union, while the nature of the public sphere was multicultural and multilingual.

This paper explores factors behind the hurdles to achieving linguistic equality in the EU by looking at various institutional policies and scholastic papers. The research concludes that linguistic equality is theoretically idealised to promote linguistic harmony in the bloc, however, it is practically unattainable because prominent official and working languages like English, French and German trump other official languages of the EU member states. In addition, making everything available in all official languages of the EU is quite limited to avoid cost burden.
Transformation of the Status of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People in the Ukrainian Legislation
Authors: Dr. Akif Tahiiev
Published: January 2024

From the beginning of Ukraine's independence in 1991, Crimean Tatars began effective political activity to restore their right to live in Crimea as indigenous people and to maintain a decisive role in Kyiv’s relations with the regional government of Crimea. Qurultay (representatives’ body) and Mejlis (executive body) were recreated to represent the Tatar people. The Mejlis adopted acts that did not have necessarily binding legal force, however, it was recognized and integrated into the Ukrainian legal system in 1999 through a presidential order. Policy recommendations of Mejlis were considered noteworthy in decisions made by Ukrainian authorities regarding issues of the Crimean Tatars particularly and Crimea in general.

The focus of the paper is to study the transformation of Ukrainian supremacy in Crimea and the status of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar in pre- and post-2014. It is based on historical data on Crimean Tatars and analyses the legal acts and policies adopted by the highest authorities of Ukraine related to the subjects of the Mejlis. During the political events of ‘Euromaidan’ that took place in Ukraine in 2013-14 and the Russian annexation of Crimea through a referendum in 2014, the topic of the autonomy of the Crimean Tatars became a relevant issue of human rights and placed as a priority area in the agenda of the Ukrainian government. This research also serves as a case study of the minority group of displaced people who need someplace to stay and settle.
A INCLUSÃO DE UNIVERSITÁRIOS COM DEFICIÊNCIA
Authors: Carvalho Andreza de Oliveira de , Queiroz Paulo Pires de
Published: January 2024

As políticas públicas voltadas para a inclusão no ensino superior têm refletido no crescimento das matrículas nesse nível de ensino de uma população historicamente excluída, transformando o retrato das universidades públicas brasileiras. Partindo da premissa de que o acesso deve estar atrelado às condições adequadas para permanência, este artigo teve como proposta analisar os textos normativos da Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) que tratam do processo de inclusão de estudantes com deficiência. Buscou-se entender como a produção textual institucional reflete o que foi sendo transformado, em diferentes medidas e com alguma inércia, na universidade, nos seus setores, nos seus espaços e nas ações como instituição. Como instrumentos para a coleta de dados realizou-se a análise de documentos disponíveis no site da UNIRIO. O método da análise documental foi aplicado para tratamento dos dados, como proposto por Cellard. Como resultado, constatou-se que a comunidade brasileira de pessoas com deficiência já foi mais ou menos contemplada com leis, decretos e portarias que garantem o acesso à universidade. Entretanto, a simples concessão do acesso e a existência de textos político-normativos não correspondem a uma completa mudança de cenário.

Published: January 2024

Recorrentemente, muitos brasileiros nascem ou tornam-se, por alguma fatalidade, uma pessoa com deficiência (PcD), requerendo a elaboração de estratégias e ações que lhes garantam a igualdade de direitos. Nessa direção, a pesquisa visou identificar e analisar os aspectos legais da lei nº 13.146/2015, no que concerne à educação e, a partir de pesquisas recentes sobre o tema, refletir como efetivá-los. Para análise dos dados optou-se pela análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram que ainda há muito a ser feito para que os direitos expressos na legislação sejam alcançados, como a elaboração e execução de políticas públicas que acolham a pessoa com deficiência em sua totalidade. Destacamos que a legislação é uma etapa essencial para a inclusão educacional da PcD, porém, muitas outras barreiras precisam ser rompidas, dentre elas o preconceito.

Published: January 2024

The main objective of this article is to conduct a systematic review within the rice sector's agri-business productive chain, focusing on aspects related to the decision-making process, innovation environments, competitiveness, and methodologies for measuring performance and differentiation. The article emphasizes the importance of the agribusiness and the need for a systemic approach to addressing challenges encountered within the production chain. It highlights that pursuing competitiveness can lead to reducing production costs and adding value, and gaining competitive advantages through differentiation strategies. Within the context of the rice sector, the significance of rice is highlighted as one of the most widely cultivated cereals globally, with significant social, economic, and environmental impacts. However, fluctuations in global rice prices can result in undesirable effects. Therefore, new strategies are needed to add value to products and expand consumption beyond the conventional markets.Given this context, the article contributes to the literature by identifying the decision-making processes applied in these agroindustries, as well as addressing aspects related to innovation environments, competitiveness, and methodologies for measuring performance and differentiation.
Enhancing Precision and Stability: A Cognitive Approach for Pesticide Image Segmentation in Crop Leaves
Authors: Anas Muhammad , Asad Maimoona , Khan Hamza Ahmad
Published: January 2024

The precise delineation of pests from crop foliage is a crucial stage in the field of intelligent pest identification. This study presents a novel cognitive segmentation methodology that aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of this crucial procedure. The technique comprises a number of essential stages: To begin with, the proposed method utilises sophisticated image block processing techniques to partition the pest image into smaller, more manageable parts. Additionally, an adaptive learning technique is utilised to carefully choose the initial cluster centres, hence guaranteeing the precision of the segmentation procedure. Subsequently, the use of K-means clustering facilitates the acquisition of initial segmentation outcomes, hence augmenting the procedure of identification. In order to mitigate the impact of leaf veins, the proposed approach utilises three digital morphological characteristics that are closely linked to ellipses. The study involved conducting experimental segmentation trials on crop photos that contained whiteflies. The findings of the study provide compelling evidence that the suggested cognitive segmentation method outperforms existing techniques in terms of accuracy and robustness. This technological development provides a robust basis for future advancements in pest identification and crop management

Flourishing Scale, the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire Parent Form (APQ-P) and ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool—Parent version (ICAST-P)were used. The results indicated that there is a significant negative relation and impact between maternal well-being and child abuse. The relationship of maternal wellbeing is significantly positive and predictable with involvement, positive parenting and inconsistent discipline. However, maternal wellbeing is significantly negatively associated and predicted with poor monitoring and corporate punishment. The interpretation of quantitative content analysis revealed parenting techniques mothers used as appropriate means to discipline their children.
New faunistic and taxonomic insights on little known Crambidae from forested habitats of Italian Peninsula (Lepidoptera: Pyraloidea)
Authors: Scalercio S. , Ienco A. , Greco S.
Published: January 2024

We provided new distribution data and taxonomic notes concerning eleven Crambidae species new or little known for the Italian fauna. Most records were collected in Calabria, the southernmost region of peninsular Italy, where forested habitats were surveyed during last years. Some accessory data were mined from Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) and were used to refine the distribution of treated species. In detail, we found three species new for Italian fauna: Evergestis subfuscalis (Staudinger, 1870), Udea languidalis (Eversmann, 1842), and Hyperlais siccalis (Guenée, 1854). Three species not recorded in peninsular Italy so far: Cynaeda gigantea (Wocke, 1871), Evergestis dumerlei Leraut, 2003, and Catoptria staudingeri (Zeller, 1863). Four species not recorded in southern Italy so far, Evergestis infirmalis (Staudinger, 1870), Cynaeda dentalis ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Paratalanta pandalis (Hübner, 1796), Hodebertia testalis (Fabricius, 1794). Evergestis sophialis (Fabricius, 1787) was for the first time recorded in Calabria. Barcoding analysis allowed us to confirm the status of Evergestis subfuscalis as bona species, eastern vicariant of E. mundalis. Furthermore, we underlined the needs of a revision of the Udea fimbriatralis species group as barcodes of western and eastern European specimens appear to be intermingled, suggesting the presence of one unique variable species. In conclusion, the importance of the Italian peninsula as a bridge between western and eastern European faunas was remarked.

Published: January 2024

Coleophora perplexella Toll, 1960 it is native of Spain and Portugal, but it has detected out of its origin area, and was found in Sardinia, Morocco and Algeria without its host plant being identified. Recently has been observed in France (Toulon) on Hordeum murinum L. and Bromus sterilis L. (Poaceae). However, it was never cited among the Tunisian entomofauna. In addition, C. perplexella was never known as agricultural pest in its area or elsewhere. Moreover, no deep studies diagnosis and biology were conducted. This paper is a first study on C. perplexella, detected as an agricultural pest on oat (Avena sativa L., 1753) and barely (Hordeum vulgare L., 1753) making serious damages on early seedlings. Besides, a description and illustrations of different biological stage was provided. Results highlight a difference between the appearance dates of emerged new adults under both controlled and ambient conditions. According these results we can conclude on adaptation plasticity to the environmental conditions. In fact, C. perplexella can survive and cause damage at temperature between 7-10º C from December to February, and 23-25º C of controlled conditions.

Destrucción de un hábitat protegido de parte de una especie invasora: el caso de Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859), en las formaciones de boj de Liguria (Noroccidental de Italia) (Lepidoptera Crambidae)
Authors: Badano D. , Caracciolo D. , Mariotti M. , Raineri V.
Published: January 2024

La mariposa del boj, Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859), es una especie invasora de origen asiático asociada al boj, ha despertado enseguida la atención en Europa a causa del daño provocado a las plantas ornamentales y a su rápida difusión. Sin embargo, sus efectos sobre las formaciones naturales de boj, ha quedado escasamente estudiada, especialmente en Europa meridional. En Liguria (Italia Noroccidental), ha atacado formaciones de boj xerotermófilo sobre substrato rocoso, un hábitat protegido (5110), según la Directiva 92/43, poniendo en serio peligro la supervivencia de este último, a largo plazo. A  continuación de la primera introducción, en el 2013, esta especie casi tiene defoliado el área entera cubierta por el hábitat 5110, hasta padecer un hundimiento de la población a causa del agotamiento de su único recurso trófico. Presentamos aquí el seguimiento de las dinámicas demográficas y el curso de la población de esta especie invasora en Liguria en los años 2016-2017.

Variación temporal del ensamblaje de mariposas asociadas a la Cuenca de la Calaboza, Yopal, Casanare, Colombia (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea)
Authors: Urbano P. , Mahecha-J. O. , Suárez E. , Izquierdo V. , Díaz-S. V.
Published: January 2024

La variación estacional puede afectar tanto a la estructura del hábitat como a la disponibilidad de recursos, lo que puede generar diferentes respuestas de las especies animales como las mariposas. Por tal razón, se planteó evaluar el efecto de la variación temporal en el ensamblaje de mariposas en la cuenca de la Calaboza, Casanare, Colombia, teniendo dos épocas de muestreo: Bajas lluvias y altas lluvias y empleando métodos de recolecta activos y pasivos planteados para el estudio de mariposas. Se logró evidenciar una variación en la composición, abundancia y riqueza de mariposas a lo largo del muestreo, en donde la familia Nymphalidae presentó mayor diversidad tanto para la época de altas y bajas lluvias seguido de Pieridae. Por su parte, Lycaenidae y Riodinidae presentaron los menores valores de abundancia y riqueza en ambas épocas de muestreo. Se observó una variación en la composición de las especies de mariposas por época de muestreo, en donde Pyrgus orcus (Stoll, 1780), Memphis ambrosia (Druce, 1874), Eresia clara (Linnaeus, 1758), Cissia tiessa (Doubleday, 1848), Euptoieta claudia (Cramer, 1775), Taygetis rufomarginata (Staudinger, 1888), Aphrissa statira (Cramer, 1777), Melete polyhymnia (Felder & Felder, 1865) y Hypoleria ocalea (Doubleday, 1847), fueron exclusivas de época de bajas lluvias, mientras que Pyrgus oileus (Linnaeus, 1767), Eueides lybia (Fabricius, 1775), Itaballia demophile (Linnaeus, 1763), Dircenna dero (Hübner, 1823), Hamadryas arinome (Lucas, 1853), Taygetis andromeda (Butler, 1877), Eunica malvina (Bates, 1864), Posttaygetis penelea (Cramer, 1777), entre otras, fueron especies exclusivas de la época de Altas Lluvias. Se evidenció que especies como Historis acheronta (Fabricius, 1775) y Heliconius erato (Linnaeus, 1758) fueron co-dominantes, tanto para la época de bajas como de altas lluvias. Estos resultados, indican que a nivel de cuenca existen condiciones ecosistémicas que soportan los requerimientos biológicos para la supervivencia de la comunidad de mariposas, a pesar de la especificidad en la presencia de algunas especies por época climática, se reporta una alta diversidad de especies en el área de estudio importantes para el equilibrio ecosistémico, por lo que la Calaboza se convierte en un área de importancia para conservación a nivel de piedemonte en la región de la Orinoquia colombiana.
