Abstract
The objective of this study is to determine the species of the genus Heliconius in habitats with different degrees of conservation in the Colombian Amazon, and thus answer the question of whether does the degree of conservation of forests in the Colombian Amazon affect gender diversity Heliconius? this by collecting this genus over six consecutive months in two different sites degree of conservation. Genus Heliconius community in this area is composed of 11 species, of which 9 were collected in Leticia (Site1 - Low Degree of Conservation). And 8 in Puerto Nariño (Site2 - High Degree of Conservation). In Site 2 we did not find two subspecies of the species H. numata nor the species H. hecale humboldti. Although sites are significantly different in their conservation status, it can be said that the Site 1 has an affectation of intermediate forest, therefore, it is considered that the results of this work in terms of a greater number of individuals on the Site best preserved, is a first sign of involvement on the degree of forest conservation in butterfly populations and that the result of greater diversity in Site 1, can be explained in part by the difficulty of capturing the Site 2 and moreover should be considered that this genus has been seen in other studies to be more resistant to disturbance by presenting the ecological plasticity. © 2016.
