Fragmentación del hábitat, Interacciones ecológicas, Latinoamérica.Resumen
La fragmentación y pérdida de hábitat son unas de las principales amenazas para la biodiversidad; estas alteran procesos ecológicos importantes para la regulación de los ecosistemas que eventualmente pueden estar asociados a procesos de extinción de especies. La respuesta de las especies a estos fenómenos se da a diferentes escalas espaciotemporales, convirtiendo el estudio de la fragmentación y su efecto sobre las especies en un reto y una necesidad urgente para la conservación de las mismas. En este sentido el presente artículo examina el efecto de la fragmentación sobre las interacciones ecológicas, niveles organizacionales, al tiempo que se evalúa de manera general el estado de la investigación sobre el tema en Latinoamérica.
