Descripción
Human population and cities are growing fast, with a concomitant modification of the land surface. Urbanization is driving biodiversity loss and biological homogenization, which impacts human wellbeing. In this study, we evaluated the influence of urbanization on flower visitor assemblage using an interaction network approach. We assessed the effect of different variables at the local and landscape scales on community parameters and network metrics along a gradient of urbanization located in a subtropical montane Yungas forest. We found that local variables affected the richness of flower visitors, which increased with greater flower coverage, high stability of floral resources, and the proportion of exotic plants. Moreover, local variables affected the diversity, nestedness (NODF), and specialization (H2) of the interaction network. Landscape variables, such as altitude and proportion of impervious surface (a proxy of urbanization), affected both the richness of flower visitors and specialization. The effect of urbanization on the richness of flower visitors differed across the altitudinal gradient, with higher impact at higher altitudes. In conclusion, our results indicate that local and landscape variables affect community parameters and the structure of plant-flower visitor networks to different extents and strengths.
