La urbanizaci\u00f3n transforma dr\u00e1sticamente los sistemas naturales preexistentes, representando una amenaza para la biodiversidad, y es la causa principal de p\u00e9rdida de h\u00e1bitat y extinci\u00f3n local de especies, modificando la estructura de comunidades y poblaciones de flora y fauna. Sin embargo, las zonas urbanas son sistemas abiertos a la llegada de especies que logran usar sus recursos y sobrevivir a sus amenazas. La fauna que se adapta a los ambientes antr\u00f3picos los usan para satisfacer sus necesidades fisiol\u00f3gicas (alimento y agua) y ecol\u00f3gicas (refugio, anidaci\u00f3n, \u00e1mbito hogare\u00f1o, etc). Los principales rasgos funcionales que posee la fauna para poder desarrollarse en estos ambientes son tener una dieta omn\u00edvora, amplia distribuci\u00f3n y alta esperanza de vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pero \u00bfcu\u00e1les son las principales especies de fauna urbana? Esta pregunta es dif\u00edcil de responder, pues si bien la diversidad en ambientes urbanos ha sido diezmada, aun son bastantes las especies que se han podido adaptar a la presencia y presi\u00f3n humana, por lo que podemos encontrar en nuestras casa, sitios de trabajo o en cualquier otro especio dentro de la ciudad, un importante n\u00famero de especies de insectos nocivos (cucarachas, mosquitos, chinches, entre otros), ar\u00e1cnidos de importancia m\u00e9dica (viudas negras, violinistas, alacranes) y de importancia ecol\u00f3gica (abejas, hormigas, mariposas, polinizadores en general) y algunos otros que pueden en ser una plaga para la flora urbana (pulgones, grillos y chapulines, larvas como hojas o descortezadores). Por otro lado, la fauna urbana tambi\u00e9n incluye organismos m\u00e1s grandes, como mam\u00edferos (mapaches, tlacuaches, cacomixtles, ardillas, zorrillos, incluso zorras) y aves (palomas, torcazas, zanates, gorriones, colibr\u00edes), reptiles y anfibios, e incluso, peces. En resumen, los ambientes urbanos se est\u00e1n convirtiendo en reservorios de biodiversidad, y es de gran importancia el adecuado manejo de aquellas que pudiesen resultar da\u00f1inas, evitando afectar y promoviendo la conservaci\u00f3n de las especies no nocivas y de importancia ecol\u00f3gica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
