Ecología del estrés: Integrando patrones y procesos fisiológicos, comportamentales y ecológicos en guanacos: ¿Qué sabemos? ¿Qué nos falta?

Abstract

The ecology of stress is a part of the functional underpinning of ecology and integrate our un- destanding of the physiological and behavioral mechanisms, involved in the response of species to landscape challenges, as well as features of life history. In this review, I provide a synthesis on our knowledge of the physiological mechanisms used by guanacos to cope environmental challenges, which has the ultimate goal of developing a mechanistic conceptual framework that allows the integration of patterns and processes at individual/population physiological levels and apply it to understand the responses of guanacos in landscape dynamics and human activities, to promote a sustainable use of this resource.Fil: Ovejero Aguilar, Ramiro Jose Antonio.
