Cadeias sociobiológicas entre aves e árvores: uma abordagem estrutural para a troca de informações na biodiversidade do Monte Tláloc, Texcoco, México

Complex sociobiological systems, such as those established between birds and trees, are characterized by the exchange and distribution of information/energy through social interaction processes under stochastic conditions. While this particularity makes tracing these exchanges virtually impossible at the system-wide level, this networking represents an indicator of the system's level of organization and sustainability. Social network analysis was decided to be used in order to express these links, with the objective of identifying part of this social complexity established at a given organizational level between the avifauna and flora of a particular region. The willingness of birds to locate certain trees allowed us to suggest social affiliation actions, generate a bimodal adjacency matrix, measure these links, and allow us to observe specific actors, trees and birds, as key players in the concentration and/or transmission of information. It also allows us to hypothesize, collaterally, a vulnerability angle for the system itself. The disappearance of any of these species would impact the biotic and energetic framework of the forest. This could contribute as a tool in habitat management, highlighting the importance of analyzing and preserving the diversity and cohesion of a network of biotic interactions between different species.
