This knowledge is fundamental to develop a predictive science of biotic interactions which are the backbone of ecological processes, critical for human wellbeing, like pollination and seed dispersal. In the current pace of global change this understanding is relevant to conservation efforts, especially in systems like Yanacocha that hold several threatened species like the Black-breasted Puffleg which is an important pollinator for several plants.
