This study was conducted in forests of Polylepis located between 3 700 and 4 000 m above sea level. These ecosystems are threatened by fragmentation from deforestation. As fragmentation increases and the amount of remaining habitat decreases, the ecosystem diversity may be reduced. We selected three forest patches of Polylepis. In each patch we established a transect of 120 m divided into seven sampling sites. We captured 572 individuals belonging to eight species of the genus Drosophila. One of the patches had the highest abundance and greater diversity of fruit flies and plants. We did not capture cosmopolitan species in any of the patches, indicating that these forests are in good condition. However an alternative explanation could be t...
