拉丁美洲体现了对生态研究特别感兴趣的国家，因为具有极大生物多样性价值的地区位于其领土内。这突出了对拉丁美洲区域的生态研究进行评估的重要性。我们评估了拉丁美洲研究人员在生态期刊上的科学参与度、国际合作模式，并确定了论文的主要特点。虽然拉丁美洲的出版物在14年里有所增加，但它们在《生态学》的出版物中所占比例高达9%。巴西在拉丁美洲的科学生产中领先，阿根廷和墨西哥紧随其后。总体而言，拉丁美洲的论文在大多数期刊的总出版物中所占比例很低，在高影响因子期刊中的比例尤其低。一半的拉丁美洲出版物有国际合作。被引用最多的文章有五位以上作者和国际合作的文章。描述性研究主要基于旧的理论，仍然是大多数，这表明生态学在拉丁美洲正处于发展阶段。
Latin America embodies countries of special interest for ecological studies, given that areas with great value for biodiversity are located within their territories. This highlights the importance of an evaluation of ecological research in the Latin America region. We assessed the scientific participation of Latin American researchers in ecological journals, patterns of international collaboration, and defined the main characteristics of the articles. Although Latin American publications have increased in fourteen years, they accounted up to 9% of publications in Ecology. Brazil leaded the scientific production in Latin America, followed by Argentina and Mexico. In general, Latin American articles represented a low percentage of most journals total publication, with particularly low expression in high impact-factor journals. A half of the Latin American publications had international collaboration. Articles with more than five authors and with international collaboration were the most cited. Descriptive studies, mainly based in old theories, are still majority, suggesting that Ecology is in a developing stage in Latin America.
