Cumulative effects of high intensity hurricanes on herpetofaunal assemblages along a tropical dry forest chronosequence

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

If combined with anthropogenic disturbances and global climatic change, hurricanes may lead to major effects on animal populations and assemblages. The combined effects of cumulative natural and human disturbances on vertebrates have been little studied. There is evidence that herpetofaunal assemblages are sensitive in species richness, abundance, and diversity to anthropogenic and natural disturbances, or to thei...
