Resumen:

Tropical dry forests (TDFs) cover 42% of the world?s tropical ecosystems (Murphy and Lugo 1995), with extensive coverage in Latin America. More than 50% of all TDFs occur in South America, and about 15% occur in Mexico and Central America (Miles et al. 2006). Due to their high biological diversity and rapid loss through deforestation, TDFs have evinced increased scientic interest in the last decades (Murphy and Lugo 1986, 1995; Janzen 1988;. © 2014 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
