Tropical dry forests (TDFs) are not an exception, and the current management derived from human activities will clearly result in the complete loss of this habitat worldwide (Quesada and Stoner 2004; Miles et al. 2006; Quesada et al. 2009). The TDFs have been extensively transformed and occupied by urban and agricultural areas at signicantly higher rates than. © 2014 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
