HerpetologicalData {RSE}

Abundance of herpetofauna in the conserved and human disturbed areas of Mexico (Suazo-Ortuno et al. 2008)

Description

Suazo-Ortuno et al. (2008) studied how the conversion of tropical forest to agricultural mosaic influenced herpetofaunal distribution and community structure in conserved and human disturbed forest areas of neotropical Mexico.

Therefore, the dataset used here, the first and second columns represented species abundance in the conserved and disturbed areas, respectively.
