Abstract:Functional diversity quantifies the distribution and range of functional traits of species that influence ecosystem processes. We evaluated the functional diversity of the medium and large-sized mammals in a tropical rainforest in Southern Mexico to determine which landscape characteristics associated with human activities affected the composition of mammal functional diversity and functional group abundances. We used camera-traps to document the diversity and composition of medium and large-sized mammals at… Show more
