Abstract:Efficient vs. structured biodiversity inventories: reptiles in a Mexican dry scrubland as a case study. Many sampling methods allow the study of species richness and diversity in biological communities, but it is not known whether a single method can determine both the number and diversity of species in an unbiased and efficient way. Here we assess whether the least biased and most efficient method to determine reptile species richness in a Mexican dry scrubland is also the best method to estimate species dive… Show more
