Seasonal and interannual variation on social wasps’ assemblages in two habitats of a seasonally dry tropical forest region

Abstract

Approximately half of the tropical forests are seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs); they range from open scrub vegetation rich in succulent plants and deciduous trees to patches of mesic forests, particularly along rivers, mountain slopes, and peaks (Muscarella et al., 2019;Pennington et al., 2009;Prado, 2003). The specific characteristics of forests in different regions depend mainly on the historical length of dry periods and local conditions related to the
