Résumé du document : |
|
The West Indian herpetofauna has experienced the impact of human,activity for about 5000 years. In that span of time, but primarily with the arrival of Europeans about 500 years ago, humans have introduced a wide range of resources that have been exploited to various degrees by frogs and reptiles. Coconut palms, banana, cacao, coffee trees, introduced rodents, and even buildings have been exploited extensively. Complex habitats are used more frequently than those simplified by man. Introduced orchard trees may simulate some elements of natural vegetation patterns, but habitats associated with clear-cutting are rarely used. Lizards and snakes are more likely to exploit introduced resources, and the herpetofauna of smaller islands (Bahamas, Lesser Antilles) tends to use introduced resources more often than that of larger islands. Lizards, especially of the genera Anolis and Ameiva, use introduced resources for a wide range of activities (retreats, basking and foraging sites, social interactions), and coconut palms, edifices, and human debris are especially adaptable for these activities. Despite the wide use of human-introduced resources by some members of the West Indian herpetofauna, only 5-10 % of this fauna has benefitted directly from anthropogenic activity, whereas at least half has been negatively impacted. Biologists should study the West Indian herpetofauna in a variety of situations, including those modified (subtlely to flagrantly) by human activity.
