Biodiversité Animale

1 Introduction Animal behavior has been subject to variable environmental conditions following daily, annual, seasonal, and even lunar periodicities (Bennie et al. 2014; Halle and Stenseth 2000). The variations in the conditions in which they must live and adapt may constrain animals to structure their behavior in both space and time (Erkert and Cramer 2006).

1 Introduction The loss of tropical dry forests is a global challenge with profound environmental and humanitarian consequences (Seymour and Harris 2019). These ecosystems are essential for mitigating climate instability, preserving biodiversity, and supporting the well-being of human communities (Janzen 1988; Houghton 1990; Chakravarty et al. 2012). Tropical dry forests are found across Latin America, the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Oceania (Miles et al.
