Life‐history traits govern the habitat use of diverse amphibian assemblages in an agroforest landscape matrix

摘要: Agroforests are increasingly seen as ancillary conservation landscapes that effectively integrate production needs while sustaining biodiversity goals. The conservation potential of these land uses can be significantly improved by using evidence‐based management practices. In this study, we examine the community assembly of anuran amphibians and identify vulnerable species based on their life‐history traits across tea and coffee agroforests and non‐agricultural forest fragments in the Anamalai Hills of India. We conducted visual and auditory encounter surveys for amphibians along streams and terrestrial habitats. A modified joint species distribution model was used to examine the drivers of species richness, community composition and species co‐occurrence patterns. At the community level, mean species richness was greatest in forest fragments followed by coffee and least in tea agroforests. Community …
