Short-term hurricane impacts on a neotropical community of marked birds and implications for early-stage community resilience.

Populations in fragmented ecosystems risk extirpation through natural disasters, which must be endured rather than avoided. Managing communities for resilience is thus critical, but details are sketchy about the capacity for resilience and its associated properties in vertebrate communities. We stud...
