Changes in the structure of assemblages of Liolaemus (Liolaemidae: Liolaemus) lizards in a protected area of south-central Chile affected by a mixed-severity wildfire
The use of space by sympatric lizards was assessed in a protected area in south central Chile that was affected by a wildfire three years prior. Through systematic monitoring in plots with varying degrees of severity, the abundance of species was counted in each treatment (low severity, medium sever...
