Taxonomic and functional diversity metrics have been used together to describe functional patterns through species richness in a given area or region. Many scientists have shown that these two metrics can be positively correlated; nevertheless, other studies have found the opposite. In either case, the usefulness of both metrics has helped to develop more reasoned conservation strategies in areas where biodiversity loss is occurring at an accelerated rate. In this study, we calculated metrics of both taxonomic and functional diversity in amphibian and reptile communities located in a variety of vegetation types (xeric scrub, pine forest, pine-oak forest, cloud forest, oak forest, and tropical dry forest) in the state of Durango.
