Abstract
The diversity of species of vertebrates associated with remnants of dry tropical forest in a system of extensive ranching in the department of Cordoba was analyzed. The samples were conducted in May 2011 during the season of intense precipitations of short duration, using different sampling methods according to the taxonomical group. Product of our samples, 90 species of vertebrates were documented, being the birds the best represented group with 46 species, followed by the mammals with 17 species, while the reptiles and amphibians were only presented 15 and 12 species respectively. We hypothesize that the variety of habitats present in the study area allows the establishment of a number of species for every taxonomic group which play important ecological roles, emphasizing the importance of the zone in terms of conservation of the vertebrate fauna for the region.
