“…Effect assessments of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season demonstrate its broad impact on ecosystems and their trophic levels; for example, beach, mangrove, and forest ecosystems (Barreto‐Orta et al, 2019; Hall et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2018; Walcker et al, 2019), salt and freshwater fish communities (Meléndez‐Vazquez et al, 2019; Neal et al, 2020), insect species and communities (Cabrera‐Asencio & Meléndez‐Ackerman, 2021), birds (Lloyd et al, 2019; Palmer et al, 2018), and sea slugs (Middlebrooks et al, 2020). For St. Eustatius specifically, our data add to the understanding of an ecosystem‐wide hurricane impact during 2017 which, besides iguanas, affected forests (Eppinga & Pucko, 2018), as well as populations of Bridled Quail‐dove (River‐Milan et al, 2021) and Red‐bellied racer (Madden et al, 2021).…”
