	SHORT-TERM EFFECTS OF HURRICANE GILBERT ON TERRESTRIAL BIRD POPULATIONS ON JAMAICA
		After the hurricanes, the bullfinches were probably unable to find food in the sugar-cane dominated lowlands and, as our study suggests, it is likely that the montane fruit and seed crops were de- stroyed.
		Thus, hurricanes could contrib- ute to these avifaunal characteristics on Carib- bean islands by reducing the number of species surviving in montane habitats, increasing en- demism and extinction rates of montane spe- cies, and favoring the survival of species ca- pable of using a broad range of habitats.
		Hurricane Gilbert reached hurricane force on 10 September 1988 approximately 363 km southeast of the Dominican Republic.
