- Observation Of the species recorded, 28 are endemic to the island.
- Association Species richness was highest in the dry open habitat (72 species).
- Association The number of endemic species was highest in the dry open habitat (20 endemics).
- Association Species richness in the wet open habitat (60 species) followed the dry open habitat.
- Association The wet open habitat (7 endemics) followed the dry open habitat in number of endemics.
- Association Closed habitat had the lowest species number (14 species).
- Association Closed habitat had a higher endemism rate, with 7 endemic species.
