    • A new species of extinct Late Quaternary giant tortoise from Hispaniola 

      Turvey, Samuel T.; Almonte, Juan; Hansford, James; Scofield, R. Paul; Brocca, Jorge L.; Chapman, Sandra D. (2017)
      Insular giant tortoise diversity has been depleted by Late Quaternary extinctions, but the taxonomic status of many extinct populations remains poorly understood due to limited available fossil or subfossil material, ...

    • A new subspecies of hutia (Plagiodontia, Capromyidae, Rodentia) from southern Hispaniola 

      Turvey, Samuel T.; Hansford, James; Kennerley, Rosalind J.; Núñez-Miño, José M.; Brocca, Jorge L.; Young, Richard P. (2015)
      Continued uncertainty persists over the taxonomic status of many threatened Caribbean mammal populations. Recent molecular analysis has identified three genetically isolated allopatric hutia populations on Hispaniola that ...
