First record of the fireworm Hermodice carunculata preying on colonies of the threatened staghorn coral Acropora Cervicornis in the southeastern outplanting sites of the Dominican Republic
(2017)
[English] Several fireworms Hermodice carunculata (Pallas, 1766) were observed feeding on coral colonies or transplanted fragments of the threatened staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis (Lamarck, 1816), in outplanting sites ...
The impact of tourism on rural livelihoods in the Dominican Republic's coastal areas
(2007)
Tourism has rapidly grown in the Dominican Republic in recent years. This paper evaluates the impact of tourism on rural livelihoods through a survey conducted in 23 coastal communities covering a range of tourism levels ...
A coalescent-based estimator of genetic drift, and acoustic divergence in the Pteronotus parnellii species complex
(2019)
Determining the processes responsible for phenotypic variation is one of the central tasks of evolutionary biology. While the importance of acoustic traits for foraging and communication in echolocating mammals suggests ...
Mortality of an adult Antillean Palm Swift (Tachornis phoenicobia) associated with Philornis sp. parasitism in the Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic
(2023)
[English] The ecological importance of avian myiasis caused by fly (Diptera) larvae, especially in the genus Philornis, remains poorly understood. One major gap in our knowledge is which bird species experience such ...
Linking breeding and wintering grounds of Bicknell's Thrushes using stable isotope analyses of feathers
(2001)
Previous studies have shown that natural abundance of deuterium (D), and to a lesser extent, in feathers of migrant songbirds in North America can be used to infer geographic origins of molt. We used that approach to ...
A winter distribution model for Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus bicknelli), a conservation tool for a threatened migratory songbird
(2013)
Conservation planning and implementation require identifying pertinent habitats and locations where protection and management may improve viability of targeted species. The winter range of Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus ...
Assessing conservation status of resident and migrant birds on Hispaniola with mist-netting
(2016)
We analyzed temporal trends in mist-net capture rates of resident (n = 8) and overwintering Nearctic-Neotropical migrant (n = 3) bird species at two sites in montane broadleaf forest of the Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican ...
Ancient differentiation in the single-island avian radiation of endemic Hispaniolan chat-tanagers (Aves: Calyptophilus)
(2007)
The simple geographic structure of island systems often makes them tractable for studies of the patterns and processes of biological diversification. The Calyptophilus chat-tanagers of Hispaniola are of general evolutionary ...
