Insights from a new high-resolution drought atlas for the Caribbean spanning 1950–2016
(2017)
Climate change is expected to increase the severity and frequency of drought in the Caribbean. Understanding drought variability and its trends is therefore critical for improving resiliency and adaptation capacity of this ...
Exacerbation of the 2013–2016 Pan-Caribbean drought by anthropogenic warming
(2018)
The Caribbean islands are expected to see more frequent and severe droughts from reduced precipitation and increased evaporative demand due to anthropogenic climate change. Between 2013 and 2016, the Caribbean experienced ...

Human and hutia (Isolobodon portoricensis) interactions in pre-Columbian Hispaniola : the isotopic and morphological evidence
(2021)
Highlights: Bone collagen carbon (∂13C) values of some hutia suggest commensal diets with humans. Raised carbon (∂13C) values suggest that some hutia consumed C4 plants, likely maize. There is no evidence suggesting hutia ...
Historical demography of bird populations from Hispaniola assessed by nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences
(2015)
Molecular markers can be used to infer the demographic history of a given species, but many historic processes simultaneously impact multiple species. Thus, comparative historical demography has the potential to provide ...
