Phylogenetic analysis of ecological and morphological diversification in Hispaniolan trunk‐ground anoles (Anolis cybotes group)
(2003)
Anolis lizards in the Greater Antilles partition the structural microhabitats available at a given site into four to six distinct categories. Most microhabitat specialists, or ecomorphs, have evolved only once on each ...

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 ...
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 ...
Additional notes on the wintering status of Swainson's Warbler in the Dominican Republic

A new atlantasellid isopod (Asellota: Aselloidea) from the flooded coastal karst of the Dominican Republic (Hispaniola) : evidence for an exopod on a thoracic limb and biogeographical implications
(2001)
A new representative of the thus far monotypic, Bermudan aselloid family Atlantasellidae is described from the freshwater layers of two coastal sinkholes on the south-west Dominican Republic, Hispaniola. Atlantasellus ...
Agriculture, environmental services and agro-tourism in the Dominican Republic
(2004)
This paper analyzes the links between agriculture and tourism. A contingent valuation study assesses tourist's willingness to pay (WTP) for agro-tourism and agriculture's positive environmental services and related positive ...
Avian research, monitoring, and conservation in the Dominican Republic
(2004)
Abstract: I report on some of the recent and current research efforts in the Dominican Republic, including those of Joseph Wunderle on coffee plantations, Steven Latta on migratory birds, and Christopher Rimmer on Bicknell's ...
