(2000)
Little is known about habitat use by the endemic Hispaniolan White-winged crossbill (Loxia leucoptera megaplaga), in part because of its small population size and wandering tendencies; before this study only a single nest ...

Island-to-island vicariance, founder-event and within-area speciation : the biogeographal history of the Antillattus clade (Salticidae: Euophryini)
(2022)
The Caribbean Archipelago is a biodiversity hotspot that plays a key role in developing our understanding of how dispersal ability affects species formation. In island systems, species with intermediate dispersal abilities ...

(2017)
Recent paleontological collection in submerged caves in the eastern Dominican Republic has yielded new specimens of Antillothrix bernensis. Here we describe a complete cranium of an adult individual (MHD 20) and provide ...
Mitogenomic sequences support a north–south subspecies subdivision within Solenodon paradoxus
