Interannual and seasonal climatic variability recorded by reef corals, Plio/Pleistocene (Florida) and Mio/Pliocene (Dominican Republic)
(2014)
In this study reef corals from two Caribbean and adjacent regions in different periods were investigated. Sclerochronological records of corals from well preserved Miocene to Pleistocene reefs were used to document potential ...
Phylogeographic structure within the fiddler crabs Leptuca thayeri and Uca maracoani (Brachyura, Ocypodidae) along the tropical West Atlantic
(2022)
Most fiddler crabs have an extended planktonic larval phase, potentially maintaining gene flow among widely separated populations, in the absence of marine barriers. Such marine barriers could be long coastal stretches ...

The Caribbean genus Pseudophoenix (Arecaceae) has its center of taxonomic diversity in Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic). Three species (P. ekmanii, P. lediniana, and P. vinifera) are restricted to this island. ...
Genetic diversity and differentiation of Pseudophoenix (Arecaceae) in Hispaniola
(2014)
Pseudophoenix ekmanii, P. lediniana and P. vinifera (Arecaceae) are endemic to Hispaniola. The more wide-ranging P. sargentii also occurs on the island. Population genetic diversity and structure of Pseudophoenix was ...

Entre septiembre 2010 a agosto 2013, en los municipios Bánica y Pedro Santana, en el suroeste de la República Dominicana, se realizaron observaciones de la floración de cuatro especies de interés apícola presentes en el ...
Discovery of a giant chameleon-like lizard (Anolis) on Hispaniola and its significance to understanding replicated adaptive radiations
(2016)
We report a new chameleon-like Anolis species from Hispaniola that is ecomorphologically similar to congeners found only on Cuba. Lizards from both clades possess short limbs and a short tail and utilize relatively narrow ...
