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)
Whale watching has been hailed by environmental non-governmental organizations like Greenpeace and the International Fund for Animal Welfare as a responsible form of tourism that has the potential to enhance conservation ...
Let's wait for the evening : nocturnal copulation in a tropical damselfly Phylolestes ethelae (Odonata, Synlestidae)
(2024)
Sexual selection is one of the main causes of the diversity of reproductive behaviours observed intra- and interspecifically. Here we study the reproductive behaviour of a unique species, Phylolestes ethelae, the only ...

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
(2017)
Solenodons are insectivores found only in Hispaniola and Cuba, with a Mesozoic divergence date versus extant mainland mammals. Solenodons are the oldest lineage of living eutherian mammal for which a mitogenome sequence ...
An update on the distribution of threatened odonate species from the Greater Antilles
(2015)
The Antilles harbour several island endemic odonate species, including some palaeoendemics, within a relatively small and anthropized area. Such attributes give this archipelago a special significance for the conservation ...
