Habitat-species association in the Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus): a quantitative study of an endangered Caribbean mammal

Abstract

This study assesses the habitat associations of the solenodon using quantitative data. This is undertaken at two different scales within the Dominican Republic: in the buffer zone of the Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, in an area of fragmented forest and agriculture (local scale), and; across three protected areas and two additional external locations in the south-western and eastern Dominican Republic (national scale).
