Forest baseline and deforestation map of the Dominican Republic through the analysis of time series of MODIS data
(2015)Deforestation is one of the major threats to habitats in the Dominican Republic. In this work we present a forest baseline for the year 2000 and a deforestation map for the year 2011. Maps were derived from Moderate ... -
Forest change within and outside protected areas in the Dominican Republic, 2000-2016
(2019)[English] We used Landsat-based estimates of tree cover change to document the loss and gain of forest in the Dominican Republic between 2000 and 2016. Overall, 2,795 km2 of forest were lost, with forest gain occurring on ... -
Forest fires in the insular Caribbean
(2008)This paper presents a summary of the forest fire reports in the insular Caribbean derived from both management reports and an analysis of publicly available Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrodiometer (MODIS) satellite ... -
Forest loss and fire in the Dominican Republic during the 21st Century
(2019)[English] [Preprint] We used Landsat-based estimates of tree cover change to document the loss and gain of forest in the Dominican Republic between 2000 and 2016. Overall, 2,795 km 2 of forest were lost, with forest gain ... -
Forest restoration in the Dominican Republic : how I got the birds to work for me
(2017)Birds’ ability to fly long distances and visit a variety of habitats in a relatively short period of time makes them great seed dispersers from the perspective of the plant, and these two groups have evolved a mutualism ... -
Forests and landscapes of Dominican Republic
(2015)Aims: This, in conjunction with the diversity of the substrates and the fact that the island is home to the highest mountains in the Caribbean and with a high rate of endemic species, allows them to be differentiated into ... -
Free-swimming fauna associated with influxes of pelagic sargassum : implications for management and harvesting
(2023)Mass accumulations of pelagic sargassum (Sargassum natans and S. fluitans) in the Tropical Atlantic, across the Caribbean and off the coast of West Africa, are causing extensive ecological and socioeconomic harm. The ... -
Freshwater microcrustaceans of Hispaniola : new records and potential as biological control agents
(2024)[English] Some species of freshwater microcrustaceans have been widely used for biological control of mosquito larval populations. These zooplankton communities play an important role against some species of mosquitoes by ... -

Gender and shifting population trends in protected areas in the Dominican hinterlands : the implications of female outmigration for conservation in the Cordillera Central
(2001)This document investigates skewed sex-ratios favoring males and explores how gender analysis can provide an opening into a broader and more in-depth understanding of the conservation process in the Hispaniolan Pine ecoregion ... -
