A new subspecies of hutia (Plagiodontia, Capromyidae, Rodentia) from southern Hispaniola
(2015)Continued uncertainty persists over the taxonomic status of many threatened Caribbean mammal populations. Recent molecular analysis has identified three genetically isolated allopatric hutia populations on Hispaniola that ... -
Advances in the knowledge of the vegetation of Hispaniola (Caribbean Central America)
(2018)The vegetation types and floristic diversity in the Dominican Republic are analysed, a territory with a tropical climate and ombrotypes that range from dry to humid-hyperhumid, due to the Atlantic winds and the phenomenon ... -
Bioclimatic map of the Dominican Republic
(2012)The location of the Dominican Republic between parallels 17° and 19° north means it has a tropical macroclimate. The Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti belong to the island of Hispaniola, which has three bioclimates: ... -
Biogeografía de la sección Cymbostemon (Illicium, Schisandraceae) en el Nuevo Mundo
(2018)[Español] Illicium es un genero de la familia Schisandraceae (Angiospermas Basales), nativo del Sudeste Asiático, del Viejo Mundo, las Indias Occidentales, el Caribe mexicano y el sudeste de Estados Unidos, en el Nuevo ... -
Contribution to the biogeography of the Hispaniola (Dominican Republic, Haiti)
(2010)This paper, which deals with the geological history of Hispaniola in the general framework of Central America and particularly the Caribbean Sea, aims at revealing the influence of it on other areas. The paper studies the ... -
Establishment of biogeographic areas by distributing endemic flora and habitats (Dominican Republic, Haiti R.)
(2012)Despite the large number of botanical studies conducted on the flora of the Island of Hispaniola, some of which adopted a floristic or physiognomical approach with a phytosociological methodology, only few have adopted ... -
Evolutionary rate shifts in coding and regulatory regions underpin repeated adaptation to sulfidic streams in poeciliid fishes
(2024)Adaptation to extreme environments often involves the evolution of dramatic physiological changes. To better understand how organisms evolve these complex phenotypic changes, the repeatability and predictability of evolution, ... -
Extinction and biogeography in the Caribbean : new evidence from a fossil riodinid butterfly in Dominican amber
(2004)We describe a new species of extinct riodinid butterfly, Voltinia dramba, from Oligo-Miocene Dominican amber (15-25 Myr ago). This appears to be the first butterfly to be taxonomically described from amber, and the first ... -
Historical biogeography of endemic plants in the Caribbean and Podocarpus as a case study
(2019)Despite numerous floristic studies of the Caribbean region, the large-scale evolutionary origins of its diversity remain relatively under-explored. Here, I add to the empirical knowledge of the origin and assembly of the ... -
Insularidad, anolis, ecología y evolución
(1986)Este texto analiza los trabajos de zoogeografía que se han realizado en islas, debiddo a su extensión y faunas limitadas y mayor probabilidad de separar los diversos factores que afectan la distribución de los animales. ... -
Molecular phylogenetic studies of Caribbean palms (Arecaceae) and their relationships to biogeography and conservation
(2008)The Caribbean Islands are one of the world’s 34 biodiversity hotspots, remarkable for its biological richness and the high level of threat to its flora and fauna. The palms (family Arecaceae) are well represented in the ... -
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 ... -
Population history of the Hispaniolan hutia Plagiodontia aedium (Rodentia: Capromyidae) : testing the model of ancient differentiation on a geotectonically complex Caribbean island
(2012)Hispaniola is a geotectonically complex island consisting of two palaeo-islands that docked c. 10 Ma, with a further geological boundary subdividing the southern palaeo-island into eastern and western regions. All three ... -
Rain forests in subtropical mountains of Dominican Republic
(2014)This article presents a study of the cloud forest dominated by the Prestoea montana (R. Graham) Nichols. This is a hyperhumid forest located in ravines and shaded areas with cloud condensation, and at heights ranging from ... -
The cloud forest in the Dominican Republic : diversity and conservation status
(2019)The study of the forest in rainy environments of the Dominican Republic reveals the presence of four types of vegetation formations, clearly differentiated from each other in terms of their floristic and biogeographical ... -
The herpetogeography of Hispaniola, West Indies
(1980)The modern West Indian island of Hispaniola is in actuality a fusion of two formerly separate islands, each of which presumably supported a distinctive herpetofauna. With the union of these two paleoislands, there has been ... -
The rock iguanas of Parque Nacional Isla Cabritos
(2005)If you want to see two species of West Indian Rock Iguanas (Cyclura spp.) in natural habitat at the same time, your only choice of destinations is the Dominican Republic (DR). The DR shares the island of Hispaniola with ...
