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 ... -
A taxonomic revision of the Archipini of the Caribbean (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Tortricinae)
(2020)The Archipini fauna of the Caribbean is revised to include 33 species. Most previously described species occurring in the region are redescribed and figured, with 13 new species: Argyrotaenia brownisp. nov., A. crypticasp. ... -
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 ... -
Around the world in 26 million years : diversification and biogeography of pantropical Grass-yellow Eurema butterflies (Pieridae: Coliadinae)
(2025)Aim: Grass-yellow butterflies (Eurema) are a group of pantropical Pieridae distributed throughout Asia, Australasia, Africa and the New World. However, little is known about their diversification, including the biogeographic ... -
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 ... -
Diablotin Pterodroma hasitata : a biography of the endangered Black-capped Petrel
(2013)The Black-capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasitata), once believed extinct throughout much of the 20th century, is now critically endangered, with breeding populations confined to Hispaniola and possibly Cuba after being extirpated ... -
Endemic rodents of Hispaniola : biogeography and extinction timing during the Holocene
(2022)Highlights: - Nearly 70% of extinct native rodents from Hispaniola survived until the Late Holocene. - Body size of native rodents does not correlate with extinction timing. - Defaunation postdated climatic changes in 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 ... -
Fossil lizards from the Dominican Republic
(1965)This is a detailed investigation into the fossil record of lizard species from the Dominican Republic. This work marks a significant contribution to the study of the island's herpetofauna, focusing on extinct lizard species ... -
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 ... -
Historical biogeography of endemic seed plant genera in the Caribbean : Did GAARlandia play a role?
(2017)The Caribbean archipelago is a region with an extremely complex geological history and an outstanding plant diversity with high levels of endemism. The aim of this study was to better understand the historical assembly and ... -
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 ... -
La paleogeografía del Caribe y sus implicaciones para la biogeografía histórica
(2006)El trabajo presenta una serie de mapas paleogeográficos que ilustran la formación y evolución del Caribe desde el Triásico Tardío al presente y se discuten sus implicaciones biogeográficas. Se demuestra que el Caribe desde ... -
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 ... -
Phylogeography and genetic diversity of pantropical spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata) and other delphinids in the Caribbean
(2024)The pantropical spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata) is a cetacean species with a broad distribution encompassing tropical waters. However, this species can exhibit geographic variations in coloration and morphology. Such ...
