A comparison of populations of island and adjacent mainland species of Caribbean Selenops (Araneae: Selenopidae) spiders
(2010)The role of the landscape in structuring populations has been the focus of numerous studies, in particular, the extent to which islands provide opportunities for isolation, and the consistency of such an effect across ... -
A comparison of two sampling strategies to assess discomycete diversity in wet tropical forests
(2004)Most of the fungal diversity studies that have used a systematic collecting scheme have not included the discomycetes, so optimal sampling methods are not available for this group. In this study, I tested two sampling ... -
A first report on fish and turtle catch in Trudillé Jaragua National Park, Dominican Republic
(2010)First report of results of a study to collect information about fishing activity and turtles caught by fishers in Trudillé, Jaragua National Park, Dominican Republic. -
A new atlantasellid isopod (Asellota: Aselloidea) from the flooded coastal karst of the Dominican Republic (Hispaniola) : evidence for an exopod on a thoracic limb and biogeographical implications
(2001)A new representative of the thus far monotypic, Bermudan aselloid family Atlantasellidae is described from the freshwater layers of two coastal sinkholes on the south-west Dominican Republic, Hispaniola. Atlantasellus ... -
A new distribution record and a previously undocumented color pattern of the Hispaniolan Yellow Tree Frog, Osteopilus pulchrilineatus (Hylidae), in the Dominican Republic
(2021)This study documents a new locality record for the Hispaniolan Yellow Treefrog (Osteopilus pulchrilineatus) at Rancho de la Guardia, Hondo Valle, Elías Piña, Dominican Republic. A previously unrecorded coloration pattern ... -

A phylogeny of the genus Limia (Teleostei: Poeciliidae) suggests a single-lake radiation nested in a Caribbean-wide allopatric speciation scenario
(2021)The Caribbean is an important global biodiversity hotspot. Adaptive radiations there lead to many speciation events within a limited period and hence are particularly prominent biodiversity generators. A prime example are ... -
A replacement name for the Hispaniolan anole formerly referred to as Anolis chlorocyanus Duméril & Bibron, 1837
(2020)We provide a replacement name, Anolis callainus sp. nov., for the Hispaniolan anole species formerly referred to as Anolis chlorocyanus Duméril & Bibron, 1837. This is necessary because the syntypes of Anolis chlorocyanus ... -
A review of records of the Black-capped Petrel Pterodroma hasitata in the Caribbean Sea
(2019)The Black-capped Petrel Pterodroma hasitata is a pelagic seabird with a dangerously small population size. Remaining breeding sites are threatened by habitat loss, introduced predators, and direct harvesting. The species ... -
A review of trends in the energy use of biomass : the case of the Dominican Republic
