Colonization of Hispaniola by Margarops fuscatus Vieillot (Pearly-eyed Thrasher)
(2019)
Margarops fuscatus (Pearly-eyed Thrasher) is the Caribbean’s premier avian supertramp. Concurrent with urban development, it continues to expand its geographical and habitat range throughout the region, especially in the ...
Population genetics and relatedness in a critically endangered island raptor, Ridgway's Hawk Buteo ridgwayi
(2013)
Many island avian populations are of conservation interest because they have a higher risk of extinction than mainland populations. Susceptibility of island birds to extinction is primarily related to human induced change ...
Breeding ecology and predictors of nest success in the Critically Endangered Ridgway’s Hawk Buteo ridgwayi
(2015)
Ridgway’s Hawk Buteo ridgwayi is a Critically Endangered forest raptor endemic to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. The species is currently limited to a small area on the north-east coast of the island, with fewer ...
Nestling sex ratio in a critically endangered dimorphic raptor, Ridgway's Hawk (Buteo ridgwayi)
(2013)
[English] Variation in nestling sex ratio is an important concept in population ecology, and has particular implications for the conservation status of small populations. Research on species exhibiting Reversed Sexual Size ...
Social and genetic mating system of Ridgway's hawk (Buteo ridgwayi), an endemic raptor on Hispaniola
(2013)
Patterns of social organization and mating systems have been shown to be functions of ecological factors such as resource allocation and breeding density. In some species, particularly birds, social organization and genetic ...
Genetic patterns in Neotropical Magnolias (Magnoliaceae) using de novo developed microsatellite markers
(2019)
Conserving tree populations safeguards forests since they represent key elements of the ecosystem. The genetic characteristics underlying the evolutionary success of the tree growth form: high genetic diversity, extensive ...
The Red List of Magnoliaceae : revised and extended
(2016)
The Red List of Magnoliaceae aims to stimulate conservation action for Magnolia species under threat. The Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) and the Global Trees campaign work with botanic gardens and other ...

(2013)
The twin objectives of this study are to refine our understanding of the changes in mangrove area in the Dominican Republic over the period of rapid tourist expansion and to assess if mangrove forests in tourist locations ...
The Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) from late Quaternary underwater cave deposits in the Dominican Republic
(2018)
Late Quaternary fossils representing a locally extinct population of the Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) are reported from two underwater caves in the Dominican Republic. A large fossil sample of C. rhombifer, from ...
Revision of the Drosophila bromeliae species group (Diptera, Drosophilidae) : Central American, Caribbean, and Andean species
(2016)
Species in the Drosophila bromeliae group visit flowers, where most or all of the species probably breed. They are not collected in significant numbers. The group has thus far included five Neotropical species: aguape Val ...
