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 ...
Island-to-island vicariance, founder-event and within-area speciation : the biogeographal history of the Antillattus clade (Salticidae: Euophryini)
(2022)
The Caribbean Archipelago is a biodiversity hotspot that plays a key role in developing our understanding of how dispersal ability affects species formation. In island systems, species with intermediate dispersal abilities ...
The Amazon sailfin catfish Pterygoplichthys pardalis (Siluriformes: Loricariidae), a new exotic species established in the Dominican Republic
(2020)
Abstract: The correct identity and occurrence of the introduced armored catfish, locally known as “devil fish” or “pleco” in the Dominican Republic, is briefly described. Specimens were collected from six sites in the ...
Let's wait for the evening : nocturnal copulation in a tropical damselfly Phylolestes ethelae (Odonata, Synlestidae)
(2024)
Sexual selection is one of the main causes of the diversity of reproductive behaviours observed intra- and interspecifically. Here we study the reproductive behaviour of a unique species, Phylolestes ethelae, the only ...
An integrative study of species distribution modelling and conservation genetics : Magnolia in Hispaniola
(2023)
On the island of Hispaniola, five endemic species of Magnolia occur, all of which are threatened with extinction. Little is known about their distribution and genetic health, hampering targeted conservation actions. The ...

Studies in the Panaeolus papilionaceus complex (Agaricales, Galeropsidaceae) : two new species discovered in the Dominican Republic and Australia
(2024)
Dominican and Australian collections morphologically assignable to the “Panaeolus papilionaceus complex” were studied using morphological and molecular (nrITS) data. Two new species are described: P. pantropicalis from the ...
Fungus flora of the Dominican Republic. IX. Some unrecorded polyporoid, corticioid and clavarioid fungi
(2024)
Two polyporoid (Heterobasidion irregulare, Perenniporia inflexibilis), two corticioid (Eichleriella tenuicula, Stecchericium seriatum) and five clavarioid (Clavulinopsis corniculata, Phaeoclavulina eumorpha, Phaeoclavulina ...
Second report of coprinoid fungi (Psathyrellaceae, Agaricales) in the Dominican Republic
(2024)
Continuing the study of coprinoid fungi of the Dominican Republic (see Angelini, Voto & Alvarado 2023), two more taxa are reported with morphological and molecular data: Coprinopsis nivea, with a peculiar set of spore ...
Pleistocene aridification underlies the evolutionary history of the Caribbean endemic, insular, giant Consolea (Opuntioideae)
(2021)
Premise: The Caribbean islands are in the top five biodiversity hotspots on the planet; however, the biogeographic history of the seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) there is poorly studied. Consolea consists of nine ...
