Phytosociological study, diversity and conservation status of the cloud forest in the Dominican Republic
(2020)
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 ...
Fungal Planet description sheets: 1284–1382
(2021)
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries, including the Dominican Republic.
Habitat modelling locates nesting areas of the endangered Black-capped Petrel Pterodroma hasitata on Hispaniola and identifies habitat loss
(2020)
[English] The Black-capped Petrel or Diablotin Pterodroma hasitata has a fragmented and declining population estimated at c.1,000 breeding pairs. On land, the species nests underground in steep ravines with dense understorey ...
El género Solierella en las Antillas (Hymenoptera: Apoidea, Crabronidae)
(2021)
[Español] El género Solierella comprende avispas depredadoras de pequeño a mediano tamaño, las cuales no han sido debidamente estudiadas en el Neotrópico. En este trabajo se revisa el género para las Antillas, con la adición ...
Assessing and genotyping threatened staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis nurseries during restoration in southeast Dominican Republic
(2020)
Acropora cervicornis is a structurally and functionally important Caribbean coral species. Since the 1980s, it has suffered drastic population losses with no signs of recovery and has been classified as a critically ...
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 ...
Spatial distribution of bat species on Hispaniola island, the Greater Antilles
(2022)
Hispaniola shows the highest environmental heterogeneity among the Greater Antilles mainly due to its complex land relief, encompassing a high ecosystemic heterogeineity, and bats as one o the most representative group of ...
The oldest known record of a ground sloth (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Folivora) from Hispaniola: evolutionary and paleobiogeographical implications
(2021)
[English] Sloths were among the most diverse groups of land vertebrates that inhabited the Greater Antilles until their extinction in the middle-late Holocene following the arrival of humans to the islands. Although the ...
Stable isotopes reveal seasonal dietary responses to agroforestry in a venomous mammal, the Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus)
(2022)
While trends in tropical deforestation are alarming, conservation biologists are increasingly recognizing the potential for species survival in human-modified landscapes. Identifying the factors underlying such persistence, ...
Assessing congruence of opportunistic records and systematic surveys for predicting Hispaniolan mammal species distributions
(2020)
Comparative assessment of the relative information content of different independent spatial data types is necessary to evaluate whether they provide congruent biogeographic signals for predicting species ranges. Opportunistic ...
