Diversity and conservation status of mangrove communities in two areas of Mesocaribea biogeographic region
(2018)
The study of mangrove communities (Avicennia germinans, Conocarpus erectus, Laguncularia racemosa and Rhyzophora mangle) in Central America reveals a total diversity of 121 species included in 7 plant communities, of which ...
A study on the mangrove formations of the Neotropical-Austroamerican Kingdom
(2020)
According to the most recent literature, although very few plant species are characteristic of American mangrove formations, to date over 30 plant associations, including three orders, seven alliances, and three phytosociological ...
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 ...
Assessing Magnoliaceae through time : major global efforts to track extinction risk status and ex situ conservation
(2023)
Comprehensive Red List assessments act as valuable resources for informing protected area designations, national protected species legislation and action strategies, and international biodiversity agreements, yet they are ...
Echinoderm diversity in the Caribbean Sea
(2011)
The Caribbean is considered a unique biogeographic province, being one of the top five hotspots in the world for marine and terrestrial biodiversity. The echinoderm research on the Caribbean began in the middle of the ...
Marine biodiversity in the Caribbean : regional estimates and distribution patterns
(2010)
This paper provides an analysis of the distribution patterns of marine biodiversity and summarizes the major activities of the Census of Marine Life program in the Caribbean region. The coastal Caribbean region is a large ...
Ongoing declines for the world’s amphibians in the face of emerging threats
(2023)
Systematic assessments of species extinction risk at regular intervals are necessary for informing conservation action. Ongoing developments in taxonomy, threatening processes and research further underscore the need for ...
Definition of the Caribbean Islands biogeographic region, with checklist and recommendations for standardized common names of amphibians and reptiles
(2019)
To facilitate biological study we define “Caribbean Islands” as a biogeographic region that includes the Antilles, the Bahamas, and islands bordering Central and South America separated from mainland areas by at least 20 ...
Phylogeography of the Caribbean rock iguana (Cyclura) : implications for conservation and insights on the biogeographic history of the West Indies
(2000)
The Caribbean rock iguana, Cyclura, has had an unstable intrageneric taxonomy and an unclear phylogenetic position within the family Iguanidae. We use mtDNA sequence data to address these issues and explore the phylogeographic ...
First comprehensive insights into the biogeography of the Caribbean intertidal oribatid mite fauna (Ameronothroidea)
(2021)
A decade ago the Caribbean was almost completely uncharted in terms of intertidal ameronothroid mites. Now the present data show that these organisms are a common component of the fauna of Caribbean shorelines. Two families ...
