Phylogeographic structure within the fiddler crabs Leptuca thayeri and Uca maracoani (Brachyura, Ocypodidae) along the tropical West Atlantic
(2022)
Most fiddler crabs have an extended planktonic larval phase, potentially maintaining gene flow among widely separated populations, in the absence of marine barriers. Such marine barriers could be long coastal stretches ...
Studying common-pool resources over time : a longitudinal case study of the Buen Hombre fishery in the Dominican Republic
(2016)
Like many small-scale fishing communities around the world, the community of Buen Hombre in the Dominican Republic is dealing with a set of challenges to reconcile its fishing activities with the ecology on which it depends. ...
Reefs from space : satellite imagery, marine ecology, and ethnography in the Dominican Republic
(1994)
Coral reef bleaching is an obvious indication that coastal marine ecosystems are being stressed. However, bleached reefs alone are poor indicators because they reflect the final stages of stress. This research project used ...
Site fidelity of a wintering Swainson’s Warbler in the Dominican Republic
(2000)
We document between-winter philopatry of a Swainson’s Warbler (Limnothylpis swainsonii) from the Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, southwestern Dominican Republic. An individual, previously captured on 10 November 1997, ...
How mangrove forests adjust to rising sea level
(2014)
Mangroves are among the most well described and widely studied wetland communities in the world. The greatest threats to mangrove persistence are deforestation and other anthropogenic disturbances that can compromise habitat ...
Hurricane impacts on a mangrove forest in the Dominican Republic : damage patterns and early recovery
(2006)
On 22 September 1998, Hurricane Georges passed over the Dominican Republic causing extensive damage to a 4700 ha mangrove forest that has been the site of a detailed study of vegetation and ecosystem dynamics since 1994. ...
Tropical montane vegetation dynamics near the upper cloud belt strongly associated with a shifting ITCZ and fire
(2022)
Tropical montane forests house unusual and diverse biota and are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, particularly near the trade wind inversion (TWI) – the upper end of the cloud belt that defines tropical ...
Spatial patterns of biomass and aboveground net primary productivity in a mangrove ecosystem in the Dominican Republic
(2003)
The objective of this study was to quantify spatial patterns in above and below ground biomass, primary productivity, and growth efficiency along a tidal gradient in a 4700-ha mangrove forest in the Dominican Republic. We ...
Small-scale disturbance and regeneration dynamics in a neotropical mangrove forest
(2000)
Mangrove forests are affected by a variety of natural disturbances that differ in scale, intensity and frequency. Small canopy gaps, although common, have not been well studied. We examined the role of lightning-created ...
Mangroves enhance reef fish abundance at the Caribbean regional scale
(2015)
Several studies conducted at the scale of islands, or small sections of continental coastlines, have suggested that mangrove habitats serve to enhance fish abundances on coral reefs, mainly by providing nursery grounds for ...
