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 ...
Nuevo jardín botánico en la República Dominicana
(2022)
Llenos de orgullo anunciamos a través de esta prestigiosa revista Moscosoa, el nacimiento del nuevo jardín botánico, establecido en la comunidad de Jacagua, en la zona norte del municipio de Santiago de los Caballeros.
Evolutionary rate shifts in coding and regulatory regions underpin repeated adaptation to sulfidic streams in poeciliid fishes
(2024)
Adaptation to extreme environments often involves the evolution of dramatic physiological changes. To better understand how organisms evolve these complex phenotypic changes, the repeatability and predictability of evolution, ...
Assessment of soil heavy metal pollution and the ecological risk in an agricultural area from Sánchez Ramírez province, Dominican Republic
(2024)
Heavy metal pollution in agricultural soils is one of the main problems in agricultural production worldwide, which threatens human health and the environment. To evaluate the pollution levels of heavy metals and the ...
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 ...
Mangrove deforestation in the Dominican Republic, 1969 to 2012
(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 ...
Projected hydroclimate changes on Hispaniola Island through the 21st century in CMIP6 models
(2021)
Climate change might increase the frequency and severity of longer-lasting drought in the Caribbean, including in Hispaniola Island. Nevertheless, the hydroclimate changes projected by the state-of-the-art earth system ...
Nature and distribution of beach ridges on the islands of the Greater Caribbean
(2024)
Beach ridges originate from various depositional processes and occur in a variety of settings. This paper assesses their nature and distribution on the islands of the Greater Caribbean based on a literature review and the ...
Past disturbances and local conditions influence the recovery rates of coral reefs
(2024)
Corals are being increasingly subjected to marine heatwaves. Theory suggests that increasing the intensity of disturbances reduces recovery rates, which inspired us to examine the recovery rates of coral cover following ...
Changes in extreme temperature and precipitationin the Caribbean region, 1961–2010
(2014)
A workshop was held at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, in May 2012 to build capacity in climate data rescue and to enhance knowledge about climate change in the Caribbean region. Scientists brought their daily ...
