Abstract: The Mississippi Kite (Ictinia mississippiensis) is a long distance migrant that breeds in North America and winters in South America. During fall and spring migration, they congregate in large flocks and follow ...
Breeding season ecology and behavior of Ridgway's Hawk (Buteo ridgwayi)
(1981)
Ridgway's Hawk (Buteo ridgwayi) is endemic to Hispaniola and its satellites, where it occurs in a wide variety of habitats. We studied this hawk in the wet limestone karst forest of the Dominican Republic between January ...
Colonization of Hispaniola by Margarops fuscatus Vieillot (Pearly-eyed Thrasher)
(2019)
Margarops fuscatus (Pearly-eyed Thrasher) is the Caribbean’s premier avian supertramp. Concurrent with urban development, it continues to expand its geographical and habitat range throughout the region, especially in the ...
Population genetics and relatedness in a critically endangered island raptor, Ridgway's Hawk Buteo ridgwayi
(2013)
Many island avian populations are of conservation interest because they have a higher risk of extinction than mainland populations. Susceptibility of island birds to extinction is primarily related to human induced change ...
Breeding ecology and predictors of nest success in the Critically Endangered Ridgway’s Hawk Buteo ridgwayi
(2015)
Ridgway’s Hawk Buteo ridgwayi is a Critically Endangered forest raptor endemic to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. The species is currently limited to a small area on the north-east coast of the island, with fewer ...
Nestling sex ratio in a critically endangered dimorphic raptor, Ridgway's Hawk (Buteo ridgwayi)
(2013)
[English] Variation in nestling sex ratio is an important concept in population ecology, and has particular implications for the conservation status of small populations. Research on species exhibiting Reversed Sexual Size ...
Social and genetic mating system of Ridgway's hawk (Buteo ridgwayi), an endemic raptor on Hispaniola
(2013)
Patterns of social organization and mating systems have been shown to be functions of ecological factors such as resource allocation and breeding density. In some species, particularly birds, social organization and genetic ...

Comments on the ecology and status of the Hispaniolan Crossbill (Loxia leucoptera megaplaga), with recommendations for its conservation
(1994)
The rare and unique Hispaniolan White-winged Crossbill (Loxia Ieucoptera megaplaga) is endemic to the mountains of Hispaniola. It is specialized for harvesting seeds from the cones of Pinus occidentals, and is dependent ...
A hierarchical analysis of nesting and foraging habitat for the conservation of the Hispaniolan White-winged crossbill (Loxia leucoptera megaplaga)
(2000)
Little is known about habitat use by the endemic Hispaniolan White-winged crossbill (Loxia leucoptera megaplaga), in part because of its small population size and wandering tendencies; before this study only a single nest ...
