A preliminary report of ongoing research of the ecology of Black-capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasitata) in Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic – I: GPS tracking of breeding adults
(2019)
In the spring of 2018, we studied the foraging ecology of the Black-capped Petrel. The goal of this project was to gather fine-scale data on individual movements of Black-capped Petrels breeding in the Sierra de Bahoruco, ...
Pre-breeding behavior of Ridgway’s Hawks (Buteo ridgwayi) in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
(2023)
Abstract: Recent conservation work by The Peregrine Fund has established a translocated population of the Critically Endangered Ridgway’s Hawk (Buteo ridgwayi) in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Although Ridgway’s Hawk has ...
Cactus fruits may facilitate Village Weaver (Ploceus cucullatus) breeding in atypical habitat on Hispaniola
(2003)
The Village Weaver (Ploceus cucullatus) usually is found in moist areas, breeding near water during the rainy season. On Hispaniola I observed the Village Weaver breeding in the desert, despite a lack of rain, and consuming ...
Historical demography of bird populations from Hispaniola assessed by nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences
(2015)
Molecular markers can be used to infer the demographic history of a given species, but many historic processes simultaneously impact multiple species. Thus, comparative historical demography has the potential to provide ...
Avifauna asociada a humedales de la República Dominicana
(2018)
Para la República Dominicana, se estima que existen alrededor de 76 especies de aves acuáticas que viven en ecosistemas o asociados a los humedales. De estas especies 35 son migratorias, incluyendo ocho migratorias ...
Carry-over effects provide linkages across the annual cycle of a Neotropical migratory bird, the Louisiana Waterthrush Parkesia motacilla
(2015)
Population limitation models of migratory birds have sought to include impacts from events across the full annual cycle. Previous work has shown that events occurring in winter result in some individuals transitioning to ...
Avian community characteristics and demographics reveal how conservation value of regenerating tropical dry forest changes with forest age
(2018)
Expansion of secondary forests following the abandonment of agriculture may have important implications for bird conservation, but few studies have examined the dynamics of this process. We studied bird use of a chronosequence ...
Life-stage and sex influence Philornis ectoparasitism in a Neotropical woodpecker Melanerpes striatus with essential male parental care
(2023)
The nestlings of many Neotropical bird species suffer from Philornis (Diptera: Muscidae) ectoparasitism. Although nestlings are typically considered the intended targets, recent work indicates that Philornis infest adult ...
Predation of a Golden Swallow (Tachycineta euchrysea) nest by the Indian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) in the Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic
(2006)
Abstract: Golden Swallows (Tachycineta euchrysea) have recently been observed nesting on or near the ground. In May 2004 I observed an introduced Indian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) enter a recently depredated Golden ...
