(2004)
In late 2002, the IUCN Iguana Specialist Group held a workshop in Santo Domingo to develop a species recovery plan for Ricord’s Iguana (Cyclura ricordii) in the Dominican Republic. In fulfillment of one of the objectives ...
Podocarpus in the palaeogeographically complex island of Hispaniola : a stepping-stone colonization and conservation recommendations
(2022)
Hispaniola is the second largest island in the Caribbean and a hot spot of biodiversity. The island was formed by the fusion of a northern and southern palaeoislands during the mid-Miocene (15 Ma). The historical split of ...
Street-level green spaces support a key urban population of the threatened Hispaniolan parakeet Psittacara chloropterus
(2021)
While urbanisation remains a major threat to biodiversity, urban areas can sometimes play an important role in protecting threatened species, especially exploited taxa such as parrots. The Hispaniolan Parakeet Psittacara ...
The multidimensional (and contrasting) effects of environmental warming on a group of montane tropical lizards
(2022)
Mountains are cradles for biodiversity and crucibles for climate-driven species loss, particularly for tropical ectotherms. Constriction on activity and amplified heat stress are two key sources of warming-driven vulnerability ...
The Golden Swallow Project (Proyecto Golondrina Verde) : Hispaniolan & Jamaican Golden Swallows
(2013)
Aerial insectivore species in the Greater Antilles of the Caribbean are almost completely absent from the scientific literature. The paucity of work being conducted on this guild makes broad-scale and comparative population ...
Historical decline and probable extinction of the Jamaican Golden Swallow Tachycineta euchrysea euchrysea
(2013)
The endemic Jamaican subspecies of the Golden Swallow Tachycineta euchrysea euchrysea has been rare and locally distributed since its discovery in 1847. By the 1950s, its geographic range had contracted to a small region ...
Nests and nesting behavior of Golden Swallow (Tachycineta euchrysea) in abandoned bauxite mines in the Dominican Republic
(2008)
Little information is available on nesting of Golden Swallow (Tachycineta euchrysea), a threatened species that occurs only on the island of Hispaniola. We report on six nests discovered and monitored in abandoned bauxite ...
Growth dynamics of the threatened Caribbean staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis: influence of host genotype, symbiont identity, colony size, and environmental setting
(2014)
The drastic decline in the abundance of Caribbean acroporid corals (Acropora cervicornis, A. palmata) has prompted the listing of this genus as threatened as well as the development of a regional propagation and restoration ...
Gesneriatuberifera (Gesneriaceae), a new lithophytic species from the Sierra de Bahoruco, Barahona Peninsula of southern Hispaniola (Dominican Republic)
(2023)
A narrowly endemic new species of Gesneria is described from the Sierra de Bahoruco in the Dominican Republic’s Barahona Peninsula of southern Hispaniola. Gesneriatuberifera J.L.Clark & T.Clase, sp. nov. differs from all ...
An integrative study of species distribution modelling and conservation genetics : Magnolia in Hispaniola
(2023)
On the island of Hispaniola, five endemic species of Magnolia occur, all of which are threatened with extinction. Little is known about their distribution and genetic health, hampering targeted conservation actions. The ...
