The history of a Hispaniolan palm, Zombia antillarum
(2022)
The taxonomic history of the Hispaniolan palm Zombia antillarum is reviewed
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 ...
Human and hutia (Isolobodon portoricensis) interactions in pre-Columbian Hispaniola : the isotopic and morphological evidence
(2021)
Highlights: Bone collagen carbon (∂13C) values of some hutia suggest commensal diets with humans. Raised carbon (∂13C) values suggest that some hutia consumed C4 plants, likely maize. There is no evidence suggesting hutia ...
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 ...
Independent evolutionary histories in allopatric populations of a threatened Caribbean land mammal
(2016)
Aim: To determine the evolutionary history, relationships and distinctiveness of allopatric populations of Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus), a highly threatened Caribbean ‘relict’ mammal, to understand spatio-temporal ...
Population history of the Hispaniolan hutia Plagiodontia aedium (Rodentia: Capromyidae) : testing the model of ancient differentiation on a geotectonically complex Caribbean island
(2012)
Hispaniola is a geotectonically complex island consisting of two palaeo-islands that docked c. 10 Ma, with a further geological boundary subdividing the southern palaeo-island into eastern and western regions. All three ...
A new subspecies of hutia (Plagiodontia, Capromyidae, Rodentia) from southern Hispaniola
(2015)
Continued uncertainty persists over the taxonomic status of many threatened Caribbean mammal populations. Recent molecular analysis has identified three genetically isolated allopatric hutia populations on Hispaniola that ...
Rodents of the Caribbean : origin and diversification of hutias unravelled by next-generation museomics
(2014)
The Capromyidae (hutias) are endemic rodents of the Caribbean and represent a model of dispersal for non-flying mammals in the Greater Antilles. This family has experienced severe extinctions during the Holocene and its ...
Selaginella ayitiensis and S. brigitteana (Selaginellaceae) : two new species from Hispaniola Island
(2019)
Two new species of Selaginella (i.e. S. ayitiensis and S. brigitteana) from Hispaniola Island are described. Illustrations are provided for both new species and their affinities are discussed. Selaginella ayitiensis was ...
