Studies in the Panaeolus papilionaceus complex (Agaricales, Galeropsidaceae) : two new species discovered in the Dominican Republic and Australia
(2024)
Dominican and Australian collections morphologically assignable to the “Panaeolus papilionaceus complex” were studied using morphological and molecular (nrITS) data. Two new species are described: P. pantropicalis from the ...
Fungus flora of the Dominican Republic. IX. Some unrecorded polyporoid, corticioid and clavarioid fungi
(2024)
Two polyporoid (Heterobasidion irregulare, Perenniporia inflexibilis), two corticioid (Eichleriella tenuicula, Stecchericium seriatum) and five clavarioid (Clavulinopsis corniculata, Phaeoclavulina eumorpha, Phaeoclavulina ...
Second report of coprinoid fungi (Psathyrellaceae, Agaricales) in the Dominican Republic
(2024)
Continuing the study of coprinoid fungi of the Dominican Republic (see Angelini, Voto & Alvarado 2023), two more taxa are reported with morphological and molecular data: Coprinopsis nivea, with a peculiar set of spore ...
Phylogeographic structure within the fiddler crabs Leptuca thayeri and Uca maracoani (Brachyura, Ocypodidae) along the tropical West Atlantic
(2022)
Most fiddler crabs have an extended planktonic larval phase, potentially maintaining gene flow among widely separated populations, in the absence of marine barriers. Such marine barriers could be long coastal stretches ...
Site fidelity of a wintering Swainson’s Warbler in the Dominican Republic
(2000)
We document between-winter philopatry of a Swainson’s Warbler (Limnothylpis swainsonii) from the Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, southwestern Dominican Republic. An individual, previously captured on 10 November 1997, ...
Mangroves enhance reef fish abundance at the Caribbean regional scale
(2015)
Several studies conducted at the scale of islands, or small sections of continental coastlines, have suggested that mangrove habitats serve to enhance fish abundances on coral reefs, mainly by providing nursery grounds for ...
Genetic diversity and differentiation of Pseudophoenix (Arecaceae) in Hispaniola
(2014)
Pseudophoenix ekmanii, P. lediniana and P. vinifera (Arecaceae) are endemic to Hispaniola. The more wide-ranging P. sargentii also occurs on the island. Population genetic diversity and structure of Pseudophoenix was ...
Discovery of a giant chameleon-like lizard (Anolis) on Hispaniola and its significance to understanding replicated adaptive radiations
(2016)
We report a new chameleon-like Anolis species from Hispaniola that is ecomorphologically similar to congeners found only on Cuba. Lizards from both clades possess short limbs and a short tail and utilize relatively narrow ...
Retrofitting power poles to prevent electrocution of translocated Ridgway’s Hawks (Buteo ridgwayi)
(2019)
Abstract: A translocation program for Critically Endangered Ridgway’s Hawks (Buteo ridgwayi) in the Dominican Republic initially met with limited success because hawks were being electrocuted on power poles around the ...
Surveys and breeding biology of Buteo ridgwayi (Ridgway's Hawk) in Los Haitises, Dominican Republic
(2005)
We conducted surveys for the endangered Ridgway's Hawk, Buteo ridgwayi, in Los Haitises National Park, Dominican Republic, and in areas outside the park during the breeding seasons 2002 and 2003. In 2002, we recorded 47 ...
