Diverse Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae (Isoptera) in Dominican amber
(2009)
The most diverse and best-preserved paleofauna of the higher termites heretofore known, all found in Miocene amber of the Dominican Republic, is described. The imago of Coptotermes priscus Emerson is redescribed, and the ...
Preliminary checklist of the Orthoptera (Saltatoria) of Hispaniola
(2001)
This work summarizes the preliminary taxonomic information available on the Orthoptera fauna of Hispaniola. Valid names, synonyms used in pertinent references, data on type specimens and species distributions are included. ...
Uso del nombre Consolea microcarpa versus Consolea picardae (Cactaceae), para una especie endémica de la Española
(2018)
Existe la duda sobre el uso del nombre correcto de una especie endémica de La Española, Consolea microcarpa (K. Schum.) E.F. Anderson. La mayoría de las más recientes publicaciones usan el sinónimo, C. picardae (Urb.) ...
Pleistocene aridification underlies the evolutionary history of the Caribbean endemic, insular, giant Consolea (Opuntioideae)
(2021)
Premise: The Caribbean islands are in the top five biodiversity hotspots on the planet; however, the biogeographic history of the seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) there is poorly studied. Consolea consists of nine ...
Taxonomic studies in the Miconieae (Melastomataceae). XIII. Systematics of Miconia subcompressa, a Hispaniolan endemic comprised of three eco-geographic subspecies
(2015)
The pattern of morphological variation in Miconia subcompressa, a species endemic to the mountains of southern Hispaniola, is assessed by a consideration of numerous herbarium specimens (many collected by the authors) and ...
Taxonomic studies in the Miconieae (Melastomataceae). XIV. Species of Miconia section Sagraea that occur in the Greater Antilles and additionally in the Lesser Antilles and/or continental regions
(2018)
The systematics of three species of Miconia sect. Sagraea from the Greater Antilles, which also occur in the Lesser Antilles and/or continental regions, is investigated. These taxa, representing lineages of likely independent ...
Erechthis katydids (Tettigoniidae: Conocephalinae) in the Caribbean : new species from The Bahamas and Hispaniola
(2016)
Two new species of Caribbean conocephaline katydids (Agraeciini) are described for the previously monotypic genus Erechthis: one from the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, one from Hispaniola. The first-named species ...
A new species of Choranthus from Hispaniola (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae)

Choranthus maria is described from a single female reared from a larva found feeding on the leaves of a young Sabal palm. The type locality is a tropical hardwood forest near Sosua, on the northern coast of the Dominican ...
Looks can be deceiving : the deceptive milkcaps (Lactifluus, Russulaceae) exhibit low morphological variance but harbour high genetic diversity
(2019)
The ectomycorrhizal genus Lactifluus is known to contain many species complexes, consisting of morphologically very similar species, which can be considered cryptic or pseudocryptic. In this paper, a thorough molecular ...
Hypersalinity drives physiological and morphological changes in Limia perugiae (Poeciliidae)
(2016)
A fundamental question in biology is how an organism's morphology and physiology are shaped by its environment. Here, we evaluate the effects of a hypersaline environment on the morphology and physiology of a population ...
