Mitogenomic sequences support a north–south subspecies subdivision within Solenodon paradoxus
(2017)
Solenodons are insectivores found only in Hispaniola and Cuba, with a Mesozoic divergence date versus extant mainland mammals. Solenodons are the oldest lineage of living eutherian mammal for which a mitogenome sequence ...
An update on the distribution of threatened odonate species from the Greater Antilles
(2015)
The Antilles harbour several island endemic odonate species, including some palaeoendemics, within a relatively small and anthropized area. Such attributes give this archipelago a special significance for the conservation ...
Solenodon paradoxus (Soricomorpha: Solenodontidae)
(2015)
Solenodon paradoxus, Brandt, 1833, is a large lipotyphlan insectivore commonly called the Hispaniolan solenodon. S. paradoxus is 1 of 2 extant species in the genus Solenodon, and 2 subspecies are recognized. The species ...
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 ...
Ecology and conservation genetics of Ridgway's Hawk Buteo ridgwayi
(2011)
Ridgway's Hawk is a forest raptor endemic to the island of Hispaniola in the West Indies. The species is ecologically little known, with only three nests followed in 1976, and no comprehensive nest observations reported ...
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 ...
Population genetics and relatedness in a critically endangered island raptor, Ridgway's Hawk Buteo ridgwayi
(2013)
Many island avian populations are of conservation interest because they have a higher risk of extinction than mainland populations. Susceptibility of island birds to extinction is primarily related to human induced change ...
Breeding ecology and predictors of nest success in the Critically Endangered Ridgway’s Hawk Buteo ridgwayi
(2015)
Ridgway’s Hawk Buteo ridgwayi is a Critically Endangered forest raptor endemic to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. The species is currently limited to a small area on the north-east coast of the island, with fewer ...
Nestling sex ratio in a critically endangered dimorphic raptor, Ridgway's Hawk (Buteo ridgwayi)
(2013)
[English] Variation in nestling sex ratio is an important concept in population ecology, and has particular implications for the conservation status of small populations. Research on species exhibiting Reversed Sexual Size ...
