Evolutionary stasis and lability in thermal physiology in a group of tropical lizards
(2014)
Understanding how quickly physiological traits evolve is a topic of great interest, particularly in the context of how organisms can adapt in response to climate warming. Adjustment to novel thermal habitats may occur ...

Esta guía es de gran importancia y utilidad para especialistas y aficionados de la identificación de anfibios y reptiles de la Hispaniola y de la región del Caribe. Desde el año 1941, en el que Doris M. Cochran publicara ...
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 ...
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 ...
