The composition and foraging ecology of mixed-species flocks in pine forests of Hispaniola
(1996)
[English] We determined the flocking propensity of 48 species of birds occurring in native pine forest in the Cordillera Central of the Dominican Republic, and the species composition of 180 mixed-species flocks.
Observations on the abundance, site persistence, home range, foraging, and nesting of the Pine Warbler on Hispaniola, and first record of ground nesting for this species
(1999)
[English] We studied the permanent resident Pine Warbler (Dendroica pinus) from October-April 1996–1997 and 1997–1998 in high-elevation Hispaniolan pine (Pinus occidentalis) forests of the Sierra de Bahoruco in the Dominican ...
A new intrageneric Dendroica hybrid from Hispaniola
(1998)
On 7 November 1993, while Latta (SCL) and Wunderle (JMW) were mist-netting in a shade coffee plantation 2 km northwest of Jumunucu, La Vega Province, Dominican Republic (elevation 600 m), an unusual-appearing warbler was ...
Speciation, heterochrony, and genetic variation in Hispaniolan Palm-Tanagers
(1990)
We documented levels of genetic variability for two species of Hispaniolan palm-tanagers. Significant differences between age classes in levels of genetic heterozygosity were concordant with an age dimorphism in foraging ...
Behavioral and morphological correlates of heterochrony in Hispaniolan Palm-Tanagers
(1994)
We documented the occurrence of heterochrony for morphological and behavioral characters in two species of Hispaniolan Palm-Tanager.
A second Anolis lizard in Dominican amber and the systematics and ecological morphology of Dominican amber anoles.
(1998)
A fossil Anolis lizard in the collections of the American Museum of Natural History is the second anole preserved in amber from the Dominican Republic (Miocene epoch) to be studied...
The systematics, biology, and conservation of Solenodon
(1991)
An investigation of the geographic variation of Solenodon indicate that this Greater Antillean insectivore genus is represented by four species, two living, S. cubanus, S. paradoxus, and two extinct, S. marcanoi and a yet ...
Una campaña en la República Dominicana. Resultados preliminares
(1997)
Presentamos las topografías de varias cuevas del Parque Nacional de Jaragua y del Parque Nacional de Los Haitises. También documentamos algunos hallazgos paleontológicos y carcinológicos. Las cuevas del entorno de la Laguna ...
Phylogenetic relationships of the order insectivora based on complete 12S rRNA sequences from mitochondria
(1999)
Despite numerous studies, there is no single accepted hypothesis of eutherian ordinal relationships. Among the least understood mammalian orders is the group Insectivora. Currently, molecular and morphological data are in ...
Occurrence, abundance, and length frequency distribution of queen conch, Strombus gigas (Gastropoda) on shallow waters of the Jaragua National Park, Dominican Republic
(1999)
[English] The distribution of juvenile queen conch has been associated with certain ecologically unique characteristics within seagrass beds, such as strong tidal circulation patterns, depth of 2 to 4 m, and seagrass beds ...
