Advances in the knowledge of the vegetation of Hispaniola (Caribbean Central America)
(2018)
The vegetation types and floristic diversity in the Dominican Republic are analysed, a territory with a tropical climate and ombrotypes that range from dry to humid-hyperhumid, due to the Atlantic winds and the phenomenon ...
Importance of biotic predictors in estimation of potential invasive areas : the example of the tortoise beetle Eurypedus nigrosignatus, in Hispaniola
(2018)
We report the leaf beetle Eurypedus nigrosignatus as an alien species in the Dominican Republic and investigate whether biotic factors played a meaningful role in the distributional expansion of the species into the Caribbean.
Establishment of biogeographic areas by distributing endemic flora and habitats (Dominican Republic, Haiti R.)
(2012)
Despite the large number of botanical studies conducted on the flora of the Island of Hispaniola, some of which adopted a floristic or physiognomical approach with a phytosociological methodology, only few have adopted ...
First satellite tracks of the Endangered black-capped petrel
(2015)
The black-capped petrel Pterodroma hasitata is an endangered seabird with fewer than 2000 breeding pairs restricted to a few breeding sites in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. To date, use areas at sea have been determined ...
Migratory patterns in hawksbill turtles described by satellite tracking
(2012)
The advent of telemetry has improved knowledge of the spatio-temporal distribution of marine species of conservation concern. Among the sea turtles, the movements of the hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata are among ...

Reef condition and protection of coral diversity and evolutionary history in the marine protected areas of Southeastern Dominican Republic
(2019)
Changes in structure and function of coral reefs are increasingly significant and few sites in the Caribbean can tolerate local and global stress factors. Therefore, we assessed coral reef condition indicators in reefs ...
Widespread loss of Caribbean acroporid corals was underway before coral bleaching and disease outbreaks
(2020)
The mass mortality of acroporid corals has transformed Caribbean reefs from coral- to macroalgal-dominated habitats since systematic monitoring began in the 1970s. Declines have been attributed to overfishing, pollution, ...
Effects of elevated temperatures and health status of the crustose coralline algae Hydrolithon boergesenii (Corallinales: Mastophoroideae) on the larval settlement of Diploria labyrinthiformis (Scleractinia: Faviinae)
(2022)
Crustose Coralline Algae (CCA) is a well-known settlement inducer for stony corals and, ultimately, recruitment, a vital component for reef growth and resilience. However, potential impacts of diseased CCA on larval ...
