Recent paleontological collection in submerged caves in the eastern Dominican Republic has yielded new specimens of Antillothrix bernensis. Here we describe a complete cranium of an adult individual (MHD 20) and provide ...
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)

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 ...
