A coalescent-based estimator of genetic drift, and acoustic divergence in the Pteronotus parnellii species complex
(2019)
Determining the processes responsible for phenotypic variation is one of the central tasks of evolutionary biology. While the importance of acoustic traits for foraging and communication in echolocating mammals suggests ...

[Español] Se hace la descripción de la colección de murciélagos del Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Santo Domingo. Se atiende a la composición de la colección y la distribución geográfica de sus especímenes; se hace ...
The value of endangered species in protected areas at risk : the case of the leatherback turtle in the Dominican Republic
(2014)
Protected areas are considered essential elements for global biodiversity conservation. They may not necessarily result in an effective conservation of resources in developing countries due to lack of funding for management ...
Protected areas host important remnants of marine turtle nesting stocks in the Dominican Republic
(2012)
Nesting by marine turtles in the Caribbean has declined considerably, mainly because of human exploitation, but there has previously been no monitoring in the Dominican Republic. We present the first detailed assessment ...
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 ...
Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana) in the Dominican Republic
(2012)
This species was unknown from the Dominican Republic until the early 1990s when Green Iguanas began to be sold as pets. From 10 February through 9 March 2012, we conducted a series of interviews in local communities ...
Assessing the efficacy of direct conservation interventions : clutch protection of the leatherback marine turtle in the Dominican Republic
(2015)
The beaches of Jaragua National Park in the Dominican Republic are the country's last known major nesting site for the leatherback marine turtle Dermochelys coriacea. This nesting aggregation is threatened by widespread ...
Contextualising the last survivors : population structure of marine turtles in the Dominican Republic
(2013)
Nesting by three species of marine turtles persists in the Dominican Republic, despite historic threats and long-term population decline. We conducted a genetic survey of marine turtles in the Dominican Republic in order ...
Using the past to contextualize anthropogenic impacts on the present and future distribution of an endemic Caribbean mammal
(2019)
Island species are difficult to conserve because they face the synergy of climate change, invasive species, deforestation, and increasing human population densities in areas where land mass is shrinking. The Caribbean ...
Horas de éxodo y estacionalidad de los murciélagos en cuatro cuevas de República Dominicana
(2014)
Se estudiaron los patrones de emergencia y estados reproductivos de las poblaciones de murciélagos en cuatro cuevas de la República Dominicana. Se capturó un total de 12 especies: Mormoops blainvillei, Pteronotus parnellii, ...
