The Caribbean Magnolia species (Magnoliaceae) : assessment of the genetic diversity and the underlying evolutionary history
(2020)
This PhD thesis discusses the importance of conserving the genus Magnolia, particularly in the Americas, where most of the diversity of the genus is found. Magnolia trees provide a range of services, including cultural ...
An integrative study of species distribution modelling and conservation genetics : Magnolia in Hispaniola
(2021)
In this master’s dissertation, we aim to deliver insights regarding the distribution and genetic health (i.e. the amalgamation between genetic diversity, gene flow and geographic extent of a species and/or population) of ...
Historical biogeography of endemic plants in the Caribbean and Podocarpus as a case study
(2019)
Despite numerous floristic studies of the Caribbean region, the large-scale evolutionary origins of its diversity remain relatively under-explored. Here, I add to the empirical knowledge of the origin and assembly of the ...
Genetic diversity and conservation of Pseudophoenix (Arecaceae) in Hispaniola
(2014)
The Caribbean genus Pseudophoenix (Arecaceae) has its center of taxonomic diversity in Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic). Three species (P. ekmanii, P. lediniana, and P. vinifera) are restricted to this island. ...
