Phylogeography of Dominican Republic bats and implications for systematic relationships in the Neotropics
(2017)
[English] The majority (90%) of native terrestrial mammal species living in the Dominican Republic are bats, and two-thirds of these species are endemic to the Caribbean. However, recent molecular studies using DNA barcoding ...
Independent evolutionary histories in allopatric populations of a threatened Caribbean land mammal
(2016)
The aim of this study was to determine the evolutionary history, relationships and distinctiveness of allopatric populations of Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus), a highly threatened Caribbean ‘relict’ mammal, ...
Home range and habitat data for Hispaniolan mammals challenge assumptions for conservation management
(2019)
Conservation decision-making for threatened species in human-modified landscapes requires detailed knowledge about spatial ecology, but robust data derived from tracking individual animals are often unavailable, with ...
The impact of habitat quality inside protected areas on distribution of the Dominican Republic’s last endemic non-volant land mammals
(2019)
The Hispaniolan solenodon, Solenodon paradoxus, and Hispaniolan hutia, Plagiodontia aedium, are the Dominican Republic’s only surviving endemic non-volant land mammals, and are high priorities for conservation. The country ...
Independent evolutionary histories in allopatric populations of a threatened Caribbean land mammal
(2016)
Aim: To determine the evolutionary history, relationships and distinctiveness of allopatric populations of Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus), a highly threatened Caribbean ‘relict’ mammal, to understand spatio-temporal ...
A new subspecies of hutia (Plagiodontia, Capromyidae, Rodentia) from southern Hispaniola
(2015)
Continued uncertainty persists over the taxonomic status of many threatened Caribbean mammal populations. Recent molecular analysis has identified three genetically isolated allopatric hutia populations on Hispaniola that ...
