Development of predictive models for water budget simulations of closed-basin lakes : case studies of Lakes Azuei and Enriquillo on the Island of Hispaniola
(2021)The historical water level fluctuations of the two neighboring Caribbean lakes of Azuei (LA) and Enriquillo (LE) on Hispaniola have shown random periods of synchronous and asynchronous behaviors, with both lakes exhibiting ... -
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 ... -
Accuracy assessment of ASTER, SRTM, ALOS, and TDX DEMs for Hispaniola and implications for mapping vulnerability to coastal flooding
(2019)Digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from remote sensing data provide a valuable and consistent data source for mapping coastal flooding at local and global scales. Mapping of flood risk requires quantification of the ... -
Changing ecological communities along an elevation gradient in seasonally dry tropical forest on Hispaniola (Sierra Martín García, Dominican Republic)
(2019)[English] We report the results of systematic vascular plant and bird surveys in Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest (SDTF) across leeward and windward elevation gradients (31– 884 masl) in the Sierra Martín García (SMG), ... -
Past and present of insular Caribbean mammals : understanding Holocene extinctions to inform modern biodiversity conservation
(2017)[English] Of the 116 mammal species present in the Greater Antilles at the start of the Holocene Epoch, only 56 now survive, with more extensive species losses (~80%) in native lineages of sloths, shrews, rodents, and ...
