Fossil lizards from the Dominican Republic

Abstract

This is a detailed investigation into the fossil record of lizard species from the Dominican Republic. This work marks a significant contribution to the study of the island's herpetofauna, focusing on extinct lizard species and their evolutionary context within the Caribbean. By analyzing fossil remains, Etheridge provides insights into the biodiversity, ecological adaptations, and historical distribution of these reptiles. The study offers valuable data for understanding the paleoecology and biogeographic history of Hispaniola and its connection to the greater Antillean region.
