Endemic rodents of Hispaniola : biogeography and extinction timing during the Holocene

Abstract

Highlights: - Nearly 70% of extinct native rodents from Hispaniola survived until the Late Holocene. - Body size of native rodents does not correlate with extinction timing. - Defaunation postdated climatic changes in the Pleistocene-Holocene. - Hispaniola was the initial center of Capromyini rodent radiation and evolution.
