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 ... -
Population history of the Hispaniolan hutia Plagiodontia aedium (Rodentia: Capromyidae) : testing the model of ancient differentiation on a geotectonically complex Caribbean island
(2012)Hispaniola is a geotectonically complex island consisting of two palaeo-islands that docked c. 10 Ma, with a further geological boundary subdividing the southern palaeo-island into eastern and western regions. All three ... -
Rodents of the Caribbean : origin and diversification of hutias unravelled by next-generation museomics
(2014)The Capromyidae (hutias) are endemic rodents of the Caribbean and represent a model of dispersal for non-flying mammals in the Greater Antilles. This family has experienced severe extinctions during the Holocene and its ... -
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 ... -
Historical demography of bird populations from Hispaniola assessed by nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences
(2015)Molecular markers can be used to infer the demographic history of a given species, but many historic processes simultaneously impact multiple species. Thus, comparative historical demography has the potential to provide ...
