Taxonomic Revision of Hispaniola Tiger Beetles in the Genus Brasiella Rivalier 1954 (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Cicindelinae)
The Brasiella tiger beetle fauna on Hispaniola, the second largest island of the Greater Antilles, has more species diversity than currently recognized as all populations previously have been assigned to the insular endemic Brasiella dominicana (Mandl). A comparative study of adult morphology, particularly male genitalic and female abdominal characters, for available Brasiella specimens from po...
متن کاملPatterns of growth, recruitment, mortality and biomass across an altitudinal gradient in a neotropical montane forest, Dominican Republic
We examined stand dynamics and biomass along an altitudinal gradient in a tropical montane forest (TMF) in the disturbance-prone Cordillera Central, Dominican Republic. We tested the general hypothesis that chronic disturbance by fire, wind, floods and landslides results in a landscape of relatively low above-ground biomass with high rates of mortality, recruitment and growth as compared with o...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Spatial and Temporal Vegetation Dynamics in Hispaniola: A Comparison of Haiti and the Dominican Republic
Spatial and temporal vegetation contrasts between the nations of Haiti and the Dominican are analyzed using NDVI data derived from 30m resolution Landsat imagery and 8km resolution AVHRR imagery from the NOAA / NASA Pathfinder database. Analysis of vegetation dynamics in the Hispaniola border region indicates denser vegetation cover and a stronger correlation between elevation, slope, and NDVI ...
متن کاملLand Change in the Greater Antilles between 2001 and 2010
Land change in the Greater Antilles differs markedly among countries because of varying socioeconomic histories and global influences. We assessed land change between 2001 and 2010 in municipalities (second administrative units) of Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Our analysis used annual land-use/land-cover maps derived from MODIS satellite imagery to model linear cha...
متن کاملForest baseline and deforestation map of the Dominican Republic through the analysis of time series of MODIS data
Deforestation is one of the major threats to habitats in the Dominican Republic. In this work we present a forest baseline for the year 2000 and a deforestation map for the year 2011. Maps were derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Radiometer (MODIS) products at 250 m resolution. The vegetation continuous fields product (MOD44B) for the year 2000 was used to produce the forest baseline, whil...
