Pharaxonotha portophylla, new species (Insecta: Coleoptera: Erotylidae: Pharaxonothinae), is described based on individuals collected on the cones of native populations of Zamia amblyphyllidia D. W. Stevenson and Z. ...

Potential for physiological self-incompatibility in Heliconia bihai as a mechanism to promote outcrossing was studied in St. Lucia. Our results do suggest that H. bihai is self-compatible. However, plants vary in their ...

The presence of feral goats can have detrimental effects to insular ecosystems where native plants have evolved in the absence of these animals. Goat diet information is valuable in determining which species may be most ...

La diversidad de los invertebrados sésiles de los arrecifes coralinos depende enormemente de las asociaciones en el substrato y de las interacciones entre especies. En este trabajo describimos efectos asociados al substrato ...

The life history of Helmithora anomala Vélez & Vega (Nemaliales, Rhodophyta), collected from Puerto Rico was examined in culture. Carpospores from monoecious plants germinated to form freeliving,uniseriate filamentous micro ...

We examined population densities and structural microhabitat use by Anolis griseus and A.trinitatis at eight sites on the leeward (western) coast of St. Vincent, West Indies. Estimates of population density based on the ...

Analysis of 19-year-old planted Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis on clay and sandy soils in the mountains of Puerto Rico showed the suitability of both sites for tree growth to commercial size. Growth rates were compared ...
