| climate as a driver of tropical insular diversity: comparative phylogeography of two ecologically distinctive frogs in puerto rico. | the effects of late quaternary climate on distributions and evolutionary dynamics of insular species are poorly understood in most tropical archipelagoes. we used ecological niche models under past and current climate to derive hypotheses regarding how stable climatic conditions shaped genetic diversity in two ecologically distinctive frogs in puerto rico. whereas the mountain coquí, eleutherodactylus portoricensis, is restricted to montane forest in the cayey and luquillo mountains, the red-eye ... | 2015 | 26508809 |
| population declines of mountain coqui (eleutherodactylus portoricensis) in the cordillera central of puerto rico. | the mountain coqui (eleutherodactylus portoricensis) is a frog endemic to montane rainforests in the cordillera central and luquillo mountains of puerto rico. classified as endangered by the iucn red list and as vulnerable by the department of natural and environmental resources of puerto rico, this species has undergone considerable decline in the luquillo mountains. to evaluate the population status of e. portoricensis across its entire range, we conducted ~87 hours of surveys at 18 historical ... | 2014 | 25685250 |
