  • Introduced Amphibians and Reptiles in the Cuban Archipelago

Through an extensive review of information on Cuban herpetofauna, including protected area management plans, we present the first comprehensive inventory of introduced amphibians and reptiles in the Cuban archipelago. We classify species as Invasive, Established Non-invasive, Not Established, and Transported. We document the arrival of 26 species, five amphibians and 21 reptiles, in more than 35 different introduction events. Of the 26 species, we identify 11 species (42.3%), one amphibian and 10 reptiles, as established, with nine of them being invasive: Lithobates catesbeianus, Caiman crocodilus, Hemidactylus mabouia, H. angulatus, H. frenatus, Gonatodes albogularis, Sphaerodactylus argus, Gymnophthalmus underwoodi, and Indotyphlops braminus. We present the introduced range of each of the 26 species in the Cuban archipelago as well as the other Caribbean islands and document historical records, the population sources, dispersal pathways, introduction events, current status of distribution, and impacts.

  • January 30, 2017 Dear Friends and Family, Greetings from Cuba! We
    January 30, 2017 Dear friends and family, Greetings from Cuba! We are about a third of the way through our trip here! We have very limited internet access and very limited time, so we have not been able to send any updates before now. We arrived in Miami on January 12th and met up with Frank and Jeanette Meitz who lead the trip and partner with us in ministry here in Cuba! Together we flew into Cienfuegos and began final preparations with the leadership here. After arriving in came our dear friends and trainers from many of the different provinces, the cooks and maintenance staff, the musicians from Bayamo, Granma Province…And the conferences began! Both of the Discipler Training conferences were incredible! The first week we taught pastors and leaders from the province of Cienfuegos and the second week we taught pastors and leaders from Villa Clara Province. We had 208 attendees in the two conferences! Our trainers have grown so much over the last year. They have begun taking on a greater part of the conference. They led meetings, they taught break-out sessions and each had an assistant that they were training alongside them to be a facilitator for the next conference. They did dramas to illustrate the concepts of “spiritual parenting”, “the character of God” and “what individual discipleship looks like”. It has been amazing to watch them grow in leadership and in their knowledge of the DTI material and the skill with which they teach and facilitate. The next four weeks Pablo and I will be traveling and teaching a two-day seminar on marriage counseling.

  • A New Species of Tropidophis from Cuba (Serpentes: Tropidophiidae)
    Copeia, 1992(3), pp. 820-825 A New Species of Tropidophisfrom Cuba (Serpentes: Tropidophiidae) S. BLAIR HEDGES AND ORLANDO H. GARRIDO Tropidophisfuscus is described from native pine forests of eastern Cuba. It is a very dark brown species with a gracile habitus. In some aspects of scalation and coloration, it resembles species in the maculatus group, whereas in habitus it resembles members of the semicinctus group. Therefore, its relationship to other species of Tropidophis is presently unclear. THE genus Tropidophis includes 15 species Baracoa, by road), Guantanamo Province, Cuba, of relatively small, boidlike snakes. Most 76 m, collected by S.
