  • Análisis Morfotectónico De La Isla Puerto Rico, Caribe
    Análisis Morfotectónico de la Isla Puerto Rico, Caribe Mario Octavio Cotilla Rodríguez* Diego Córdoba Barba* Abstract Puerto Rico is a relatively small sub aerial exposure of the Greater Antilles Arc. New morphotectonic analyses indicate that Puerto Rico is an emergent and tectoni- cally active macroblock at the northeast edge of the Caribbean-North American plate boundary. The delimited macroblock is asymmetric from the morphotectonic point of view, and consists of a northern mesoblock and a southern mesoblock. The northern mesoblock is larger and more tectonically active. The northern and south- ern mesoblocks include a total of 18 blocks, 31 microblocks and 55 nanoblocks. Ten major lineaments and 83 lineament intersections, 12 of which are the principal intersections, are identified within the northern and southern mesoblocks. The prin- cipal intersections are the most tectonically active part of the studied area, and indi- cate fault segmentation, block rotation and low seismic activity. All the quantitative and qualitative information and cartographic materials are on a GIS. Key words: Caribbean, morfotectonics, Puerto Rico. Resumen Puerto Rico, la menor en cuanto a superficie territorial de las islas del arco de las Antillas Mayores, es un macrobloque emergido y activo del extremo nordeste de la zona límite de placas litosféricas Caribe-Norteamérica, por la metodología morfo- tectónica aplicada. El macrobloque delimitado es asimétrico desde el punto de vista morfotectónico y en su taxonomía incluye dos mesobloques, Septentrional y Meri- dional. El mesobloque Septentrional es el mayor y donde la actividad resulta ser significativamente más importante. Estas dos unidades territoriales incluyen un total de 18 bloques, 31 microbloques y 55 nanobloques.

  • Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
    SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Contributions from the United States National Herbarium Volume 52: 1-415 Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands Editors Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez and Mark T. Strong Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History Washington, DC 2005 ABSTRACT Acevedo-Rodríguez, Pedro and Mark T. Strong. Monocots and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, volume 52: 415 pages (including 65 figures). The present treatment constitutes an updated revision for the monocotyledon and gymnosperm flora (excluding Orchidaceae and Poaceae) for the biogeographical region of Puerto Rico (including all islets and islands) and the Virgin Islands. With this contribution, we fill the last major gap in the flora of this region, since the dicotyledons have been previously revised. This volume recognizes 33 families, 118 genera, and 349 species of Monocots (excluding the Orchidaceae and Poaceae) and three families, three genera, and six species of gymnosperms. The Poaceae with an estimated 89 genera and 265 species, will be published in a separate volume at a later date. When Ackerman’s (1995) treatment of orchids (65 genera and 145 species) and the Poaceae are added to our account of monocots, the new total rises to 35 families, 272 genera and 759 species. The differences in number from Britton’s and Wilson’s (1926) treatment is attributed to changes in families, generic and species concepts, recent introductions, naturalization of introduced species and cultivars, exclusion of cultivated plants, misdeterminations, and discoveries of new taxa or new distributional records during the last seven decades.

  • To See Our Puerto Rico Vacation Planning
    DISCOVER PUERTO RICO LEISURE + TRAVEL 2021 Puerto Rico Vacation Planning Guide 1 IT’S TIME TO PLAN FOR PUERTO RICO! It’s time for deep breaths and even deeper dives. For simple pleasures, dramatic sunsets and numerous ways to surround yourself with nature. It’s time for warm welcomes and ice-cold piña coladas. As a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico offers the allure of an exotic locale with a rich, vibrant culture and unparalleled natural offerings, without needing a passport or currency exchange. Accessibility to the Island has never been easier, with direct flights from domestic locations like New York, Charlotte, Dallas, and Atlanta, to name a few. Lodging options range from luxurious beachfront resorts to magical historic inns, and everything in between. High standards of health and safety have been implemented throughout the Island, including local measures developed by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company (PRTC), alongside U.S. Travel Association (USTA) guidelines. Outdoor adventures will continue to be an attractive alternative for visitors looking to travel safely. Home to one of the world’s largest dry forests, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System, hundreds of underground caves, 18 golf courses and so much more, Puerto Rico delivers profound outdoor experiences, like kayaking the iridescent Bioluminescent Bay or zip lining through a canopy of emerald green to the sound of native coquí tree frogs. The culture is equally impressive, steeped in European architecture, eclectic flavors of Spanish, Taino and African origins and a rich history – and welcomes visitors with genuine, warm Island hospitality. Explore the authentic local cuisine, the beat of captivating music and dance, and the bustling nightlife, which blended together, create a unique energy you won’t find anywhere else.
