Byer3 INTRODUCTION There has been a recent surge of interest in the biogeography of archipelagoes owing to a reinterpretation of classical concepts of evolution of insular populations, factors controlling numbers of species on islands, and the dynamics of inter-island dispersal. The literature on these subjects is rapidly accumulating; general reviews are presented by Mayr (1963) , and Baker and Stebbins (1965) . Carlquist (1965, 1974), Preston (1962 a, b), ~ac~rthurand Wilson (1963, 1967) , MacArthur et al. (1973) , Hamilton and Rubinoff (1963, 1967), Hamilton et al. (1963) , Crowell (19641, Johnson (1975) , Whitehead and Jones (1969), Simberloff (1969, 19701, Simberloff and Wilson (1969), Wilson and Taylor (19671, Carson (1970), Heatwole and Levins (1973) , Abbott (1974) , Johnson and Raven (1973) and Lynch and Johnson (1974), have provided major impetuses through theoretical and/ or general papers on numbers of species on islands and the dynamics of insular biogeography and evolution.

  • (A) PUERTO RICO - Large Scale Characteristics
    (a) PUERTO RICO - Large scale characteristics Although corals grow around much of Puerto Rico, physical conditions result in only localized reef formation. On the north coast, reef development is almost non-existent along the western two-thirds possibly as a result of one or more of the following factors: high rainfall; high run-off rates causing erosion and silt-laden river waters; intense wave action which removes suitable substrate for coral growth; and long shore currents moving material westward along the coast. This coast is steep, with most of the island's land area draining through it. Reef growth increases towards the east. On the wide insular shelf of the south coast, small reefs are found in abundance where rainfall is low and river influx is small, greatest development and diversity occurring in the southwest where waves and currents are strong. There are also a number of submerged reefs fringing a large proportion of the shelf edge in the south and west with high coral cover and diversity; these appear to have been emergent reefs 8000-9000 years ago which failed to keep pace with rising sea levels (Goenaga in litt. 7.3.86). Reefs on the west coast are limited to small patch reefs or offshore bank reefs and may be dying due to increased sediment influx, water turbidity and lack of strong wave action (Almy and Carrión-Torres, 1963; Kaye, 1959). Goenaga and Cintrón (1979) provide an inventory of mainland Puerto Rican coral reefs and the following is a brief summary of their findings. On the basis of topographical, ecological and socioeconomic characteristics, Puerto Rico's coastal perimeter can be divided into eight coastal sectors -- north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, and offshore islands.

S. macrolepis Gunther and S. grandisquamis Stejneger are com- bined, and seven new subspecies of the resulting S. macrolepis are described from Puerto Rico and Isla Vieques. S. nicholsi Grant and S. townsendi Grant are regarded as races of a single. species. S. danforthi Grant is considered a synonym of S. macrotepis Gunther. A new subspecies of S. beattyi G~ant is described from St. Croix. Variation, detailed discussions of coloration and pattern, and geo- graphic distribution of the remaining Puerto Rican forms are given and a hypo- thetical history of the macrolepis complex is presented.

  • Conservation and Management of Cyclura Iguanas in Puerto Rico. Pp
    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 11(Monograph 6):61–67. Submitted: 10 October 2014; Accepted: 12 November 2015; Published: 12 June 2016. CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CYCLURA IGUANAS IN PUERTO RICO 1,2,4 3 MIGUEL A. GARCÍA AND GLENN P. GERBER 1Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, PO Box 366147, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00936, USA 2Center for Applied Tropical Ecology and Conservation (CATEC), University of Puerto Rico – Río Piedras Campus, San Juan, Puerto Rico 00931, USA 3San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research, 15600 San Pasqual Valley Road, Escondido, California 92027, USA 4Corresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract.—Three species of iguanas in the genus Cyclura are or were once found in the Puerto Rican Archipelago including the native Mona Island Iguana (C. stejnegeri), the extirpated Anegada or Stout Iguana (C. pinguis), and the introduced Cuban Iguana (C. nubila nubila). These species are included in conservation and management plans within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico aimed at recovery, reintroduction, and removal, respectively. To date, recovery efforts for Mona Island Iguanas include a fence to protect coastal nesting sites from feral pigs, a headstart program to improve population age structure and bolster recruitment, and feral cat control to improve juvenile survival. As a result of these actions, the population structure of C. stejnegeri has improved and all age classes are represented. However, full recovery of C. stejnegeri will require removal of feral mammals from Mona Island.
