Intraspecific variation of Megalonychid sloths from Hispaniola and the taxonomic implications

Robert K. McAfee et al.

Summary: Fossils of megalonychid sloths have been found on various islands in the Antilles, with a focus on the Greater Antilles. Research suggests sexual dimorphism and geographic variation in Hispaniola sloths, with differences observed in Acratocnus between northern and southern sites, potentially indicating subspecies or new species. Additionally, the necessity for a reassessment of the current taxonomy and recognized characters for Neocnus has been highlighted, with further radiometric dates needed to confirm patterns of temporal variation.

Lost islands in the northern Lesser Antilles: possible milestones in the Cenozoic dispersal of terrestrial organisms between South-America and the Greater Antilles

Jean-Jacques Cornee et al.

Summary: Our study reconstructs the palaeogeography of the northern part of the Lesser Antilles to analyze potential emerged areas during the Cenozoic era, allowing for terrestrial faunal dispersals between South America and the Greater Antilles. It reveals sequences of uplift and emergence during specific periods, indicating the existence of episodic mega-islands and transient terrestrial connections between different regions.

An unpredicted ancient colonization of the West Indies by North American rodents: dental evidence of a geomorph from the early Oligocene of Puerto Rico

Laurent Marivaux et al.

Summary: The West Indies serve as a natural laboratory for studying biogeography and evolution, particularly for mammals. Recent discoveries in Puerto Rico revealed the oldest island rodent fossils, leading to the proposal of a new taxon. The findings challenge the idea that all Antillean rodents originated from South America and suggest a possible overwater dispersal of rodents to the West Indies during the mid-Paleogene period.
