Contributions to the Program in Tropical Biology of Florida International University

The contribution series, a collection of peer-reviewed publications published by Tropical Biology affiliated faculty, was initiated in the Spring of 1998. The Tropical Biology program at FIU joins faculty from the departments of Biological Sciences, Earth and the Environment, the Southeastern Environmental Research Center (SERC), the Biological Resource Division (BRD) of the United States Geological Service (USGS), and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden (FTBG). This contribution series is maintained by Dr. Javier Francisco-Ortega (ortegaj@fiu.edu).
