(2019)La falla Cipreses se localiza en la parte central de Costa Rica, en la zona más poblada del país. En esta investigación se analiza esta falla a partir de aspectos geomorfológicos, geológicos ... -
Neotectónica del extremo oriental del Cinturón Deformado del Centro de Costa Rica
(2003)El Cinturón Deformado del Centro de Costa Rica corresponde con un ancho sistema de fallas neotectónicas que atraviesa transversalmente a Costa Rica, desde la fosa Mesoamericana, en el lado pacífico, hasta el Cinturón ... -
Neotropical Bats from Costa Rica harbour Diverse Coronaviruses
(2015-02-04)Bats are hosts of diverse coronaviruses (CoVs) known to potentially cross the host–species barrier. For analysing coronavirus diversity in a bat species-rich country, a total of 421 anal swabs/faecal samples from Costa ... -
Neotropical bats that co-habit with humans function as dead-end hosts for dengue virus
(2017-05-18)Several studies have shown Dengue Virus (DENV) nucleic acids and/or antibodies present in Neotropical wildlife including bats, suggesting that some bat species may be susceptible to DENV infection. Here we aim to elucidate ... -
Neotropical Birds Respond Innately to Unfamiliar Acoustic Signals
(2022)Many animals respond to heterospecific signals that indicate the presence of food or predators. Although the benefits of responding are clear, the behavioral and cognitive mechanisms underlying responses are not. Whether ... -
Neotropical flowering epiphyte diversity: local composition and geographic affinities
(2013)Worldwide, the highest diversity of vascular epiphytic plants resides in the Neotropics. The general pattern of taxonomic composition of the neotropical epiphytic flora has been described, but information regarding the ... -
Neotropical freshwater crabs (Decapoda: Pseudothelphusidae) shred leaves
(2020)Freshwater crabs are macroconsumers that are commonly found in Neotropical headwater streams that may play a key role in energy flow and nutrient cycling in detrital food webs. Although studies have examined the feeding ... -
Neotropical Hypericum irazuense shrubs reveal recent ENSO variability in Costa Rican páramo
(2020-06)Climate-vegetation relations in alpine systems play a pivotal role in regulating hydrology and have thus become a research priority in a context of ongoing climate change. In this paper, we investigate how one of the ... -
Neotropical primary bat cell lines show restricted dengue virus replication
(2017-02)Dengue is the most widespread arboviral disease affecting humans. Bats are recognized carriers of emerging viral zoonoses and have been proposed as dengue reservoirs, since RNA/NS1 and/or antiviral antibodies have been ... -
Nephila clavipes spiders (Araneae: Nephilidae) keep track of captured prey counts: testing for a sense of numerosity in an orb-weaver
(Animal Cognition DOI 10.1007/s10071-014-0801-9, 2014-08-28)Nephila clavipes golden orb-web spiders accumulate prey larders on their webs and search for them if they are removed from their web. Spiders that lose larger larders (i.e., spiders that lose larders consisting of more ... -
Nest and eggs of the southern Central American endemic Tawny-chested Flycatcher Aphanotriccus capitalis
(2017)The Aphanotriccus, Lathrotriccus and Cnemotriccus clade (Cicero & Johnson 2002, Ohlson et al. 2008, Tello et al. 2009) comprises five species of tyrant flycatcher that inhabit dense second growth, disturbed forest, riverine ... -
Nest architecture and parental care in Ruddy Treerunner Margarornis rubiginosus
(2018)We complement the only existing nest description for Ruddy Treerunner Margarornis rubiginosus and include observations of nestbuilding and breeding behaviour. We also compare our data with existing information on nest ... -
Nest daily survival rate of six Costa Rican urban birds
(2020-12)The advance of urbanization in Neotropical countries has drastically changed or eliminated extensive areas of natural habitats. Despite these changes, some species breed in cities and adapt to urban conditions. Several ...
