Central America [in State of the Climate in 2022]
(2023-09)This chapter provides summaries of the 2022 temperature and precipitation conditions across seven broad regions: North America, Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Asia, ... -
Central America and the Caribbean
(2016)This chapter provides summaries of the 2015 temperature and precipitation conditions across seven broad regions: North America, Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. In most ... -
Central America urgently needs to reduce the growing adaptation gap to climate change
(2023-11-24)Central America is highly impacted by current extreme events associated with climate variability and the adverse effects of climate change, showing high vulnerability compounded by its historical context and socioeconomic ... -
Central and South America
(2014)El texto destaca las tendencias significativas en la precipitación y la temperatura en América Central y América del Sur. Se observan cambios en la variabilidad climática y los eventos extremos que han afectado severamente ... -
Chandler wobble: Stochastic and deterministic dynamics
(2016-09-18)We propose a model of the Earth’s torqueless precession, the “Chandler wobble,” as a self-oscillation driven by positive feedback between the wobble and the centrifugal deformation of the portion of the Earth’s mass contained ... -
Change in the composition of fauna associated with Pocillopora spp. (Scleractinia, Pocilloporidae) following transplantation
(2023-04-30)Introduction: Associated fauna comprises most of the diversity of a coral reef and performs ecological functions essential to the reef’s survival. Since Pocillopora corals harbor an important associated fauna, reef ... -
Changes in abundance and composition of a Caribbean coral reef zooplankton community after 25 years
(2016)Coral reef zooplankton represents a key community in coral ecosystems, as they are involved in trophic and biogeochemical dynamics, and recruitment processes. Zooplankton abundance, composition and biomass were surveyed ... -
Changes in Aridity in the Western United States
(2008-08)It is often remarked that most of the western US (Figure 1) is “always in drought,” especially by visitors from wetter climates. The plants and landforms of the West, however, are more or less adapted to the region’s ... -
Changes in escape behaviour of black iguanas (Ctenosaura similis) over an anthropogenic disturbance gradient
(2021)Studies on the impact of human activity on animal behaviour are critical for understanding the extent to which humans affect ecological dynamics. Previous studies have found that human presence alters antipredator behaviours, ... -
Changes in Meteorological Variables in Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay, During the Total Solar Eclipse of 3 November 1994
(1996)Solar global radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed were measured in Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay, within the path of totality of the eclipse of 3 November 1994. Global radiation decreased gradually ... -
Changes in nesting sites abundance and their use by woodpeckers along an urban gradient: a ten-year comparison
(2019)Woodpeckers nesting substrate abundance may be reduced by urban expansion, negatively affecting their reproduction. Long-term studies in the tropics are rare but valuable to estimate how urban development has affected ... -
Changes in solar irradiance and atmospheric turbidity in Costa Rica during the total solar eclipse of July 11, 1991
(1993)Solar global radiation was measured in several places in Costa Rica during the total solar eclipse that ocurred in July 11, 1991. In two of these places, Puntarenas and Santa Cruz, measurements in yhe ultraviolet range ... -

Chapter 6: Founder variations in isolated populations
(2020)Isolated populations, also called population isolates and genetic isolates, present several characteristic features that make them useful in the study of the genetic basis of both Mendelian and complex disorders. The ... -
Characterising droughts in Central America with uncertain hydro-meteorological data
(2018)Central America is frequently affected by droughts that cause significant socio-economic and environmental problems. Drought characterisation, monitoring and forecasting are potentially useful to support water resource ... -
Characteristics of male Spot-bellied Bobwhite (Colinus leucopogon) song during territory establishment
(2012)In song-learning birds, male song shows a large inter-individual variation that frequently plays an important role in intra- and inter-sexual selection. In other bird groups, such as Galliformes, song learning is absent, ... -
Characteristics of the capture threads of Synotaxus sp. (probably S. turbinatus) webs (Araneae, Synotaxidae)
(2009)Synotaxus spiders have independently evolved aerial, planar webs to intercept and retain prey, but these webs differ in several respects from planar araneoid webs with similar functions. The silk capture threads of Synotaxus ... -
Characteristics of the cocoon and natural history of the gregarious Meteorus restionis sp. n. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Meteorinae) from Costa Rica
(2011)A new species of a gregarious Meteorus wasp (Braconidae) constructs an unusual cocoon mass. Meteorus restionis sp. n. is described and distinguished from similar species. Cocoons of M. restionis are dark-brown, ovoid, and ... -
Characteristics of tropical cyclones making landfall on the Pacific coast of Mexico: 1970-2010
