Contribution to the knowledge of Costa Rican oribatid mite fauna, with supplementary descriptions of Pergalumna silvatica and P. sura (Acari: Oribatida: Galumnidae)
(2014-06)An annotated checklist of oribatid mites collected from Costa Rica in 2012 is provided. We have registered 10 species in 8 genera and 6 families. Archegozetes magnus, Kokoppia euramosa, Neoamerioppia cocuyana, Xenillus ... -
Contribution to the phylogeny and a new species of Coccodiella (Phyllachorales)
(2017-11-04)Coccodiella is a genus of plant-parasitic species in the family Phyllachoraceae (Phyllachorales, Ascomycota), i.e., tropical tar spot fungi. Members of the genus Coccodiella are tropical in distribution and are ... -
Contributions to the continuity problem for Lyapunov exponents
(2018)O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a continuidade e a semi-continuidade dos expoentes de Lyapunov em dois contextos diferentes. O primeiro diz respeito a cociclos lineares sobre dinâmicas parcialmente hiperbólicas. É ... -
Convergent and complementary selection shaped gains and losses of eusociality in sweat bees
(2023-03-20)Sweat bees have repeatedly gained and lost eusociality, a transition from individual to group reproduction. Here we generate chromosome-length genome assemblies for 17 species and identify genomic signatures of evolutionary ... -
Convergent evolution of floral signals underlies the success of Neotropical orchids
(2013-08)The great majority of plant species in the tropics require animals to achieve pollination, but the exact role of floral signals in attraction of animal pollinators is often debated. Many plants provide a floral reward to ... -
Converging science and literature cultures: learning physics via The Little Prince novella
(2018)Primary level education follows a pedagogy model where literature and science have been historically separated. Natural children processes are disrupted, as learning based on play curiosity is completely transformed by a ... -
Cooperative elastic fluctuations provide tuning of the metal-insulator transition
(2019)Metal-to-insulator transitions driven by strong electronic correlations occur frequently in condensed matter systems, and are associated with remarkable collective phenomena in solids, including superconductivity and ... -
Cooperative signaling behavior of roost location in a leaf-roosting bat
(2010-11)Research suggests that social calls are important for conveying information about food and roost location in bats. However, no studies have specifically documented calls that are used to actively attract conspecifics to ... -
Coordinated hunting behaviors of mixed-species groups of piscivores and associated species at Isla del Coco National Park (Eastern Tropical Pacific)
(2019)Studies of mixed-species groups of animals can reveal emergent complexities of collective behaviors. In this study we collected data on mixed-species hunting groups composed primarily of piscivorous fishes (species ... -
Copulation behaviour of Glossina pallidipes (Diptera: Muscidae) outside and inside the female, with a discussion of genitalic evolution
(Bulletin of Entomological Research (2007) 97, 1–18, 2007-04-26)If species-specific male genitalia are courtship devices under sexual selection by cryptic female choice, then species-specific aspects of the morphology and behaviour of male genitalia should often function to stimulate ... -
Copulatory behaviour and the process of intromission in Anastrepha ludens (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(Rev. Biol. Trop. 59 (1): 291-297. Epub 2011 March 01., 2011-03)Complex genitalia occur in many arthropods and in some species extreme female morphologies lead to serious mechanical difficulties for males. Tephritid flies offer examples of such complex genitalia. Because of their ... -
Copulatory dialogue: female spiders sing during copulation to influence male genitalic movements
(Animal Behaviour, 2006, 72, 413-421, 2006)Female behaviour during copulation that could function as communication with the male is probably more common than previously appreciated, but its functional significance remains little studied. Stridulation during copulation ... -
Coral communities of San Juan del Sur, Pacific Nicaragua
(2011)There are few environments conducive to coral growth along the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, due mostly to strong upwelling toward the south and the lack of adequate substrates toward the north. We visited 10 localities along ... -
Coral Reef Bioerosion in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2017)Bioerosion, the weakening and erosion of hard substrates by boring, etching, and grazing organisms, is a major structuring force on coral reefs of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP). Bioerosional processes are the main ... -
Coral Reef Conservation in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2017)This chapter reviews and evaluates coral reef conservation strategies along the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP), a narrow biogeographic region on the Pacific American coast that extends from southern Baja California, Mexico ... -

El corredor seco Centroamericano en perspectiva histórica
(2019)El artículo aborda, mediante una revisión bibliográfica, los procesos económicos y sociales desarrollados en el Corredor Seco Centroamericano, ubicado en la vertiente pacífica de América Central. Desde tiempos antiguos, ...
