    • Horichia dressleri. A new genus recorded for Costa Rica and a truly rare orchid? 

      Pupulin, Franco; Karremans Lok, Adam Philip (2017)
      Orchid collectors, as well as scientists, know that some species are rarer than others. “Know” should perhaps be used in this context with some caution as, in general, rarity is something closer to a perception than ...
    • Horichia Jenny 

      Pupulin, Franco; Karremans Lok, Adam Philip (2022)
      Rarity, in orchids, is often closer to a perception than to a specific category of frequency, assessed on the basis of documented data. Rare species are frequently only a way to say that they are rarely seen in living ...

      Anthropogenic noise (≤ 3 kHz) can affect key features of birds’ acoustic communication via two different processes: (1) song-learning, because songbirds need to hear themselves and other birds to crystallize their song, ...
    • How many species of Pleurothallidinae are there? 

      Pupulin, Franco; Bogarín Chaves, Diego Gerardo; Karremans Lok, Adam Philip (2019)
      Subtribe Pleurothallidinae is possibly the most species-rich of all orchid groups. Nevertheless, they are a young group of plants in terms of scientific learning. The last three decades have been the most active with respect ...
    • Hub thread removal behaviour in the orb weaver Leucauge mariana (Araneae: Tetragnathidae) 

      Barrantes Montero, Gilbert; Zúñiga Madrigal, Jorge; Solano Brenes, Diego (2020-11-05)
      Many orb-weaving spiders break the central lines of the hub at the end of web construction. Nevertheless, very little is known of how spiders break these lines and whether this behaviour differs among taxa. Here, we describe ...
    • Human Influences On Eastern Tropical Pacific Coral Communities and Coral Reefs 

      Cortés Núñez, Jorge; Reyes Bonilla, Héctor (2016)
      Coral reefs world-wide have been impacted by direct and indirect human activity and natural disturbances. This has led to the degradation and disappearance of many reef structures. On a basin-wide scale, the natural impact ...
    • Human waste used as nesting material affects nest cooling in the clay-colored thrush 

      Corrales Moya, Josué; Barrantes Montero, Gilbert; Chacón Madrigal, Eduardo; Sandoval Vargas, Luis Andrés (2021-09-01)
      The internal temperature of nests largely depends on the materials used in their construction because the characteristics of each material affect the isolation of nest walls. In urban environments, the availability of natural ...
