Diversidad y vulnerabilidad de la flora orquideológica de un bosque montano nuboso del Valle Central de Costa Rica
(2019)
Los Cerros de La Carpintera son una formación montañosa en el Valle Central de Costa Rica que alberga remanentes de bosque nuboso en sus partes altas y están rodeados por áreas urbanas y agrícolas. Con el interés de promover ...
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 ...
Additions to the Genus Bactris (Arecaceae)of Mesoamerica
(2000)
Two new endemic species of Bactris, found in the understorey of humid forest on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, are described and illustrated. Bactris ana-juliae is 1.8-3.0 m tall, and B. herrerana is 2.0-3.0 m tall.
A New Quararibea (Malvaceae) from the Caribbean Lowlands of Costa Rica
(2018)
We describe and illustrate a new species of Quararibea Aubl. from Costa Rica. Quararibea reflexipetalaCascante, J. Sánchez-Gonz. & W. S. Alverson is distinguished by its pleated petals with strongly reflexed and coiled ...
Genetic Diversity and Spatial Genetic Structure of an Epiphytic Bromeliad in Costa Rican Montane Secondary Forest Patches
(2014)
Information on genetic variation and its distribution in tropical plant populations relies mainly on studies of ground‐rooted species, while genetic information of epiphytic plants is still limited. Particularly, the effect ...
Pollination by nitidulid beetles in the hemi-epiphytic aroid Monstera lentii (Araceae: Monsteroideae)
(2017)
Among aroids (Araceae family) with bisexual flowers, the reproductive biology of the neotropical genus Monstera (Subfamily Monsteroideae) is misunderstood. Nothing is known about the reproductive phenology and the sparse ...
Efectos de la Fragmentación del Bosque Tropical Seco Sobre el Éxito Reproductivo y la Estructura Genética del Arbol Samanea saman
Effects of Dry Tropical Forest Fragmentation on the Reproductive Success and Genetic Structure of the Tree Samanea saman
(2002)
Tropical trees are particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation because of their low densities, self-incompatibilty system, and high rates of outbreeding. Forest fragmentation is likely to decrease gene flow, increase ...
A New Species of Werauhia (Bromeliaceae: Tillandsioideae) from Montane Cloud Forests of Costa Rica
(2023)
Werauhia oenophylla Cascante & J. F.
Morales (Bromeliaceae), a new species of Tillandsioid
epiphytic bromeliad, is described from the montane
forests of Costa Rica. The new species is related to W.
umbrosa (L. B. Sm.) ...
Genetic diversity and reproductive biology of the dioecious and epiphytic bromeliad Aechmea mariae-reginae (Bromeliaceae) in Costa Rica: implications for its conservation
(2019)
Ecological traits and pollination mode associated with dioecious sexual expression in plants are likely to influence
their reproductive success and levels of genetic diversity. Dioecy is an uncommon condition in Bromeliaceae. ...
Composición florística y estructura de un bosque húmedo premontano en el Valle Central de Costa Rica
(2001)
Se estudió la estructura y composición florística de un remanente de bosque húmedo premontano (BHP) en la Zona Protectora El Rodeo, Valle Central de Costa Rica. Se establecieron tres parcelas permanentes (1 ha. cada una) ...
