Biodegradation of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethersin Liquid Media and Sewage Sludge by Trametes versicolor
(2015)Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) are widely employed as flame retardants and constitute a group of emerging pollutants of high persistence. The degradation of different PBDE commercial mixtures (penta-, octa- and ... -
Adaptation of biomixtures for carbofuran degradation in on-farm biopurification systems in tropical regions
(2015-07)A biomixture constitutes the active core of the on-farm biopurification systems, employed for the detoxification of pesticide-containing wastewaters. As biomixtures should be prepared considering the available local ... -
The importance of group vocal behaviour in roost finding
(2018)Individuals benefit from socially acquired information to avoid predation risks and enhance foraging efficiency. Spix's disc-winged bats, Thyroptera tricolor, form very stable social groups despite their need to find a new ... -
Discovery of Tricyclic Clerodane Diterpenes as Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+-ATPase Inhibitors and Structure−Activity Relationships
(2015-05-20)Tricyclic clerodane diterpenes (TCDs) are natural compounds that often show potent cytotoxicity for cancer cells, but their mode of action remains elusive. A computationally based similarity search (CDRUG), combined with ... -
Alkaloids from Crinum erubescens Aiton
(2016-09)Eight alkaloids have been identified from fresh leaves of Crinum erubescens (Amaryllidaceae) collected in Costa Rica. The alkaloid 1-epidemethylbowdensine, detected by means of GC–MS as part of a global Amaryllidaceae ... -
Leaf and flower essential oil compositions of Gliricidia sepium (Fabaceae) from Costa Rica
(2015-04)Gliricidia is a small genus of flowering plants in the Fabaceae family. Gliricidia sepium is a multipurpose tree native to Mesoamerica and possibly northern South America. The chemical composition of the hydrodistilled ... -
Climate change-based modeling of potential land use arrangements for coffee (coffea arabica) and forest in Costa Rica
(2017-12)Besides the need to reduce its own emissions, the challenge of the agricultural sector worldwide is also to adapt to a changing and more variable climate. Coffee is an important crop in Costa Rica based on cultivated area ... -
Comparative social network analysis in a leaf-roosting bat
(2010-10)Even though social network analysis provides an important tool to characterize and compare societies, no studies have used its analytical applications to characterize patterns of sociality in bats. Here I use social network ... -
Response of a Specialist Bat to the Loss of a Critical Resource
(2011-12)Human activities have negatively impacted many species, particularly those with unique traits that restrict their use of resources and conditions to specific habitats. Unfortunately, few studies have been able to isolate ... -
Roosting Ecology of the Tent-Roosting Bat Artibeus watsoni (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in Southwestern Costa Rica
(2005-11)We described the plants used as roost resources by Artibeus watsoni in southwestern Costa Rica, assessed roost fidelity, and compared roosting ecology between two sites, Golfito and Corcovado, which vary in the degree of ... -
Reproductive biology and postnatal development in the tent-making bat Artibeus watsoni (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)
(2006)In this study we investigated the reproductive patterns and postnatal development in the tent‐making bat Artibeus watsoni. We sampled two populations in the Golfito Wildlife Refuge and Corcovado National Park, south‐western ...
