Distribución y diversidad de equinodermos (Asteroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea) en las islas del Golfo de Chiriquí, Panamá
(2012-04)
Los estudios de equinodermos en el Pacífico Panameño han sido enfocados principalmente en análisis moleculares y evolutivos, y los pocos trabajos ecológicos se han enfatizado en dos especies: Diadema mexicanum y Acanthaster ...
The crown‑of‑thorns seastar species complex: knowledge on the biology and ecology of five corallivorous Acanthaster species
(2024-01)
Coral-eating crown-of-thorns seastars (CoTS, Acanthaster spp.) are major contributors to the coral reef crises across the
Indo-Pacific region. Until recently, CoTS throughout the Indo-Pacific were regarded to be a single ...
Density, size, and biomass of Diadema mexicanum (Echinoidea) in Eastern Tropical Pacific coral reefs
(2016)
Diadema is among the most abundant, widely dispersed, and ecologically important genera of sea urchin in tropical shallow waters. D. mexicanum is distributed from the Gulf of California to northern Peru, including the ...
Pentamera fonsecae n. sp. a new species of sea cucumber from the Pacific coast of Costa Rica (Holothuroidea: Dendrochirotida: Thyonidae)
(2020)
Pentamera fonsecae n. sp. is described from seven specimens as a new species of Thyonidae from the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. It is distinguished from its congeners by having tables with ladder-shaped spires in the body ...
Benefits of protection on reef fish assemblages in a human impacted region in Costa Rica
(2019)
In recent years, there has been a health decrease in marine ecosystems. Due to this accelerated degradation, there is a more pressing need to investigate the effectiveness of MPAs in these degraded zones. In this work, we ...
Variation in the whole mitogenome of reef-building Porites corals
(2016)
The study of complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) revealed different gene rearrangements, highly variable markers, and delineated clades that have aided the understanding of the evolutionary history in corals. In ...
III Congreso Latinoamericano de Equinodermos, Costa Rica
(2017)
The third Latin American Echinoderm Congress was organized in San José, Costa Rica, from 18 to 22 July,
at the University of Costa Rica, by the Centro de Investigacion en Ciencas del Mar y Limnologia, and by
the Biology ...
Spatial and temporal changes in reef fish assemblages on disturbed coral reefs, north Pacific coast of Costa Rica
(2019)
Benthic structure of coral reefs determines the availability of refuges and food sources. Therefore, structural changes caused by natural and anthropogenic disturbances can have negative impacts on reef‐associated communities. ...
New reports of echinoderms on the Caribbean continental slope of central America
(2019)
The Caribbean is considered a unique biogeographic region that represents an important hotspot of marine diversity in the Atlantic Ocean. The Caribbean Continental Slope of Central America (CCCA) is a largely unexplored ...
Growth and natural mortality of Diadema mexicanum A. Agassiz, 1863, from west-central Mexico
(2020)
Abstract: Population parameters of Diadema mexicanum have not yet been studied; therefore, the objective of this work was to describe, for the first time, the growth and mortality by age of this sea urchin. The growth curve ...
