Euphausiids (Crustacea: Euphausiacea) from a hotspot of marine biodiversity, Isla del Coco, Costa Rica, Eastern Tropical Pacific
Eufáusidos (Crustacea: Euphausiacea) de un punto caliente de biodiversidad marina, Isla del Coco, Costa Rica, Pacífico Tropical Oriental
(2016)
Euphausiids have been well studied in several regions of the Pacific Ocean; however, there is less information regarding euphausiids in Costa Rican waters. We analyzed euphausiid specimens collected around Isla del Coco ...
Natural ocean acidification at Papagayo upwelling system (north Pacific Costa Rica): implications for reef development
(2018)
Numerous experiments have shown that ocean acidification impedes coral calcification, but knowledge
about in situ reef ecosystem response to ocean acidification is still scarce. Bahía Culebra, situated at the northern ...
Fixed-Nitrogen Loss Associated with Sinking Zooplankton Carcasses in a Coastal Oxygen Minimum Zone (Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica)
(2017)
Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) in the ocean are of key importance for pelagic fixed-nitrogen loss (N-loss) through microbial denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). Recent studies document that zooplankton ...
Changes in abundance and composition of a Caribbean coral reef zooplankton community after 25 years
Cambios en abundancia y composición de una comunidad de zooplancton arrecifal en el Caribe 25 años después
(2016)
Coral reef zooplankton represents a key community in coral ecosystems, as they are involved in trophic and biogeochemical dynamics, and recruitment processes. Zooplankton abundance, composition and biomass were surveyed ...
Respuestas del mesozooplancton a condiciones oceanográficas en diferentes escalas en Bahía Salinas, Pacífico Norte de Costa Rica, durante 2011-2013.
Mesozooplankton responses to oceanographic conditions across different scales in Salinas Bay, Northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica during 2011-2013
(2021)
Introducción: El Pacífico Norte de Costa Rica se caracteriza por presentar una variación de la temperatura
subsuperficial del mar (TSSM) modulada por vientos
superficiales de componente este, con variaciones estacionales ...
Gestión Integrada Marina y Costera en Costa Rica
(2020)
Considerado como el primer país en vías de desarrollo en contar con un programa de Gestión Costera Integrada, Costa Rica es un país pequeño con dos costas que inalienablemente debe manejar sus recursos marino-costeros de ...
Effects of Seasonal Upwelling on Inorganic and Organic Matter Dynamics in the Water Column of Eastern Pacific Coral Reefs
(2015-11)
The Gulf of Papagayo at the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica experiences pronounced seasonal changes in water parameters caused by wind-driven coastal upwelling. While remote sensing and open water sampling already ...
Effects of simulated overfishing on the succession of benthic algae and invertebrates in an upwelling-influenced coral reef of Pacific Costa Rica
(2015)
Overfishing and nutrient enrichment are among the major local stressors to coral reefs worldwide, as they can alter the benthic reef community by promoting fast growing algae and bioeroders. The Northern coast of Pacific ...
New record of Stellamedusa ventana Raskoff & Matsumoto, 2004 in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2019-02)
Three specimens of the rare scyphozoan Stellamedusa ventana Raskoff & Matsumoto, 2004 were collected during a vertical plankton tow on April 2013 in a shallow bay on the Eastern Tropical Pacific that was sampled eight times ...
Seasonal changes of the microplankton community along a tropical estuary
(2015-11)
Microplankton organisms are an important link in the transfer of matter and energy between the benthic–pelagic microbial food web and higher trophic levels in estuaries. Although tropical estuaries are among the most ...
