Change in the composition of fauna associated with Pocillopora spp. (Scleractinia, Pocilloporidae) following transplantation
(2023-04-30)
Introduction: Associated fauna comprises most of the diversity of a coral reef and performs ecological functions
essential to the reef’s survival. Since Pocillopora corals harbor an important associated fauna, reef ...
Presence of microplastics in six bivalve species (Mollusca, Bivalvia) commercially exploited at the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, Central America
(2022-08)
Microplastic pollution represents a serious threat to coastal marine systems. We evaluated the presence of microplastics (MPs) in 168 specimens of six commercially exploited bivalve species in the Golfo de Nicoya, Costa ...

Chloroplast genomes as a tool to resolve red algal phylogenies: a case study in the Nemaliales
(2016)
Obtaining strongly supported phylogenies that permit confident taxonomic and evolutionary interpretations has been a challenge in algal biology. High-throughput sequencing has improved the capacity to generate data and ...
Observed Changes (1970-1999) in Extreme Hydroclimatic Events in Central America
(2018-04-20)
Previous studies have shown that most of Central America has been experiencing warming trends during the last 30-50 years, while precipitation annual totals have not changed much. Warming alone can exacerbate the effects ...
