Parámetros físico-químicos en aguas costeras de la Isla del Coco, Costa Rica (2001-2007)
Physico-chemical parameters in coastal waters around Isla del Coco, Costa Rica (2001-2007)
(2008-11-17)
Four cruises to Isla del Coco (Cocos Island), Costa Rica, were carried out in order to gather oceanographic data
related to surface temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen concentration, Secchi disk depth, nutrient ...
Biodiversity and density of subtidal benthos of an oceanic tropical island (a comparison within the Pacific Ocean)
(2016)
The marine macrofauna of the shallow sandy bottom of Isla del Coco, Costa Rica (5°32′N-87°04′W) was assessed in April 2010. Comparisons of richness, density and diversity between levels of exposure to ocean influence were ...
A carbonate platform associated with shallow cold methane seeps in Golfo Dulce, Pacific Costa Rica
(2015)
Marine methane seeps are typically observed in cold, anoxic and organic-rich deep-sea environments, such as in the Black Sea, where methane emissions fuel the authigenic accretion of calcium carbonate structures via microbial ...
Marine biodiversity baseline for Área de Conservación Guanacaste, Costa Rica: published records
(2017)
The diversity of tropical marine organisms has not been studied as intensively as the terrestrial biota worldwide. Additionally, marine biodiversity research in the tropics lags behind other regions. The 43,000 ha Sector ...
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 ...
Caribbean-Wide, Long-Term Study of Seagrass Beds Reveals Local Variations, Shifts in Community Structure and Occasional Collapse
(2014)
The CARICOMP monitoring network gathered standardized data from 52 seagrass sampling stations at 22 sites (mostly Thalassia testudinum-dominated beds in reef systems) across the Wider Caribbean twice a year over the period ...
Global Human Footprint on the Linkage between Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Reef Fishes
(2011)
Difficulties in scaling up theoretical and experimental results have raised controversy over the consequences of biodiversity loss for the functioning of natural ecosystems. Using a global survey of reef fish assemblages, ...
Upwelling Increases Net Primary Production of Corals and Reef-Wide Gross Primary Production Along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica
(2015-12-23)
Photosynthetic production is a key ecosystem service provided by tropical coral reefs, but knowledge about the contribution of corals and other reef-associated organisms and the controlling environmental factors is scarce. ...
INFORME FINAL, Proyecto: Interacción océano-atmósfera y la biodiversidad marina del Parque Nacional Isla del Coco, Costa Rica
(2012-11-30)
La Isla del Coco es la única isla oceánica de América Central y el único punto emergido de la
montaña submarina, Cordillera Volcánica de Coco, que se extiende desde las Islas Galápagos,
Ecuador hasta la Península de Osa, ...
Ecological assessments of the coral reef communities in the Eastern Caribbean and the effects of herbivory in influencing coral juvenile density and algal cover
(2017)
Caribbean reefs have been unevenly surveyed, with many areas lacking baseline data. In this study, the current status of Orbicella reefs, a structurally complex forereef habitat, was quantified in an understudied region, ...
