Aquatic insect diversity of Costa Rica: state of knowledge
(2008)Costa Rica hosts an extraordinarily high biodiversity and is among the best studied neotropical countries. Insects represent the most diverse group of organisms, not only in terrestrial but also in aquatic, especially ... -
Biology of snakes of the genus Tretanorhinus: an integrative review
(2019)Many aspects of the biology of various snake species remain unknown, and the extent of this lack of information is not always clear. As new research usually depends upon previous findings, the gaps in our knowledge and ... -
Differences in plasmatic butyrylcholinesterases (BChE) values between Pacific and Caribbean populations of terciopelo (Bothrops asper) in Costa Rica
(2019)The terciopelo (Bothrops asper) inhabits human-modified environments such as agricultural areas, becoming more prone to be exposed to organophosphate insecticides. These chemicals can inhibit plasmatic butyrylcholinesterases ... -
Ecología del Homo sapiens y su relación sociocultural
(2017)Muchos individuos de la especie Homo sapiens consideran estar separada del resto de criaturas del Reino Animal. Esto implica que hay un desligamiento de las relaciones entre el ser humano y el entorno natural, cuyas causas ... -
Frankliniella, dos nuevos registros en México y Costa Rica: distribución y sus implicaciones en ecología y taxonomía (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)
(2015-12-05)En este trabajo se presentan dos nuevos informes de especies de Frankliniella Karny 1910 una para Costa Rica de Frankliniella albacuriosa Johansen 1998 y Frankliniella caribae Retana-Salazar 2010 para dos estados de México. ... -
Myxomycete assemblage turnover across a moisture and elevation gradient in Costa Rica
(2021-07-13)The formation of sporocarps in myxomycetes depends on environmental characteristics, among which, moisture and temperature seem to be relevant in tropical areas. Since temperature is linked to elevation, the effect of both ... -
Response of psychrophilic plant endosymbionts to experimental temperature increase
(2020)Countless uncertainties remain regarding the effects of global warming on biodiversity, including the ability of organisms to adapt and how that will affect obligate symbiotic relationships. The present study aimed to ... -
Sexual size dimorphism and ecomorphology of the Berthold’s bush anole (Polychrus gutturosus) in Costa Rica: Preliminary data
(2019)Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is the result of sexual or natural selection operating differently on the body sizes of females and males. Males of most lizard species are larger than females, suggesting intrasexual selection on ... -
The influence of leaf characteristics on epiphyllic cover: A test of hypotheses with artificial leaves
(1995-12-31)Studies of epiphyll ecology have been hindered by the biochemical and morphological variability of the leaf substrate. The use of artificial (plastic ribbon tape) leaves solved that problem in a study done at the Braulio ...
