A New Quararibea (Malvaceae) from the Caribbean Lowlands of Costa Rica
(2018)
We describe and illustrate a new species of Quararibea Aubl. from Costa Rica. Quararibea reflexipetalaCascante, J. Sánchez-Gonz. & W. S. Alverson is distinguished by its pleated petals with strongly reflexed and coiled ...
Las plantas vasculares de El Rodeo, Costa Rica
(2012)
La documentación florística de El Rodeo se remonta a finales del siglo XIX y a la fecha se conocen 1 034 especies de plantas vasculares nativas o naturalizadas y 47 especies introducidas cultivadas (ornamentals o de interés ...
Diversidad y vulnerabilidad de la flora orquideológica de un bosque montano nuboso del Valle Central de Costa Rica
(2019)
Los Cerros de La Carpintera son una formación montañosa en el Valle Central de Costa Rica que alberga remanentes de bosque nuboso en sus partes altas y están rodeados por áreas urbanas y agrícolas. Con el interés de promover ...
Additions to the Genus Bactris (Arecaceae)of Mesoamerica
(2000)
Two new endemic species of Bactris, found in the understorey of humid forest on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, are described and illustrated. Bactris ana-juliae is 1.8-3.0 m tall, and B. herrerana is 2.0-3.0 m tall.
Efectos de la Fragmentación del Bosque Tropical Seco Sobre el Éxito Reproductivo y la Estructura Genética del Arbol Samanea saman
Effects of Dry Tropical Forest Fragmentation on the Reproductive Success and Genetic Structure of the Tree Samanea saman
(2002)
Tropical trees are particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation because of their low densities, self-incompatibilty system, and high rates of outbreeding. Forest fragmentation is likely to decrease gene flow, increase ...
Dispersal limitation in epiphytic bromeliad communities in a Costa Rican fragmented montane landscape
(2009)
Transformation of tropical forests is likely to affect seed-dispersal patterns and influence the composition of epiphytic plant communities in human-altered habitats. We tested this hypothesis by carrying out a comparative ...
Bombacaceae
(2020)
Como parte del proyecto del Manual de Plantas de Costa Rica, la primera obra completa sobre las plantas vasculares con flores del país, se describen las 29 especies y 10 géneros de plantas pertenecientes a la familia ...
The effect of conspecific density, herbivory, and bamboo on seedling dynamics of a dominant oak in a Neotropical highland forest
(2019-10-17)
Conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) is one of the main mechanisms
influencing diversity maintenance in tropical forests. Tropical highland forests, in
contrast to most lowland forests, are commonly dominated ...
Evaluating factors that predict the structure of a commensalistic epiphyte–phorophyte network
(2013)
A central issue in ecology is the understanding of the establishment of biotic interactions. We studied the factors that affect the assembly of the commensalistic interactions between vascular epiphytes and their host ...
Association between rainfall seasonality and the flowering of epiphytic plants in a Neotropical montane forest
(2017)
The association between the reproductive phenology of epiphytic communities with environmental and ecological factors remains largely unexplored. Because epiphytes depend on environmental moisture, seasonal changes in ...
