Occurrence of pharmaceuticals, hazard assessment and ecotoxicological evaluation of wastewater treatment plants in Costa Rica
(2020)
The continuous release of pharmaceuticals from WWTP effluents to freshwater is a matter of concern, due to their potential effects on non-target organisms. The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in WWTPs and their associated ...
Can the location of the isolation laboratory affect the generation of myxomycete data using moist chambers? An experiment in the Neotropics
(2021-03-11)
The moist chamber technique, as it is used in myxomycete research, is an extremely useful method to optimize project resources. However, as it occurs with any laboratory-based protocol, the usefulness of this technique ...
Proceedings of the ICSEM10 Costa Rica
(2020-02-28)
Este documento corresponde con la memoria completa del X Congreso Internacional sobre Sistemática y Ecología de Mixomicetes (ICSEM10) celebrado en la Sede del Atlántico de la Universidad de Costa Rica entre el 25 y el 28 ...
Phenology of myxomycetes in Turrialba, Costa Rica
(2021-05)
Long-term monitoring and phenological patterns
of microbial communities are rare in the scientific
literature. Myxomycetes have life cycle characteristics
that allow both to be documented. The present
study summarizes ...
Fungal communities in feces of the frugivorous bat Ectophylla alba and its highly specialized Ficus colubrinae diet
(2022)
Background: Bats are important long-distance dispersers of many tropical plants, yet, by consuming fruits, they may
disperse not only the plant’s seeds, but also the mycobiota within those fruits. We characterized the ...
The role of sampling methodology and site selection on myxomycete data from the Neotropics
(2022-06-21)
Myxomycete sporocarps are practical units that can be used to study the effect of environmental issues such as climate change, urbanization,
and natural disasters on microorganisms. Recent scientific literature lacks ...
Generation of myxomycete data from three discrete experiments using moist chamber cultures in a Neotropical forest
(2021-11-23)
The moist chamber technique is widely used in ecological research on myxomycetes. However,
limited assessments on the usefulness of the technique have been carried out using empirical data. In
the present study, three ...
Myxomycete colonization on translocated and non-translocated dead leaves from temperate and tropical forests
(2020-11)
Samples of dead leaves on the forest floor were collected from a locality in central Costa Rica
and another locality in northwest Arkansas in the United States and then were placed in fine-mesh
nylon bags, autoclaved and ...
Effect of exposition to chlorpyrifos upon plasmatic cholinesterases, hematology and blood biochemistry values in Bothrops asper (Serpentes: Viperidae)
(2018)
The terciopelo (Bothrops asper), is one of the most important venomous snakes in Costa Rica and common on agriculture where insecticides are frequently used for pest control. To assess the exposure to
organophosphates on ...
Mosses as spore traps for myxomycetes
(2020-07-06)
Small-mesh nylon bags filled with autoclaved samples of mosses were placed out in the field in northwest Arkansas and central Costa Rica to assess the extent to which mosses could serve as spore traps for myxomycetes. The ...
