Oxic and Anoxic Organic Polymer Degradation Potential of Endophytic Fungi From the Marine Macroalga, Ecklonia radiata
(2021-10-18)
Cellulose and chitin are the most abundant polymeric, organic carbon source globally. Thus, microbes degrading these polymers significantly influence global carbon cycling and greenhouse gas production. Fungi are recognized ...
Large-scale climatic phenomena drive fluctuations in macroinvertebrate assemblages in lowland tropical streams, Costa Rica: The importance of ENSO events in determining long-term (15y) patterns
(2019-02-08)
Understanding how environmental variables influence the distribution and density of organisms over relatively long temporal scales is a central question in ecology given increased climatic variability (e.g., precipitation, ...
Myxomycetes within ecotones in temperate and tropical forests
Mixomicetes en ecotonos forestales de bosques templados y tropicales
Mixomicetos em ecótonos florestais de bosques temperados e tropicais
(2021)
Ecotones are interesting portions of forests where microorganisms can be studied for monitoring and
diversity purposes. Given the faster life cycle of these organisms, their study in such a context is important
to develop ...
Contrasting Thermal Strategies of Montane Neotropical Bats at High Elevations
(2018)
In the Neotropics, captive vespertilionid bats substantially reduce their metabolic rate at low ambient temperatures, similar to their temperate counterparts, whereas the ability of phyllostomids to lower metabolic rate ...
Detection of a synthetic sex steroid in the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus): Evidence for a novel environmental androgen
(2017-08)
Endocrine-disrupting contaminants (EDC's) are well known to alter sexual differentiation among vertebrates via estrogenic effects during development, particularly in organisms characterized by
temperature-dependent sex ...
Tie them up tight: wrapping by Philoponella vicinaspiders breaks, compresses and sometimes kills their prey
(2006)
We show that uloborid spiders, which lack the poison glands typical of nearly all other spiders, employ thousands of wrapping movements with their hind legs and up to hundreds of meters of silk line to make a shroud that ...
Exploring farmer preferences towards innovations in the vanilla supply chain
(2021-11)
The vanilla supply chain is characterized by high risk crop management and unstable supply. In order to meet global vanilla demand while improving production sustainability, new approaches considering agro-ecological ...
On the meaning of Cypripedium × grande (Orchidaceae) and its taxonomic history, with a new name for the nothospecies occurring in Costa Rica and Panama
(2018-12-11)
The taxonomic history of Phragmipedium × grande is traced to show that its current treatment as the cross between P. longifolium and P. humboldtii is untenable. According to our interpretation of the holotype and other ...
Malaxis Sw.
(2020-03-31)
The genus Malaxis was named in 1788 by Olof Swartz. The
name was based on malaxo, Greek for “softening,” apparently
referring to the soft or delicate leaves.
Traditionally Malaxis has been characterized in part by ...
