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 ... -
A new alcyonacean octocoral (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Octocorallia) from Chilean fjords
(2015-02-17)A new species, Swiftia comauensis, is described from Chile. It occurs in shallow waters from 18 to 59 m in the Patagonian fjord region and seems to be endemic to the northern part of the region. The species is characterized ... -
A revision of the genus Muricea Lamouroux, 1821 (Anthozoa, Octocorallia) in the eastern Pacific. Part I: Eumuricea Verrill, 1869 revisited
(2015)Muricea is an amphi-American genus. Verrill proposed dividing the species from the Pacific Ocean into three genera and established the genus Eumuricea for five eastern Pacific species with tubular calyces. Eumuricea is ... -
Abundance patterns (1984-1987 / 1994-1998) of polychaete worms (Annelida) from an estuarine tidal flat, Pacific, Costa Rica
(2015-12)The objectives of this report are to provide an updated list of the annelid polychaete worm species found at a tropical estuarine intertidal flat, describe long term oscillations of 11 of the species, and the impact of red ... -
Los accidentes acuáticos alrededor de nuestras costas y su relación con el estado del mar y de la atmósfera
(2017)Se hace una revisión de los principales fenómenos océano-atmosféricos que pueden producir accidentes acuáticos en nuestras costas, describiendo sus características, propagación y orígenes. Se recopilaron varios casos ... -
Analysis of the Latin American west coast rainfall predictability using an ENSO index
(2015)El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la probabilidad de ocurrencia de estaciones lluviosas o secas a lo largo de la costa oeste de Centro y Sudamérica, mediante la construcción de perfiles latitudinales para la ... -
Análisis de datos de CTD de campañas oceanográficas recientes en el Pacífico Tropical del Este, Costa Rica
(2017)Un CTD es un instrumento oceanográfico el cual permite medir la conductividad, temperatura y presión. Los datos producidos por un CTD permiten calcular otras variables como la salinidad. La información generada permite la ... -
Avances en el análisis de datos de CTD de la Isla del Coco, Pacífico Tropical del Este, Costa Rica
(2018-02-14)Se compiló una base de datos oceanográficos obtenidos por medio de 8 campañas científicas a la Isla del Coco. Las mediciones se realizaron utilizando un CTD, instrumento que permite medir ciertas propiedades físicas ... -
Cambios en la cobertura de manglares en Bahía Culebra, Pacífico Norte de Costa Rica (1945-2010)
(2016)Los manglares tienen gran importancia ecológica, económica, riqueza natural y prestan servicios ambientales. No obstante, son amenazados por la sobreexplotación, la contaminación y el cambio de uso de suelo. Costa Rica ... -
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 ... -
Conocimiento y gestión de medios marinos y coralinos del Área de Conservación Marina Isla del Coco

Coral Reef Bioerosion in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2017)Bioerosion, the weakening and erosion of hard substrates by boring, etching, and grazing organisms, is a major structuring force on coral reefs of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP). Bioerosional processes are the main ... -
Coral Reef Conservation in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2017)This chapter reviews and evaluates coral reef conservation strategies along the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP), a narrow biogeographic region on the Pacific American coast that extends from southern Baja California, Mexico ... -
Desarrollo costero y ambientes marino-costeros en Bahía Culebra, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
(2018-04-01)Bahía Culebra ha experimentado un proceso acelerado de desarrollo costero desde la implementación del proyecto Polo Turístico Golfo de Papagayo. Este trabajo analiza el cambio temporal en el estado de salud sus ecosistemas ... -
Does Estuary Restoration Design Alter the Fine Scale Movements of Gray Smoothhounds (Mustelus californicus) in Southern California?
(2017)Restored estuaries in southern California are limited in size and shape by fragmentation from human development, which can in turn restrict habitat use. Thus, it is important to assess how habitat design affects how fish ... -
Dynamics in benthic community composition and influencing factors in an upwelling-exposed coral reef on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica
(2015-11-24)Seasonal upwelling at the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica offers the opportunity to investigate the effects of pronounced changes in key water parameters on fine-scale dynamics of local coral reef communities. This ... -
Eastern Pacific
(2017)In the Eastern Pacific (EP) the only region where rhodolith beds have been well studied in terms of taxonomy, ecology, distribution and conservation status is the Gulf of California. Outside this region the knowledge of ... -
