Diversité et résilience de la méiofaune face à une perturbation induite sur le champ hydrothermal Lucky Strike à 1700 m de profondeur
(2023-06-20)De nos jours, le manque de connaissances sur le fonctionnement des écosystèmes hydrothermaux limite notre capacité à prédire leur résilience face à des perturbations, qu’elles soient naturelles ou anthropiques. La ... -
Monitoreo y caracterización de microplásticos en arenas de playas y aguas costeras de Costa Rica
(2022)Los microplásticos y micropartículas han sido temas de estudio destacado en los últimos años debido a su incidencia cada vez mayor en el medio ambiente y a las implicaciones adversas y desfavorables que tienen para la ... -
Proporción sexual, estado nutricional y origen natal de las tortugas marinas Chelonia mydas y Eretmochelys imbricata en un sitio de alimentación en el Pacífico Norte de Costa Rica
(2022-12)Todas las especies de tortugas marinas suelen pasar un importante periodo de sus vidas concentras en distintas áreas de alimentación, sitios donde distintos grupos etarios mantienen una convivencia simpátrica para alimentarse ... -

(2022-12-06)Este documento es el informe de investigación para ACOPAC de SINAC correspondiente al muestreo ecológico de 4 playas de arena durante el año 2021. Se muestra como la playa Espadilla Norte ubicada afuera del Parque Nacional ... -
Inventario de Humedales para Protección Costera (IHPC): una herramienta para la gestión costera en Costa Rica
(2022-05-24)Costa Rica cuenta con aproximadamente 1 500 km de costa en los cuales se localizan humedales que ofrecen una gran variedad de servicios ecosistémicos, entre ellos, la protección costera. La cuantificación de este servicio ... -
Marine litter of Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica 2021 (Data matrix)
(2022-01-27)This data comes from a study with quantification of marine litter along the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica, during January 2021. The study was carried out by CIMAR, Universidad de Costa Rica and published in Marine Pollution ... -
Seasonal phenology of Sargassum liebmannii J. Agardh (Fucales, Heterokontophyta) in an upwelling area of the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2014)Seasonal changes in growth, biomass, abundance and reproduction of brown algae have been reported from subtropical and temperate regions, but there are very few reports from tropical regions, and none from the Eastern ... -
Vertical accretion and carbon burial rates in subtropical seagrass meadows increased following anthropogenic pressure from European colonisation
(2018)Seagrass meadows serve as marine carbon sinks, though rates of carbon burial and sediment accretion may vary within and among seagrass meadows due to spatial and temporal variability in sedimentary and biophysical conditions. ... -
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 ... -
Simulated overfishing and natural eutrophication promote the relative success of a non-indigenous ascidian in coral reefs at the Pacific coast of Costa Rica
(2017)Colonial ascidians of the genus Didemnum are common fouling organisms and are typically associated with degraded ecosystems and anthropogenic structures installed in the sea. In this study, however, the non-indigenous ... -
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 ... -
Eastern Pacific Coral Reef Provinces, Coral Community Structure and Composition: An Overview
(2017)Advances in our knowledge of eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) coral reef biogeography and ecology during the past two decades are briefly reviewed. Fifteen ETP subregions are recognized, including mainland and island localities ... -
Marine Biodiversity of Eastern Tropical Pacific Coral Reefs
(2017)The eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) is an isolated oceanic region exposed to extreme oceanographic conditions, including low salinity, low pH, high temperatures during El Niño, and low temperatures during La Niña and seasonal ... -
New record of Stellamedusa ventana Raskoff & Matsumoto, 2004 in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2019-02)Three specimens of the rare scyphozoan Stellamedusa ventana Raskoff & Matsumoto, 2004 were collected during a vertical plankton tow on April 2013 in a shallow bay on the Eastern Tropical Pacific that was sampled eight times ... -
New record of the starfish Ophidiaster ludwigi (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) from the Pacific of Mexico and Costa Rica
(2017)Ophidiaster ludwigi had been reported only from Panama and Peru. Here we add record of the genus and species for Mexico and Costa Rica; and, first time its bathymetric distribution (0-156 m) -
Ecological assessments of the coral reef communities in the Eastern Caribbean and the effects of herbivory in influencing coral juvenile density and algal cover
(2017)Caribbean reefs have been unevenly surveyed, with many areas lacking baseline data. In this study, the current status of Orbicella reefs, a structurally complex forereef habitat, was quantified in an understudied region, ... -
Seagrass morphometrics at species level in Moreton Bay, Australia from 2012 to 2013
(2017)Seagrass above, below and total biomass, density and leaf area, length and width were quantified at a species level for 122 sites over three sampling periods in Moreton Bay, Australia. Core samples were collected in two ... -
Fixed-Nitrogen Loss Associated with Sinking Zooplankton Carcasses in a Coastal Oxygen Minimum Zone (Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica)
(2017)Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) in the ocean are of key importance for pelagic fixed-nitrogen loss (N-loss) through microbial denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). Recent studies document that zooplankton ... -
New records of gelatinous zooplankton from an oceanic island in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2017)Gelatinous zooplankton are an abundant and diverse group of animals in the pelagic environment. However, knowledge of species diversity and spatial distributions, as well as their ecological role, is scarce. We present ... -
