(American Geophysical Union, 2002-04-26)
Tomographic images constrain the existence of a subducted seamount beneath the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica. The subducted seamount is found at a depth of 30 km within the rupture area of the March 25, 1990, Mw = 7.0 Gulf ...
Floral biology, pollination ecology and seed production of the ornamental plant Salvia splendens Sello
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica., 2002)
In this paper, the floral biology and pollination ecology of Salvia splendens are described. All flower characteristics (red corolla, large tubular flowers with abundant but dilute nectar) indicate that S. splendens is ...
Along-strike variability in the seismogenic zone below Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
At the subduction zone in northwestern Costa Rica, the seismogenic zone lies directly beneath the Nicoya Peninsula, allowing for near source seismic studies of earthquake activity. We located 650 earthquakes along the ...

Movements and activities of white-lipped peccaries in Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica., 2002)
The conservation of remnant populations of white-lipped peccaries in Central America depends on adequate documentation of
their habitat needs and behavior. Thus, we monitored the activity patterns, local distributions, ...
