Microhabitat heterogeneity associated with Vanilla spp. and its influences on the microbial community of leaf litter and soil
(Springer Nature, 2020-09)
The impact of forest microhabitats on physiochemical properties of the soil and that of
microbial communities on tropical soils remain poorly understood. To elucidate the effect of
tropical forest stand on leaf litter ...
Dinámica del tamaño y composición de las manadas de chanchos de monte (Tayassu pecari); en el Parque Nacional Corcovado, Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2001)
Los cerdos del nuevo mundo están clasificados dentro el Orden Artiodactyla, familia Tayassuidae. Esta familia incluye tres especies: el taguá (Catagomus wagneri), el saínon (Pecari tajacu) y el chancho de monte (Tayassu ...
Modelling non-stationary water ages in a tropical rainforest: A preliminary spatially distributed assessment
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020)
Pristine tropical forests play a critical role in regional and global climate systems. For a
better understanding of the eco-hydrology of tropical “evergreen” vegetation, it is
essential to know the partitioning of water ...
Dietary resource overlap among three species of frugivorous bat in Costa Rica
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-05-03)
The maintenance of biodiversity in tropical forests is thought to be dependent on fine-scale
mechanisms of niche partitioning that allow species to coexist. This study examined whether
three species of short-tailed fruit ...
Antimicrobial activities of Marcgraviaceae species and isolation of a naphthoquinone from Marcgravia nervosa (Marcgraviaceae)
(NRC Research Press, 2015)
The Marcgraviaceae is a neotropical plant family of lianas and shrubs distributed throughout Central and South America, mainly in evergreen and semi-evergreen tropical forests. In this study, extracts of 12 Marcgraviaceae ...
Use of food and spatial resources by two frogs of the genus Dendropsophus (anura: Hylidae) from La Selva, Costa Rica
(Universidade de Sao Paulo, 2012-06)
Differences in the use of resources by similar species have been related to a reduction in the interspecific competition that allows coexistence. Also, other factors, such as high availability of resources in the environment, ...
Contrasting patterns of taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional variation along a Costa Rican altitudinal gradient in the plant family Melastomataceae
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)
The functional composition of plant communities in montane regions has been studied for decades, and most
recent analyses find that environmentally favourable landscapes at lower altitudes tend to be dominated by species ...
Neotropical flowering epiphyte diversity: local composition and geographic affinities
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2013)
Worldwide, the highest diversity of vascular epiphytic plants resides in the
Neotropics. The general pattern of taxonomic composition of the neotropical epiphytic
flora has been described, but information regarding the ...
Complejidad estructural de la vegetación de tres comunidades forestales en restauración a través de fotografías hemisféricas en Orosi, Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2015)
Describir principios organizadores que gobiernan la dinámica ecológica a través de múltiples escalas espaciales y temporales, ha sido uno de los principales retos de la ecología de los ecosistemas. Debido a esto es muy ...
First Measurements of Biogenic Hydrocarbons in Air in a Tropical Cloudy Forest, Monteverde, Costa Rica
(David Publishing Compan, 2011)
Measurements of biogenic hydrocarbons in ambient air were carried out during 2008 in a cloud y tropical forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Isoprene, α-pinene, β-pinene, 3-carene, d-limonene and γ-terpinene were sampled by ...
