Serosurvey of selected arboviral pathogens in freeranging, two-toed sloths (Choloepus hoffmanni) and three-toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus) in Costa Rica, 2005–07
(Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2016-10-01)
We screened for antibodies to 16 arboviruses in four populations of free-ranging sloths in Costa Rica. Blood samples were taken from 16 Hoffman's two-toed sloths (HTSs; Choloepus hoffmanni) and 26 brown-throated sloths ...
Characterization of attack events on sea turtles (chelonia mydas and lepidochelys olivacea) by jaguar (panthera onca) in naranjo sector, santa rosa national park, Costa Rica
(International Journal of Conservation Science, 2016-01)
In this study, we examined sea turtles consumption by jaguars and their temporal and spatial distribution at Naranjo beach, Santa Rosa National Park Costa Rica. We include information about sea turtle consumption rate by ...
Inter-trophic food provisioning between sea and land: The jaguar (panthera onca) as provider of sea turtle carcasses to terrestrial scavengers
(International Journal of Conservation Science, 2017-07-10)
A more complete perspective of carrion use by terrestrial vertebrates and about the role of predators in net carrion supply will improve our understanding of critical ecological processes, particularly those associated ...
Factors affecting Jaguar and Puma predation on livestock in Costa Rica
(Wildlife Biology in Practice, 2016-06)
Throughout their range, wild felids in the Americas prey on livestock and this sometimes leads to retaliatory killing. Recently, conservation and research programs focused on such conflicts have recommended mitigation and ...
Jaguars (Panthera onca) increase kill utilization rates and share prey in response to seasonal fluctuations in nesting green turtle (Chelonia mydas mydas) abundance in Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica
(Mammalian Biology, 2015-03)
Jaguar (. Panthera onca) predation of green turtles (. Chelonia mydas mydas) is now a common occurrence in Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica. The abundance of green turtles during nesting season ensures a constant ...
Extremely high diversity of sulfate minerals in caves of the Irazú Volcano (Costa Rica) related to crater lake and fumarolic activity
(International Journal of Speleology, 2018-05)
The caves of the Irazú volcano (Costa Rica), became accessible after the partial collapse of the NW sector of the Irazú volcano in 1994, offering the opportunity to investigate active minerogenetic processes in volcanic ...
Thermoplasmatales and sulfur‑oxidizing bacteria dominate the microbial community at the surface water of a CO2‑rich hydrothermal spring located in Tenorio Volcano National Park, Costa Rica
(Extremophiles, 2019-01-01)
Here we report the chemical and microbial characterization of the surface water of a CO2-rich hydrothermal vent known in Costa Rica as Borbollones, located at Tenorio Volcano National Park. The Borbollones showed a temperature ...
Geophysical, geochemical and geodetical signals of reawakening at Turrialba volcano (Costa Rica) after almost 150 years of quiescence
(Elsevier, 2010-11)
Turrialba is a basaltic–andesitic stratovolcano (3340 masl), in the Cordillera Volcánica Central in Costa Rica. After the last eruption (1864–1866), volcanic manifestations were limited to weak fumarolic discharge (continuous ...
Gas measurements from the Costa Rica–Nicaragua volcanic segment suggest possible along-arc variations in volcanic gas chemistry
(Elsevier, 2014)
Obtaining accurate estimates of the CO2output from arc volcanism requires a precise understanding of the potential along-arc variations in volcanic gas chemistry, and ultimately of the magmatic gas signature of each ...
Comparación de la composición química de partículas PM10 y PM2,5 colectadas en ambientes urbanos y zonas volcánicas del área metropolitana de Costa Rica
(Revista Ciencias Ambientales, 2014-12)
Se muestrearon, en forma simultánea, partículas PM10 y PM2,5 en ambientes urbanos y volcánicos del área metropolitana de Costa Rica, durante octubre y noviembre de 2012. En las áreas industriales y comerciales de alto flujo ...
