Rapid shift in microbial community structure in a neutral hydrothermal hot spring from Costa Rica
(2020)
In this work, we characterize the geochemistry and microbial community of Bajo las Peñas, a neutral (pH 6.5-7.4), hot spring (T = 62.0-68.0°C) located near Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica. The microbiota at its two sources ...
Predation of the Rolled-Leaf Beetle Cephaloleia kressi García-Robledo (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) by the Rove Beetle Phanolinus Sp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Xanthopygina) in a Montane Forest of Costa Rica
(2020-12-22)
The genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat includes 215 species, known as rolled-leaf beetles, all of which are restricted to the Neotropics (Garcı́a-Robledo et al. 2015; Staines and Garcı́a-Robledo 2014). These beetles complete their ...
Búsqueda y caracterización de proteínas biopesticidas novedosas a partir de cepas de Bacillus thuringiensis
(1999)
En la actualidad se desarrollan y se cultivan comercialmente plantas transgénicas que expresan endotoxinas de Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) como biopesticida para el control específico de insectos. Sin embargo, se teme que ...
Abundancia y fluctuaciones de aves limícolas (Charadriiformes) en una playa fangosa de Chomes, Costa Rica
(1992)
We recorded 27 species of Charadriiformes on the mud flats of Chomes, Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica, during biweekly censuses over one year. These were grouped taking into account their abundance and permanence on the flat. ...
Illustrations and studies in Neotropical Orchidaceae: the Specklinia brighamii group (Pleurothallidinae) in Costa Rica
(2020)
This paper focuses on the taxonomy and systematics of the species related to Specklinia brighamii and S. simmleriana in Costa Rica. The group also includes S. alexii, recorded for the first time for the country, S. acrisepala, ...
Fungal Endophytes and Their Bioactive Compounds in Tropical Forests of Costa Rica
(2021-04-15)
We present a glimpse of the diversity of endophytic fungi in the tropical forests of Costa Rica and some examples of bioactive compounds obtained from them. We include the characterization of isolates carried out mainly ...

Paleontology of a section of the Corredores river, Curré formation, miocene, Costa Rica
(2010)
En una sección del río Corredores aflora una secuencia de areniscas finas a gruesas en estratos (dm-m) subverticales orientados predominantemente N-S. Se reconocieron 43 especies de moluscos, crustáceos, fragmentos de ...
Microbial Community Structure Alogn a Horizontal Oxygen Gradient in a Costa Rican Volcanic Influeced Acid Rock Drainage System
(2020-06-22)
We describe the geochemistry and microbial diversity of a pristine environment that resembles an acid rock drainage (ARD) but it is actually the result of hydrothermal and volcanic influences. We designate this environment, ...
Temperature and elemental sulfur shape microbial communities in two extremely acidic aquatic volcanic environments
(2021)
Aquatic environments of volcanic origin provide an exceptional opportunity to study the adaptations of microbial communities to early planet life conditions such as high temperatures, high metal concentrations, and low pH. ...
