ENSO‐Influenced Drought Drives Methane Flux Dynamics in a Tropical Wet Forest Soil
(2019)
Global atmospheric methane growth rates have wildly fluctuated over the past three decades, which may be driven by the proportion of tropical land surface saturated by water. The El Niño/Southern Oscillation Event (ENSO) ...
Ant microbial symbionts are a new model for drug discovery
(2019)
Ants have been widely studied, with 14,000 described species, but it is not until recently that they gained attention as sources for antimicrobial drug discovery. An increasing amount of studies are investigating ant-microbe ...
The Role of the Ecosystem Engineer, the Leaf-Cutter Ant Atta cephalotes, on Soil CO2 Dynamics in a Wet Tropical Rainforest
El Rol de las Hormigas Cortadoras de Hojas en la Dinámica del CO2 en un Bosque Tropical Lluvioso
(2019)
Leaf‐cutter ants are dominant herbivores that disturb the soil and create biogeochemical hot spots. We studied how leaf‐cutter ant Atta cephalotes impacts soil CO2 dynamics in a wet Neotropical forest. We measured soil CO2 ...
Diversity of Aerobic Bacteria Isolated from Oral and Cloacal Cavities from Free-Living Snakes Species in Costa Rica Rainforest
(2017-08-20)
Costa Rica has a significant number of snakebites per year and bacterial infections are often complications in these animal bites.
Hereby, this study aims to identify, characterize, and report the diversity of the bacterial ...
Welcome to the Atta world: A framework for understanding the effects of leaf‐cutter ants on ecosystem functions
(2019)
1. Leaf‐cutter ants are a prominent feature in Neotropical ecosystems, but a comprehensive assessment of their effects on ecosystem functions is lacking. We reviewed the literature and used our own recent findings to ...
