Diurnal changes of photosynthesis and growth of Arthrospira platensis cultured in a thin-layer cascade and an open pond
(2017)Diel changes in photosynthetic performance and biomass productivity were thoroughly examined in Arthrospira platensis cultures grown outdoors in an open circular pond (OCP) and a thin-layer cascade (TLC). The two cultures ... -
Characterization of the Skin Microbiota of the Cane Toad Rhinella cf. marina in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica
(2017)Rhinella marina is a toad native to South America that has been introduced in the Antilles, likely carrying high loads of microorganisms, potentially impacting local community diversity. The amphibian skin is involved in ... -

Connectivity, population structure, and conservation of Ecuadorian green sea turtles
(2017)Studies of highly migratory species that increase our understanding of the dynamics of genetic diversity, migratory routes, and genetic connectivity are essential for informing conservation actions. Genetic data for green ... -
Genome-wide QTL analysis for anxiety trait in bipolar disorder type I
(2017)Background Genetic studies have been consistent that bipolar disorder type I (BPI) runs in families and that this familial aggregation is strongly influenced by genes. In a preliminary study, we proved that anxiety trait ... -
A Mesoamerican origin of cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill.): Implications for the conservation of plant genetic resources
(2017)Knowledge on the structure and distribution of genetic diversity is a key aspect to plan and execute an efficient conservation and utilization of the genetic resources of any crop as well as for determining historical ... -

Mating and aggressive behaviour of Brachyrhaphis olomina (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae)
(2017)Despite the increasing interest in the use of intro-mittent male genitalia and coercive mating behaviour in poeciliids, detailed studies of the mating behaviour of most species in this family are lacking. We describe here ... -

(2002)Estudiamos la abundancia relativa, distribución geográfica, dieta y reproducción del Capulinero negro y amarillo (Phainoptila melanoxantha), una especie endémica a las tierras altas de Costa Rica y oeste de Panamá. A lo ... -
Seed dissemination by frugivorous birds from forest fragments to adjacent pastures on the western slope of Volcán Barva, Costa Rica
(2002)Logging, cattle raising, and agricultural activities have caused the destruction of most forested áreas in Costa Rica. In some middle and highlands the abrupt topography delayed the complete destruction of montane forest. ... -
