Determinants of reef fish assemblages in tropical Oceanic islands
(2019)Diversity patterns are determined by biogeographic, energetic, and anthropogenic factors, yet few studies have combined them into a large‐scale framework in order to decouple and compare their relative effects on fish ... -
Detritus camouflage in webs of Helvibis longicauda (Araneae: Theridiidae)
(2007)Adult females of Helvibis longicauda accumulated tiny pieces of vegetation in the mesh of their webs. The amount of debris accumulated was much greater in webs of spiders with either egg sacs, spiderlings or juveniles than ... -
Developmental morphology of granular skin glands in pre-metamorphic egg-eating poison frogs
(2017)Parents in many taxa, including insects, mol- luscs, fish, snakes, and amphibians provision chemical defences, such as peptides, steroids, or alkaloids to their offspring to reduce the risk of predation. In most cases, ... -

(2009-11-01)"La quebrada Camaronera en Manuel Antonio se considera un objeto de conservación y un valor natural para el Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, encentrándose actualmente con un alto grado de amenaza. El objetivo de este estudio ... -
El diagnóstico en psiquiatría: una discusión teórica y práctica para el abordaje clínico
(2017)El artículo aborda las dificultades en el diagnóstico psiquiátrico por las características propias de estos trastornos que, junto con la definición de lo patológico desde la prescripción de lo moralmente aceptado y los ... -
Diet and Leukocyte Telomere Length in a Population with Extended Longevity: The Costa Rican Longevity and Healthy Aging Study (CRELES)
(2021)Elderly Costa Ricans have lower mortality rates compared to their counterparts from developed countries. Reasons for this survival advantage are not completely known. In the present study, we aimed to identify dietary ... -
Differences in escape behavior between a cryptic and an aposematic litter frog
(2011)Clay models have been used to investigate the relative antipredator effectiveness of cryptic and of aposematic coloration in litter frogs, but such studies do not account for possible differences in prey escape behavior. ... -
Differences in plasmatic butyrylcholinesterases (BChE) values between Pacific and Caribbean populations of terciopelo (Bothrops asper) in Costa Rica
(2019)The terciopelo (Bothrops asper) inhabits human-modified environments such as agricultural areas, becoming more prone to be exposed to organophosphate insecticides. These chemicals can inhibit plasmatic butyrylcholinesterases ... -
Differences in web features between two sympatric Leucauge species (Araneae: Tetragnathidae) suggest a trade-off in prey capture strategy
(2021)The design of orb webs is affected by multiple abiotic (e.g., wind, available space), biotic (e.g., prey availability, predation), and species specific (e.g., spider size) factors. Thus, some features of each spider web ... -
Different Messages are Transmitted by Individual Duet Contributions and Complete Duets in a Species with Highly Overlapped Duets
(2018)Background: Duet function hypotheses have been mostly studied in bird species that produce duets with male and female solo songs. However, in order to understand if patterns of duet function are similar across all duetting ... -
Differentiation in reproductive traits of geminatemangrove crabs of the genus Aratus (Decapoda: Brachyura)across the Central American Isthmus
(2016)The mangrove crab Aratus pisonii was considered to have an amphi-American distribution; however, a recent study revealed that the Eastern Tropical Pacific populations were genetically distinct, thus representing a new ... -
Diketopiperazines from Costa Rican endolichenic fungus Colpoma sp. CR1465A
(2016-05-15)Three new diketopiperazines (1–3), cyclo(l-Pro-d-trans-Hyp) (1), cyclo(l-Pro-d-Glu) (2), and cyclo(d-Pro-d-Glu) (3) and five known diketopiperazines (4–8) were isolated from the endolichenic fungus Colpoma sp. CR1465A ... -
Dinámica de Activación e Inactivación del Sistema de Dos Componentes BvrR/BvrS durante la Vida Intracelular de Brucella
(2021-11)Las bacterias del género Brucella son patógenos intracelulares de vertebrados con la capacidad facultativa de crecer extracelularmente. El establecimiento de la vida intracelular de Brucella involucra al menos cuatro ... -
Discovery of cahuitamycins as biofilm inhibitors derived from a convergent biosynthetic pathway
(2016-02-16)Pathogenic microorganisms often have the ability to attach to a surface, building a complex matrix where they colonize to form a biofilm. This cellular superstructure can display increased resistance to antibiotics and ...
