La documentación florística de El Rodeo se remonta a finales del siglo XIX y a la fecha se conocen 1 034 especies de plantas vasculares nativas o naturalizadas y 47 especies introducidas cultivadas (ornamentals o de interés ...
Distribución de las formas de vida en la flora costarricense
(2008)
La diversidad de plantas de un país o región se puede interpretar desde la perspectiva ecológica de las especies utilizando un sistema de clasificación por “formas de vida”. En este trabajo (1) se describe la diversidad ...
Establishment of Epiphytic Bromeliads in Successional Tropical Premontane Forests in Costa Rica
(2008)
Plant community composition is the combined result of species‐specific competitive abilities and the availability of propagules. For epiphytic plants, current hypotheses consider that dispersal‐related factors are most ...
Dispersal limitation in epiphytic bromeliad communities in a Costa Rican fragmented montane landscape
(2009)
Transformation of tropical forests is likely to affect seed-dispersal patterns and influence the composition of epiphytic plant communities in human-altered habitats. We tested this hypothesis by carrying out a comparative ...
Neotropical flowering epiphyte diversity: local composition and geographic affinities
(2013)
Worldwide, the highest diversity of vascular epiphytic plants resides in the Neotropics. The general pattern of taxonomic composition of the neotropical epiphytic flora has been described, but information regarding the ...
Tree turnover in a premontane neotropical forest (1998–2009) in Costa Rica
(2011)
Tropical premontane forests between 700 and 1,400 m.a.s.l. represent a particular component of the gamma diversity of neotropical ecosystems; however, the extent of information about their dynamics lags behind the more ...
Wasp florivory decreases reproductive success in an epiphytic bromeliad
(2009)
Flower predation or florivory may alter the sexual expression, floral display, and reduce the reproductive success in plants. In this article, we estimated the effect of florivory on the reproductive success of the epiphytic ...
Nota sobre la historia natural de Acineta (Orchidaceae) y su abeja polinizadora, Eufriesea concava (Hymenoptera: Apidae), en Costa Rica
(2011)
This paper reports the interaction between Acineta chrysantha (Orchidaceae) and Eufriesea concava (Apidae) in a cloud forest in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. The purpose is to encourage researchers and students to ...
A remarkable new species and additional novelties of Chamaedorea from Costa Rica and Panamá. Notables nuevas especies y novedades adicionales de Chamaedorea de Costa Rica y Panamá
(1997)
Three of the four new spp. of Chamaedorea (Arecaceae) described here are endemic (as far as is known) to Costa Rica. The "remarkable" one is C. piscifolia Hodel, G. Herrera & Casc., with simple, apically bifid and long-caudate, ...
Complex phylogeographic patterns indicate Central American origin of two widespread Mesoamerican Quercus (Fagaceae) species
(2017)
The northern Neotropical region is characterized by a heterogeneous geological and climatic history. Recent studies have shown contrasting patterns regarding the role of geographic elements as barriers that could have ...
