(2018)When conservation can keep up with development´s pace: Health status of coral ecosystems in the North Pacific of Costa Rica. Coral reefs are diverse and productive ecosystems, despite this, they are being threatened by ... -
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 ... -
Benefits of protection on reef fish assemblages in a human impacted region in Costa Rica
(2019)In recent years, there has been a health decrease in marine ecosystems. Due to this accelerated degradation, there is a more pressing need to investigate the effectiveness of MPAs in these degraded zones. In this work, we ... -
Coordinated hunting behaviors of mixed-species groups of piscivores and associated species at Isla del Coco National Park (Eastern Tropical Pacific)
(2019)Studies of mixed-species groups of animals can reveal emergent complexities of collective behaviors. In this study we collected data on mixed-species hunting groups composed primarily of piscivorous fishes (species ... -

(2020)Abstract: Population parameters of Diadema mexicanum have not yet been studied; therefore, the objective of this work was to describe, for the first time, the growth and mortality by age of this sea urchin. The growth curve ... -
Impact of El Niño 2015-2016 on the coral reefs of the Pacific of Costa Rica: the potential role of marine protection
(2020)Introduction: El Niño 2015-2016 was considered one of the most severe worldwide, causing the third global event of coral bleaching. Previous high-intensity El Niño events (1982-83 and 1997-98) caused high coral mortalities ... -
Myxomycetes of Thailand
(2010)After the first report of myxomycetes from Thailand in 1902, there were only a few papers dealing specifically with these organisms over the following 85 years. In 2004, intensive ecological studies of myxomycetes began ... -
Notes on a rapid assessment of myxomycetes for Kabylie, Algeria
(2010)Studies of myxomycetes in some regions of the w orld are limited. orthern Africa is one prominent example. For this reason, a rapid assessment of myxomycete diversity in four study areas w ithin the Kabylie region of Algeria ... -
