Pesca artesanal en Bahía Salinas, Guanacaste: factores ambientales y socioeconómicos relevantes para su gestión
(2013)La comunidad de El Jobo es una zona dedicada de forma exclusiva a la pesca artesanal. No obstante, presenta capturas por unidad de esfuerzo muy bajas durante todo el año, a pesar de mostrar un afloramiento costero que ... -
Polychaetes associated with decaying wood in Térraba mangrove, South Pacific, Costa Rica
(2015)The present study shows spatial patterns in the faunal assemblage of decaying wood and sediments, with emphasis on the polychaetes. The survey was executed across a salinity gradient in a tropical mangrove estuary of Costa ... -
Productividad primaria en el Humedal Nacional Térraba-Sierpe, Costa Rica
(2015)Se determinó la productividad primaria (PP) del fitoplancton en un amplio sector del Humedal Nacional Térraba Sierpe (HNTS) de Costa Rica, durante la estación lluviosa del año 2008 y en la estación seca del año 2009. Seis ... -
Proporción sexual, estado nutricional y origen natal de las tortugas marinas Chelonia mydas y Eretmochelys imbricata en un sitio de alimentación en el Pacífico Norte de Costa Rica
(2022-12)Todas las especies de tortugas marinas suelen pasar un importante periodo de sus vidas concentras en distintas áreas de alimentación, sitios donde distintos grupos etarios mantienen una convivencia simpátrica para alimentarse ... -
Rapid bioerosion in a tropical upwelling coral reef
(2018)Coral reefs persist in an accretion-erosion balance, which is critical for understanding the natural variability of sediment production, reef accretion, and their effects on the carbonate budget. Bioerosion (i.e. biodegradation ... -
Reef flattening effects on total richness and species responses in the Caribbean
(2015-09-06)1. There has been ongoing flattening of Caribbean coral reefs with the loss of habitat having severe implications for these systems. Complexity and its structural components are important to fish species richness and ... -
Residencia, Patrones de Movimiento y Uso de Hábitat de Dos Especies de Pargo (Lutjanidae) en una Bahía Tropical Mediante Monitoreo Acústico y Ciencia Ciudadana
(2023-10-05)Capítulo 1. Residencia, movimientos y uso del hábitat de dos especies de pargos en una bahía estuarina tropical sometida a un afloramiento estacional. Las condiciones ecológicas y ambientales son determinantes importantes ... -
Seagrass morphometrics at species level in Moreton Bay, Australia from 2012 to 2013
(2017)Seagrass above, below and total biomass, density and leaf area, length and width were quantified at a species level for 122 sites over three sampling periods in Moreton Bay, Australia. Core samples were collected in two ... -
Seasonal changes of the microplankton community along a tropical estuary
(2015-11)Microplankton organisms are an important link in the transfer of matter and energy between the benthic–pelagic microbial food web and higher trophic levels in estuaries. Although tropical estuaries are among the most ... -
Seasonal phenology of Sargassum liebmannii J. Agardh (Fucales, Heterokontophyta) in an upwelling area of the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2014)Seasonal changes in growth, biomass, abundance and reproduction of brown algae have been reported from subtropical and temperate regions, but there are very few reports from tropical regions, and none from the Eastern ... -
Simulated overfishing and natural eutrophication promote the relative success of a non-indigenous ascidian in coral reefs at the Pacific coast of Costa Rica
(2017)Colonial ascidians of the genus Didemnum are common fouling organisms and are typically associated with degraded ecosystems and anthropogenic structures installed in the sea. In this study, however, the non-indigenous ... -
Systematics and biogeography of Pleurobranchus Cuvier, 1804, sea slugs (Heterobranchia: Nudipleura: Pleurobranchidae)
(2015)Species of Pleurobranchus (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Nudipleura: Pleurobranchidae) are commonly found worldwide, but there is a substantial amount of confusion regarding the ranges and identification of individual ... -
Upwelling Increases Net Primary Production of Corals and Reef-Wide Gross Primary Production Along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica
(2015-12-23)Photosynthetic production is a key ecosystem service provided by tropical coral reefs, but knowledge about the contribution of corals and other reef-associated organisms and the controlling environmental factors is scarce. ... -
Using eDNA to determine the source of organic carbon in seagrass meadows
(2017)Seagrasses sequester globally significant amounts of carbon (C), which is stored mainly in the sediment. BothC fixation by the seagrass (autochthonous) and the trapping of organic matter that is derived from outside ...
