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 ... -
Variabilidad isotópica de peces loros y macroalgas en el Pacífico Norte de Costa Rica: una herramienta potencial para el manejo de la pesquería con compresor
(2023-09-06)Chapter 1: Coastal areas are a vital source of resources and livelihoods for millions of people around the world. Small-scale fisheries (SSF) play an essential role in supporting coastal communities and their economies. ... -
Variability of the Caribbean low-level jet during borealwinter: large-scale forcings
(2016)An index capturing the anomalies of the zonal wind at 925 hPa from 1950 to 2010 was defined to explore the relationship between the fluctuations of the Caribbean low-level jet (CLLJ) and the main climate variability modes ... -
Variación temporal ecológica de playas de arena según diferente nivel de conservación en la zona del Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica
(2022-12-06)Este documento es el informe de investigación para ACOPAC de SINAC correspondiente al muestreo ecológico de 4 playas de arena durante el año 2021. Se muestra como la playa Espadilla Norte ubicada afuera del Parque Nacional ... -
Vertical accretion and carbon burial rates in subtropical seagrass meadows increased following anthropogenic pressure from European colonisation
(2018)Seagrass meadows serve as marine carbon sinks, though rates of carbon burial and sediment accretion may vary within and among seagrass meadows due to spatial and temporal variability in sedimentary and biophysical conditions. ... -
Widespread local chronic stressors in Caribbean coastal habitats
(2017)Coastal ecosystems and the livelihoods they support are threatened by stressors acting at global and local scales. Here we used the data produced by the Caribbean Coastal Marine Productivity program (CARICOMP), the longest, ...
