Global Human Footprint on the Linkage between Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Reef Fishes
(2011)
Difficulties in scaling up theoretical and experimental results have raised controversy over the consequences of biodiversity loss for the functioning of natural ecosystems. Using a global survey of reef fish assemblages, ...
Elasmobranch bycatch associated with the shrimp trawl fishery off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, Central America
(2015)
Demersal sharks and rays
are common yet vulnerable components
of the bycatch in tropical bottom-trawl
fisheries. Little is known
about the elasmobranch assemblages
associated with most of these fisheries,
particularly ...
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. ...
Abundance patterns (1984-1987 / 1994-1998) of polychaete worms (Annelida) from an estuarine tidal flat, Pacific, Costa Rica
(2015-12)
The objectives of this report are to provide an updated list of the annelid polychaete worm species found at a tropical estuarine intertidal flat, describe long term oscillations of 11 of the species, and the impact of red ...

Benthic macrofauna found in Sandy beaches from Osa Conservation Area, Puntarenas, Southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica
(2015)
Se describe la diversidad y composición de especies las playas de arena del Pacífico Sur de Costa Rica. En las playas de arena de la región, se colectó individuos de la infauna por medio de barrenos. Para la zona de entre ...
Ecological assessments of the coral reef communities in the Eastern Caribbean and the effects of herbivory in influencing coral juvenile density and algal cover
(2017)
Caribbean reefs have been unevenly surveyed, with many areas lacking baseline data. In this study, the current status of Orbicella reefs, a structurally complex forereef habitat, was quantified in an understudied region, ...
Análisis de datos de CTD de campañas oceanográficas recientes en el Pacífico Tropical del Este, Costa Rica
(2017)
Un CTD es un instrumento oceanográfico el cual permite medir la conductividad, temperatura y presión. Los datos producidos por un CTD permiten calcular otras variables como la salinidad. La información generada permite la ...
One year weekly dynamics of limnological conditions and phytoplankton in Lake Bonilla, Costa Rica
(2016)
The detailed response of tropical lake phytoplankton to weather variations has been little studied, but it seems that composition varies in response to rain and wind variability over the course of the year. In order to ...
Feeding ecology of common demersal elasmobranch species in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica inferred from stable isotope and stomach content analyses
(2015)
Knowledge of the feeding ecology and trophic interactions of marine species is essential to understanding food web dynamics and developing ecosystem-based management approaches. Given that many top predatory fishes have ...
