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 ...
NC10 bacteria in marine oxygen minimum zones
(2016-08-10)
Bacteria of the NC10 phylum link anaerobic methane oxidation to nitrite denitrification through a unique O2-producing intra-aerobic methanotrophy pathway. A niche for NC10 in the pelagic ocean has not been confirmed. We ...
Interannual variability of the midsummer drought in Central America and the connection with sea surface temperatures
(2016)
The midsummer drought (MSD) in Central America is characterised in order to create annual indexes representing the timing of its phases (start, minimum and end), and other features relevant for MSD forecasting such as the ...
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 ...
Cambios en la cobertura de manglares en Bahía Culebra, Pacífico Norte de Costa Rica (1945-2010)
Changes in mangrove coverage in Culebra Bay, North Pacific of Costa Rica (1945-2010)
(2016)
Los manglares tienen gran importancia ecológica, económica, riqueza natural y prestan servicios ambientales. No obstante, son amenazados por la sobreexplotación, la contaminación y el cambio de uso de suelo. Costa Rica ...
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 ...
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 ...
Avances en el análisis de datos de CTD de la Isla del Coco, Pacífico Tropical del Este, Costa Rica
(2018-02-14)
Se compiló una base de datos
oceanográficos obtenidos por medio de 8 campañas
científicas a la Isla del Coco. Las mediciones se realizaron
utilizando un CTD, instrumento que permite medir
ciertas propiedades físicas ...
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 ...
Hierarchical spatial patterns in Caribbean reef benthic assemblages
(2015)
Aim: Coral assemblages on Caribbean reefs have largely been considered to be biogeographically homogeneous at a regional scale. We reassess this in three taxa (corals, sponges and octocorals) using three community attributes ...
