The influence of temperature and pH on bacterial community composition of microbial mats in hot springs from Costa Rica
(2019)
We used the 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing approach to investigate the microbial diversity and community composition in several Costa Rican hot springs alongside the latitudinal axis of the country, with a range of temperatures ...
C1 compounds shape the microbial community of an abandoned century-old oil exploration well
(2020)
The search for microorganisms that degrade hydrocarbons is highly relevant because it enables the bioremediation of these substances cheaply and without dangerous by-products. In this work, we studied the microbial communities ...
The water striders (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerridae) of Costa Rica: new species, checklist, and new records
(2018)
Brachymetra bernaldi Cordeiro, sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerridae) from Heredia, Costa Rica, is herein described, illustrated, and compared with congeners. The new species resembles B. albinervus (Amyot & Serville, ...
Chapter 6: Founder variations in isolated populations
(2020)
Isolated populations, also called population isolates and genetic isolates, present several characteristic features that make them useful in the study of the genetic basis of both Mendelian and complex disorders. The ...
Messua sp. (Salticidae), the host spider of the polysphinctine Inbioia pivai (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae)
(2019)
The koinobiont ectoparasitoids of spiders in the Polysphincta genus group are divided into two well-supported clades. Species in one clade parasitize spiders in the higher araneoid group, and the behaviour of these ...
Step‐by‐Step Pipeline for the Ecological Analysis of Endophytic Fungi using ITS nrDNA Data
(2020-01-07)
The nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) is accepted as the genetic marker or barcode of choice for the identification of fungal samples. Here, we present a protocol to analyze fungal ITS data, from ...
Life cycle and in vitro sporulation dynamics of Corinectria constricta, the causal agent of Pinus radiata stem canker, in Chile
(2020-04-07)
In 2008, a canker disease caused by the fungus Corinectria constricta was detected in southern Chile. The causal agent was previously identified as Neonectria fuckeliana (now Corinectria fuckeliana), which has been associated ...
Temperature and elemental sulfur shape microbial communities in two extremely acidic aquatic volcanic environments
(2021)
Aquatic environments of volcanic origin provide an exceptional opportunity to study the adaptations of microbial communities to early planet life conditions such as high temperatures, high metal concentrations, and low pH. ...
Phylogenetic analysis of ITS data from endophytic fungi using massive parallel bayesian tree inference with exabayes
Análisis filogenético de secuencias ITS provenientes de hongos endófitos utilizando inferencia bayesiana paralela de árboles con exabayes
(2020-03-27)
Ecological studies of fungal communities have been favored thanks to the emergence and improvement of independent culture techniques that use the ITS region as a molecular marker. This has allowed a more accurate identification ...
Two new species of Rhagovelia (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Veliidae) from Costa Rica, with a key and new records from the country
(2015)
Rhagovelia danpolhemi sp. nov., from the Caribbean Slope of Costa Rica and R. springerae sp. nov., from the northern portion of the country, are described, illustrated, compared with similar species, and included in a key ...
