DNA-assisted identification of Caulerpa (Caulerpaceae, Chlorophyta) reduces species richness estimates for the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2016)
Taxonomy and species richness estimates for the genus Caulerpa have proven challenging due to the difficulty of assessing morphological species limits. In the present study we evaluate the taxonomy of the genus and assess ...

Mycorhizal diversity of epiphytic orchids in a hyperdiverse tropical forest: insights on temporal and life stage changes
(2018)
Few studies have examined the diversity of fungal communities of epiphytic orchids from hyperdiverse tropical forests and its temporal dynamics. This study aims to describe the fungal diversity associated with three tropical, ...

Substrate vibrations in the scorpion Centruroides margaritatus (Scorpiones: Buthidae) during courtship
(Rev. Biol. Trop. (Int. J. Trop. Biol. ISSN-0034-7744) Vol. 57 (Suppl. 1): 267-274, November 2009, 2009-11)
Mating behavior in Centruroides margaritatus, as in other scorpion species, includes a series of rapid
rocking or shaking movements of the male (“juddering”). It has been suggested that substrate vibrations are
generated ...
A time- and cost-effective strategy to sequence mammalian Y Chromosomes: an application to the de novo assembly of gorilla Y
(2016-02)
The mammalian Y Chromosome sequence, critical for studying male fertility and dispersal, is enriched in repeats and palindromes, and thus, is the most difficult component of the genome to assemble. Previously, expensive ...
Phenology of myxomycetes in Turrialba, Costa Rica

Long-term monitoring and phenological patterns
of microbial communities are rare in the scientific
literature. Myxomycetes have life cycle characteristics
that allow both to be documented. The present
study summarizes ...

An Insect Herbivore Microbiome with High Plant Biomass-Degrading Capacity
(PLoS Genetics. September 2010. Volume 6, Issue 9. e1001129, 2010-09)
Herbivores can gain indirect access to recalcitrant carbon present in plant cell walls through symbiotic associations with lignocellulolytic microbes. A paradigmatic example is the leaf-cutter ant (Tribe: Attini), which ...
