Megaherbivore exclusion led to more complex seagrass canopies and increased biomass and sediment Corg pools in a tropical meadow
(2022)
In some regions of the Caribbean Sea, seagrasses have been negatively affected by sea turtle overgrazing. Seagrass canopy complexity has declined at a long-term monitoring site in Costa Rica. We deployed megaherbivore ...
Human waste used as nesting material affects nest cooling in the clay-colored thrush
(2021-09-01)
The internal temperature of nests largely depends on the materials used in their construction because the characteristics of each material affect the isolation of nest walls. In urban environments, the availability of
natural ...
Draft Genome Sequences of Two Cyanobacteria Leptolyngbya spp. Isolated from Microbial Mats in Miravalles Thermal Spring, Costa Rica
(2021)
We report the draft genome sequences of Leptolyngbya sp. strain 7M and Leptolyngbya sp. strain 15MV, isolated from Miravalles Thermal Spring, Costa Rica. The thermophilic cyanobacteria exhibit unique diversity features ...

(2015-08)
Ambrosia is an Asteraceous genus of flowering plants, which has about 40-45 species, and their geographical distribution ranges from the USA, Mexico, and Central America to South America. The aim of this work was to study ...
Quantitative Physiology Approaches to Understand and Optimize Reducing Power Availability in Environmental Bacteria
(2015-06-04)
The understanding of how carbon fluxes are distributed through a metabolic network offers an overview of the pathways that a given microorganism uses to produce energy, reducing power, and biomass. These invaluable data ...
Effect of Gamma Irradiation and Selection with Fungus Filtrate (Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn) on the in Vitro Culture of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
(2015)
The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of gamma irradiation (dose from 10 to 100 Gy) and in vitro selection with fungus filtrate as selecting agent (concentration from 20% to 100%) on the susceptibility ...
Notes on a rapid assessment of myxomycetes for Kabylie, Algeria
(2010)
Studies of myxomycetes in some regions of the w orld are limited. orthern Africa is one prominent example. For this reason, a rapid assessment of myxomycete diversity in four study areas w ithin the Kabylie region of Algeria ...
Detection of a synthetic sex steroid in the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus): Evidence for a novel environmental androgen
(2017-08)
Endocrine-disrupting contaminants (EDC's) are well known to alter sexual differentiation among vertebrates via estrogenic effects during development, particularly in organisms characterized by
temperature-dependent sex ...
Role of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in remediation of anthropogenic soil pollution
(2021-05)
Agricultural and industrial activity generates high concentrations of organic and inorganic pollutants, many of which are incorporated into the trophic chain, affecting ecosystems. There are several strategies for the ...
