Consistency in bird use of tree cover across tropical agricultural landscapes
(Ecological Applications, 2014-01-01)
In tropical regions where forests have been replaced by agriculture, the future of biodiversity is increasingly dependent on the presence of remnant forest patches and on-farm tree cover within agricultural landscapes. ...
Factors influencing the occurrence of the Endangered Baird's tapir Tapirus bairdii: Potential flagship species for a Costa Rican biological corridor
(ORYX, 2014)

Camera trapping ocelots: An evaluation of felid attractants
(Hystrix, 2014)
Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) and other wild cats are often surveyed using camera traps to identify individuals for density estimation via capture-recapture analyses or estimate occupancy via detection/non-detection analyses. ...

The role of fragmentation and landscape changes in the ecological release of common nest predators in the neotropics
(PeerJ, 2014-07)
Loss of large mammalian carnivores may allow smaller mesopredators to become abundant and threaten other community members. There is considerable debate about mesopredator release and the role that other potential factors ...
Gas measurements from the Costa Rica–Nicaragua volcanic segment suggest possible along-arc variations in volcanic gas chemistry
(Elsevier, 2014)
Obtaining accurate estimates of the CO2output from arc volcanism requires a precise understanding of the potential along-arc variations in volcanic gas chemistry, and ultimately of the magmatic gas signature of each ...
