The conservation status of Costa Rican velvet worms (Onychophora): geographic pattern, risk assessment and comparison with New Zealand velvet worms
(Universidad Estatal a Distancia (Costa Rica), 2019-12)Introduction: Charismatic species, like the panda, play an important role in conservation, and velvet worms arguably are charismatic worms. Thanks to their extraordinary hunting mechanism, they have inspired from a ... -
The effect of high rearing densities on the growth of juveniles of the cichlid, cichlasoma managuense
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 1992-01-01)The effect of high density culture on the growth of juvenile jaguar cichlids was investigated. Mean growth rate decreased with density, while the growth rate of the largest fishes was not affected. Reduction in mean growth ... -
The effect of Ibuprofen on female and male reproduction of the open thelyca marine shrimp, Litopenaeus
(Aquaculture Research, 2013-03-11)A research was designed to explore the effect of ibuprofen (IBU) as an intervening agent for prostaglandin biosynthesis on male and female reproduction of three species of Litopenaeus. Ovarian maturation was studied in L. ... -
The first experiences of the UNA STEM network
(Centro Latinoamericano de Estudios en Informática (Chile), 2021-10)The UNA STEM Network is a proposal of several academics from the Faculties of Exact and Natural Sciences, and Earth and Sea of the National University, which aims to generate appreciation for science in Costa Rican primary ... -
The first gynandromorph of the Neotropical bee Megalopta amoena (Spinola, 1853) (Halictidae) with notes on its circadian rhythm
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020-04-27)Gynandromorphy is an anomaly that results in an organism phenotypically expressing both male and female characteristics. Here we describe the first gynandromorph of the bee species Megalopta amoena (Spinola, 1853) (Halictidae, ... -
The geographic distribution of Costa Rican velvet worms (Onychophora: Peripatidae)
(Revista de Biologia Tropical vol.64 no.4 1401-1414 2016, 2016-06-06)Velvet worms, “peripatus” or onychophorans, are “living fossils” that were geographically widespread in Cambrian seas but now occur exclusively on terrestrial habitats. The only extant species studied in some detail are ... -
The growth of juvenile jaguar guapote (Cichlasoma managuense) fed diets with different carbohydrate levels
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 1995-06-27)Se evaluó el crecimiento de juveniles del guapote tigre (Cichlasoma managuense) alimentado con dietas isocalóricas conteniendo niveles de carbohidrato del 11 al 36 por ciento. El experimento se realizó en un sistema de ... -
The histological structure of the androgenic gland and cellular cord of the male reproductive system of adult litopenaeus and rimapenaeus byrdi
(2012-05-01)The current knowledge of the precise extension and location of the androgenic gland (AG) in the genera Litopenaeus and Rimapenaeus is partial. Therefore, we analyzed the complete structure of the AG and cellular cord ... -
The interplay between irrigation and fruiting on branch growth and mortality, gas exchange and water relations of coffee trees
(Oxford University Press, 2021)The overall coordination between gas exchanges and plant hydraulics may be affected by soil water availability and source-to-sink relationships. Here we evaluated how branch growth and mortality, leaf gas exchange and ... -
The opossum and other didelphids in the cultures of Costa Rican society and indigenous peoples: an approach to ecology and conservation
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (Estados Unidos), 2024)The opossum Didelphis marsupialis, commonly referred to as the zorro pelón in Costa Rica, is a marsupial that holds significant representation in both Costa Rican and indigenous cultures, such as the Talamanca natives. ... -
The persistent embrace of onychophorans: What determines copulation duration in velvet worms?
(Universidad de Costa Rica (Costa Rica), 2019)In the only onychophorans mating that has been photographed, instead of fleeing, the couple remained together despite being manipulated. Why? The duration of copulation in onychophoran sis possibly controlled by the female, ... -
The polynucleotide kinase 3′-phosphatase gene (PNKP) is involved in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2B2) previously related to MED25
(Springer, 2018-07-24)Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) represents a heterogeneous group of hereditary peripheral neuropathies. We previously reported a CMT locus on chromosome 19q13.3 segregating with the disease in a large Costa Rican family ... -
