Dietary resource overlap among three species of frugivorous bat in Costa Rica
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-05-03)
The maintenance of biodiversity in tropical forests is thought to be dependent on fine-scale
mechanisms of niche partitioning that allow species to coexist. This study examined whether
three species of short-tailed fruit ...
Isolation on a remote island: genetic and morphological differentiation of a cosmopolitan odonate
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-06-01)
Although low levels of genetic structure are expected in highly widespread species, geographical and/or ecological factors
can limit species distributions and promote population structure and morphological differentiation. ...
Growth and hydrogen production by three Chlamydomonas strains cultivated in a commercial fertilizer
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019-04-19)
In the present investigation, we report the growth and hydrogen production of two wild
type Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strains isolated from a tropical oxidation pond in Costa Rica.
The performance of these two new isolates ...

Beta diversity and oligarchic dominance in the tropical forests of Southern Costa Rica
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019-03)
Recent studies have reported a consistent pattern of strong dominance of a small
subset of tree species in neotropical forests. These species have been called “hyperdominant” at large geographical scales and “oligarchs” ...
Changes in digestive enzymes activities during the initial ontogeny of wolf cichlid, Parachromis dovii (Perciformes: Cichlidae)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia, 2019)
Wolf cichlid, Parachromis dovii, is a species with a high potential for aquaculture in Central America; however, the knowledge of the digestive physiology in larvae period is limited. For these reason, this study evaluated ...
Biomass allocation and gas exchange are affected by light conditions in endangered Cedrela salvadorensis (Meliaceae) seedlings
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2016)
The determination of favorable light habitat conditions per species and life stage is transcendental,
for both ex situ and in situ conservation strategies of endangered forest tree species, and for their utilization as ...
Cloning, purification and characterization of nigrelysin, a novel actinoporin from the sea anemone Anthopleura nigrescens
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
Actinoporins constitute a unique class of pore-forming toxins found in sea anemones that being secreted
as soluble monomers are able to bind and permeabilize membranes leading to cell death. The interest in
these proteins ...
Cuatro nuevos registros para la flora hondureña y un listado preliminar de pteridófitas y licófitas para la Reserva del Hombre y Biosfera del Río Plátano, Honduras
