Relación entre la presencia de equinos de trabajo (Equus caballus) y la distribución espacial y temporal del venado cola blanca (odocoileus virginianus) en el Parque Nacional Santa Rosa
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2020-10)Los caballos (Equus caballus) han sido grandes aliados en la restauración del bosque seco del Parque Nacional Santa Rosa (PNSR), ubicado en el pacífico norte de Costa Rica, al ser usados como agentes dispersores de ... -
Reproduction of white-tailed deer in a seasonally dry tropical forest of Costa Rica: A test of aseasonality
(Oxford University Press, 2020-02-21)The reproductive season of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) has been hypothesized to be aseasonal south of about 14°–18°N latitude, where annual variation in day length is low. We tested this idea by using camera-trap ... -
Scavenging on sea turtle carcasses by multiple jaguars in northwestern Costa Rica
(Therya, 2016)Information on scavenging by jaguars is scarce, dispersed and little documented in the scientific literature, producing a shallow understanding of this phenomenon. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to describe the behavior ... -
Seasonal use of waterholes and pathways by macrofauna in the dry forest of Costa Rica
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-03-01)Temporal and spatial scarcity of water in semi-arid and seasonal ecosystems often leads to changes in movements and behaviour of large vertebrates, and in the neotropics this dynamic is poorly understood due to logistical ... -
Serosurvey of selected arboviral pathogens in freeranging, two-toed sloths (Choloepus hoffmanni) and three-toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus) in Costa Rica, 2005–07
(Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2016-10-01)We screened for antibodies to 16 arboviruses in four populations of free-ranging sloths in Costa Rica. Blood samples were taken from 16 Hoffman's two-toed sloths (HTSs; Choloepus hoffmanni) and 26 brown-throated sloths ... -
Soundscape structure in forests surrounded by protected and productive areas in central Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2023-03-09)Ecosystems are under a multitude of pressures, including land-use change, overexploitation, pollution, and climate change. Most studies, resources, and conservation efforts are allocated to protected areas, while anthropogenic ... -
Temporal and spatial resource use by female three-toed sloths and their young in an agricultural landscape in Costa Rica
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2011-12)The information on ecological behavior of wild sloths is very scarce. In this study we determined the home ranges and resources used by three adult female three-toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus) and their four young in ... -
The big free-tailed bat, Nyctinomops macrotis (Gray, 1839), in central America [El murciélago grande de cola libre, Nyctinomops macrotis (Gray, 1839), en Centro América]
(Mastozoologia Neotropical, 2016-12)The big free-tailed bat, Nyctinomops macrotis, is a large molossid with a discontinuous distribution in the southwestern United States and most of Mexico (northern range), and northern South America (southern range). In ... -
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 ... -
Uso de Ciencia Ciudadana para Determinar Factores de Mortalidad en sitios de Atropellamiento del oso hormiguero (Tamandua mexicana) en carreteras de Costa
(Uinversida de Antioquia, Colombia, 2019)EL USO DE CIENCIA CIUDADANA PARA DETERMINAR FACTORES DE MORTALIDAD EN SITIOS DE ATROPELLAMIENTO DEL OSO HORMIGUERO (Tamandua mexicana) EN CARRETERAS DE COSTA RICA Joel C. Sáenz, Gutíerrez, Diego. Instituto Internacional ... -
