Academics and policy-makers recognize that humans and nature should be studied and managed as integrated social–ecological systems. Recently, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem ...
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 ...
Wildlife diversity and relative abundance among a variety of adjacent protected areas in the northern Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica
(MDPI AG, 2020-04-01)
Protected areas are intended to achieve the long-term conservation of nature, but not all such areas are equal in their effectiveness because of their varying regulation of human activities. In Costa Rica, we assessed ...
Population status, connectivity, and conservation action for the endangered Baird's tapir
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-05)
Although many large mammals currently face significant threats that could lead to their extinction, resources for conservation are often scarce, resulting in the need to develop efficient plans to prioritize conservation ...

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 ...
Consumption of wild rice (Oryza latifolia) by free-ranging jaguars, pumas, and ocelots (Carnivora-Felidae) in northwestern Costa Rica
(Elsevier Inc., 2020-03)
There is limited information about plant consumption by felid species, yet anecdotal
evidence suggests that plants and grass are a complementary component in the diet of
domestic and wild carnivores. We report opportunistic ...
Precipitous decline of white-lipped peccary populations in Mesoamerica
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-02)
Large mammalian herbivores are experiencing population reductions and range declines. However, we lack regional knowledge of population status for many herbivores, particularly in developing countries. Addressing this ...
