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 ... -
Abundance, habitat and body measurements of the rare Long-clawed Mouse (Pearsonomys annectens) in the coastal temperate rainforest of southern Chile
(Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment, 2012)Based on rodent trappings in eight localities from 1998 to 2005 (14,984 trap-nights), we provide detailed information on abundance, habitat and additional body measurements of the Long-clawed Mouse (Pearsonomys annectens), ... -
Olive ridley mass nesting ecology and egg harvest at ostional beach, Costa Rica
(Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2012-06)The olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), a species listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as vulnerable, is characterized by its mass-nesting behavior, also known as arribada. For decades, ... -
Consensus on Criteria for Potential Areas for Wolf Reintroduction in Mexico
(Conservation Biology, 2012-07-19)Given the conflict with human interests that in many cases results in the extirpation of large carnivores, acceptance of their reintroduction is a considerable challenge. By the 1980s Mexican wolves (Canis lupus) were ... -
Detecting river otter Lontra canadensis latrines near bridges: Does habitat and season influence survey success?
(Wildlife Biology, 2012-09)During 2006, we conducted riparian surveys to detect river otter Lontra canadensis latrines at 15 bridge-suites along riverine habitats in southwestern Pennsylvania and western Maryland, USA. We defined a bridge-suite as ... -
Jaguar and puma attacks on livestock in Costa Rica
(Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2013)Human-felid conflicts threaten long-term conservation of jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma concolor). We interviewed ranchers from 50 ranches and inspected farms in northern Costa Rica that reported recent attacks ... -
Highly diversified coronaviruses in neotropical bats
(Journal of General Virology, 2013-09-01)Bats host a broad diversity of coronaviruses (CoVs), including close relatives of human pathogens. There is only limited data on neotropical bat CoVs. We analysed faecal, blood and intestine specimens from 1562 bats sampled ... -

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. ... -
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 ... -
