(Pensoft Publishers, 2019-12-31)
Butterflies are one of the most recognized and useful groups for the monitoring and establishment of important conservation areas and management policies. In the present study, we estimate the richness and diversity, as ...
Integrating occupancy modeling and camera-trap data to estimate medium and large mammal detection and richness in a Central American biological corridor
(Tropical Conservation Science, 2013-12-01)
Noninvasive camera-traps are commonly used to survey mammal communities in the Neotropics. This study used camera-traps to survey medium and large mammal diversity in the San Juan - La Selva Biological Corridor, Costa Rica. ...
Bush Dogs in Central America: Recent Range Expansion, Cryptic Distribution, or Both?
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2019-05-01)

Determining nature’s contributions to achieve the sustainable development goals
(Springer Tokyo, 2019-03-01)
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 ...

Camera trapping ocelots: An evaluation of felid attractants
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2014)
Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) and other wild cats are often surveyed using camera traps to
identify individuals for density estimation via capture-recapture analyses or estimate occupancy
via detection/non-detection ...
Long-term comparison of the fish community in a Costa Rican rocky shore marine reserve
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica., 2010)
Despite their role in supporting diverse marine fish communities, tropical rocky shores and reefs
