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 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 ...
Evaluación de corredores biológicos en Costa Rica: estructura de paisaje y procesos de conectividad fragmentación
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2020-04-21)
En el planeta, durante los últimos años, los corredores biológicos han proliferado como respuesta al proceso acelerado de fragmentación de los ecosistemas naturales. Basada en esta estrategia, Costa Rica desde la década ...
Ecological corridors in Costa Rica: An evaluation applying landscape structure, fragmentation-connectivity process, and climate adaptation
(Society for Conservation Biology, 2021-05-20)
In recent years, ecological corridors have been proposed on a global scale as a response to the accelerated process of natural ecosystem fragmentation, mainly as a result of human impact. In accordance with this trend, ...
