Extracción y caracterización del almidón de las semillas deEnterolobium cyclocarpumExtraction and characterization of starch fromEnterolobium cyclocarpumseeds [PDF]

CyTA - Journal of Food, 2011
Starch was extracted from the seeds of parota tree (Enterolobium cyclocarpum), partially characterized and compared with native corn starch. The starch yield obtained from decorticated seed was 750 g/kg, a medium purity (852 g/kg), a high content of proteins (35 g/kg), and amylopectin predominance (734 g/kg).

The Impact of Landscape Disturbance on Spatial Genetic Structure in the Guanacaste Tree, Enterolobium cyclocarpum (Fabaceae) [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2009
We examined spatial genetic structure (SGS) in Enterolobium cyclocarpum (the Guanacaste tree), a dominant tree of Central American dry forests in 4 sites in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. In disturbed dry forest sites (e.g., pastures), E. cyclocarpum is primarily dispersed by cattle and horses, whose movements are restricted by pasture boundaries ...

Trees Inside and Outside of Forests in Guanacaste, Costa Rica: Comparisons Among Conservation Areas, Fencerows, and Urban Parks

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We compared the abundance and characteristics of trees in replicated plots across a rural to urban gradient in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Trees in urban parks, fencerows, and national parks provide complementary benefits and have distinct compositions.

Howler monkey foraging ecology suggests convergent evolution of routine trichromacy as an adaptation for folivory

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1421-1434, March 2017., 2017
Primates possess remarkably variable color vision, and the ecological and social factors shaping this variation remain heavily debated. Here, we examine opsin genes, feeding behaviors, and reflectance of dietary foliage of wild mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata).

Physiological and Growth Responses of Tropical Dry Forest Tree Seedlings to Water and Nutrient Additions: Comparisons Between Nitrogen Fixers and Non‐Fixers

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
This study examined the physiological and growth responses of tropical dry forest tree seedlings to water and nutrient additions, comparing nitrogen (N)‐fixing and non‐fixing species. The results showed that N‐fixing species responded more strongly to nutrient addition, accumulating significantly more biomass and increasing height growth rate. Overall,

The Lost Large Mammals of Arabia

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim If successful, plans to restore the vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (AP) as announced by the Middle East and Saudi Green Initiatives will see the greatest increase in vegetation cover since the beginning of the Holocene Humid Phase (HHP), roughly 9–10,000 years ago.

Ecuaciones alométricas, biomasa y carbono en plantaciones forestales tropicales en la costa de Jalisco

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales, 2021
La estimación de la biomasa aérea es una herramienta clave para determinar el potencial de almacenamiento de carbono de un taxón. En el occidente de México, se han establecido plantaciones forestales con especies tropicales, pero se desconoce el ...
