Co‐management of culturally important species: A tool to promote biodiversity conservation and human well‐being

People and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 61-81, March 2020., 2020
Abstract Co‐management has been advocated as an effective tool to achieve natural resource conservation worldwide. Yet, the potential of co‐management arrangements can fail to be realized when there is insufficient local engagement. In this perspective paper, we argue that co‐management schemes focusing on culturally important species (CIS) can help ...

Middle to Late Miocene Contractional Deformation in Costa Rica Triggered by Plate Geodynamics [PDF]

, 2017
Contractional deformation in Costa Rica is usually attributed to the subduction of the aseismic Cocos Ridge. In this work, we review the evidences for contraction in the middle to late Miocene, prior to the arrival of the Cocos Ridge at the Middle ...

Seismogenic zone structure of the southern Middle America Trench, Costa Rica [PDF]

, 2003
The shallow seismogenic portion of subduction zones generates damaging large and great earthquakes. This study provides structural constraints on the seismogenic zone of the Middle America Trench offshore central Costa Rica and insights into the physical

The Caribbean and Farallon Plates Connected: Constraints From Stratigraphy and Paleomagnetism of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 124, Issue 7, Page 6243-6266, July 2019., 2019
Abstract Plate kinematic reconstructions play an essential role in our understanding of global geodynamics, but become increasingly difficult to constrain back in geological time due to the subduction of oceanic lithosphere. Here, we attempt to kinematically reconstruct the Cretaceous and older plate tectonic history of the Caribbean Plate within the ...

Headwaters to oceans: Ecological and biogeochemical contrasts across the aquatic continuum

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 62, Issue S1, Page S3-S14, November 2017., 2017
Abstract While the disciplines of oceanography and limnology often operate in isolate, freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems are intricately linked. The emphasis of this special issue for Limnology and Oceanography is on the aquatic continuum and the connectivity between aquatic ecosystems from headwater streams and inland waters, to coastal and

Benthic Macrofauna Associated with Submerged Bottoms of a Tectonic Estuary in Tropical Eastern Pacific

Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The composition and distribution of the main associations of submerged macrobenthos of Bahía Málaga (Colombian pacific coast), were studied in relation to the distribution of hard and soft substrates and some abiotic factors. Eight localities were sampled during six months: three in the external border of the estuary and five in the inner part.
