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 ...

Crustaceans in Phragmatopoma sp. (Polychaeta: Sabellariidae) intertidal reefs, Pacific, Costa Rica

Cuadernos de investigación UNED, 2023
Introduction: Annelid polychaete worms of the family Sabellariidae build reefs by cementing together sand grains. These reefs increase local habitat heterogeneity and species diversity.

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.

Identification of Population Affinity Using Dental Traits: A Narrative Review in Forensic Odontology

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Forensic odontology utilizes dental morphology to estimate population affinity in medico‐legal cases. This review examines the role of dental traits in human identification, emphasizing their limitations in conclusively estimating ancestry or ethnicity.

Temporarily Increased Recurrence Rate of Shallow Slow Slip Events Driven by Significant Afterslip Following the 2012 Mw 7.6 Nicoya Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract Slow slip events (SSEs) release tectonic strain without causing sudden ground shaking. SSEs have been observed at many subduction zones, some dynamically triggered by stress changes due to the passage of seismic waves. However, there are limited observations of SSEs induced by post‐seismic deformation. Here, we report a significant increase in
