Environmental heterogeneity dynamics drive plant diversity on oceanic islands
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 47, Issue 10, Page 2248-2260, October 2020., 2020 Abstract Aim The General Dynamic Model (GDM) links island biogeographical processes to island geological history. A key premise of the GDM implies that environmental factors shaping the ecology and evolution of biota on oceanic islands follow a hump‐shaped trend over the island's life span and drive dynamics in carrying capacity, species diversity and ...

Isla del Coco, on Cocos Plate, converges with Isla de San Andrés, on the Caribbean Plate, at 78mm/yr
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012 Isla del Coco is the only land mass of the Cocos Plate that emerges above sea level. This makes it the only place where Cocos Plate motion can be measured using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) monitoring.

Ultraviolet radiation at Isla del Coco (Cocos Island) National Park, Costa Rica.
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2016 <p>Incoming solar energy that reaches the land surface is divided mainly in infrared, visible and UV. UV radiation has wave lengths from 100 to 400 nm. The World Health Organization recommends studies and monitoring of UV radiation because of its biological effects in living organisms.<strong> </strong>The use of automatic Davis ...

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 ...

Multidecadal underwater surveys reveal declines in marine turtles
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2024.Analysis of 22 years of marine turtle in‐water surveys revealed significant declines in relative abundance, despite protection within the survey area. This work provides important insights into long‐term population trends of Endangered green and hawksbill turtles in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, and uses a series of mixed models to examine ...
