Deepwater fish assemblages at Isla del Coco National Park and Las Gemelas Seamount, Costa Rica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The deepwater faunas of oceanic islands and seamounts of the Eastern Tropical Pacific are poorly known. From 11-22 September 2009 we conducted an exploration of the deepwater areas of the Isla del Coco Marine Conservation Area, Costa Rica and a nearby ...

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 ...

Investigation into experimental toxicological properties of plant protection products having a potential link to Parkinson's disease and childhood leukaemia

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2017., 2017
Abstract In 2013, EFSA published a literature review on epidemiological studies linking exposure to pesticides and human health outcome. As a follow up, the EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their residues (PPR Panel) was requested to investigate the plausible involvement of pesticide exposure as a risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and

Characterization of deepwater invertebrates at Isla del Coco National Park and Las Gemelas Seamount, Costa Rica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The deepwater faunas of oceanic islands and seamounts of the Eastern Tropical Pacific are poorly known. From 11-22 September 2009, we conducted an exploration of the deepwater areas around Isla del Coco National Park and Las Gemelas Seamount, located ...

Effects of Delayed Metamorphosis on Larval Survival, Metamorphosis, and Juvenile Performance of Four Closely Related Species of Tropical Sea Urchins (Genus Echinometra)

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
We report here, the effects of extended competency on larval survival, metamorphosis, and postlarval juvenile growth of four closely related species of tropical sea urchins, Echinometra sp. A (Ea), E. mathaei (Em), Echinometra sp. C (Ec), and E. oblonga (Eo). Planktotrophic larvae of all four species fed on cultured phytoplankton (Chaetoceros gracilis)

The Protracted Evolution of a Plate Boundary: Eastern Cuba Block and Old Bahamas Channel

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract The Eastern Cuban block has experienced a complex tectonic history characterized by plate interactions, resulting in a diverse array of geological features observable in the offshore sedimentary record. We investigate the tectonic evolution of offshore Eastern Cuba, specifically in the Old Bahamas Channel and its surrounding areas, by ...

Review of the Bat Flies of Honduras, Central America (Diptera: Streblidae)

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Streblid bat flies are obligate and host‐specific blood‐feeding ectoparasites of bats. While the bat flies of some American countries are well studied (e.g., Panama, Venezuela), little is known about Honduran Streblidae. Accumulation of substantial numbers of specimens, from several different collections, has enabled a relatively thorough treatment of ...

Ocean protection quality is lagging behind quantity: Applying a scientific framework to assess real marine protected area progress against the 30 by 30 target

Conservation Letters, Volume 17, Issue 3, May/June 2024.
Abstract The international community set a global conservation target to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 (“30 × 30”) to reverse biodiversity loss, including through marine protected areas (MPAs). However, varied MPAs result in significantly different conservation outcomes, making MPA coverage alone an inadequate metric.

High genotypic diversity of the reef-building coral Porites lobata (Scleractinia: Poritidae) in Isla del Coco National Park, Costa Rica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The isolated Isla del Coco experiences periodic, extreme disturbances which devastate coral reefs surrounding the island. Scleractinian corals build the physical structure of the reef therefore ecosystem recovery relies on coral species recovery.
