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 ...

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 ...

Aberración de plumaje canoso progresivo en el Pinzón de la Isla del Coco (Pinaroloxias inornata) en el Parque Nacional Isla del Coco, Costa Rica.

, 2023
Plumage aberrations in wild birds are a common phenomenon, and in Costa Rica they have been documented in several families, although the information is still limited in remote sites such as Isla del Coco, as well as in endemic species.

Introgression of Chinese haplotypes contributed to the improvement of Danish Duroc pigs

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 292-300, February 2019., 2019
Abstract The distribution of Asian ancestry in the genome of Danish Duroc pigs was investigated using whole‐genome sequencing data from European wild boars, Danish Duroc, Chinese Meishan and Bamaxiang pigs. Asian haplotypes deriving from Meishan and Bamaxiang occur widely across the genome.

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 ...
