Zoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 475-493, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Patterns of larval food plant use and immature stage morphology help clarify Neotropical butterfly species diversity, and, in many cases, lineages identified with molecular data are corroborated by morphology and ecology of immature stages. Here, we investigate cryptic species in Adelpha butterflies (Nymphalidae), a group known for challenging

Return of forest structure and diversity in tropical restoration plantings
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Stepping‐stone restoration plantings can reconcile conservation goals and local land‐use needs in highly fragmented ecosystems. We explored how initial planting composition influences recruiting plant species density, diversity, abundance, and forest structure in a 13‐year‐old restoration experiment in Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico.

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Large‐seeded, animal‐dispersed (LSAD) trees include some of the most valuable and threatened species in the tropics, but they are chronically underrepresented in regenerating forests. Toucans disperse many LSAD species, so attracting toucans to regenerating forests should help re‐establish more diverse tree communities.

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 12, Page 1826-1837, December 2021., 2021 Remnant trees and forest fragments in agricultural landscapes can be important sources of propagules to facilitate forest recovery. However, many studies simply quantify forest cover in the surrounding landscape as a percentage, with little attention given to species composition, and subsequently fail to detect an effect on recruitment patterns.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 439-454, July 2021., 2021 Under favourable conditions, secondary rainforest recovered similar levels of species richness and key traits of old‐growth forest dung beetle communities. The carrion beetle community did not recover as well as the dung beetle community, and overall abundance was a third lower in naturally regenerating secondary forest compared with old growth ...

Models for biomass estimation in native forest tree plantations and secondary forests in the Costa Rican Caribbean Region [PDF]
, 2009 The use of forest ecosystems as carbon sinks is now more accepted. However, credible information about its growth in terms of\ud biomass and its capacity to capture and store CO2 is still insufficient in order to suggest ways by which forest owners ...

Mapping Species Composition of Forests and Tree Plantations in Northeastern Costa Rica with an Integration of Hyperspectral and Multitemporal Landsat Imagery [PDF]
, 2015 An efficient means to map tree plantations is needed to detect tropical land use change and evaluate reforestation projects. To analyze recent tree plantation expansion in northeastern Costa Rica, we examined the potential of combining moderate ...

Identificación de maderas colombianas utilizando el Xylotron: Prueba de concepto de una colaboración internacional [PDF]
, 2021 Field deployable computer vision wood identification systems can play a key role in combating illegal logging in the real world. This work used 764 xylarium specimens from 84 taxa to develop an image data set to train a classifier to identify 14 ...

Crecimiento de especies forestales nativas en la zona norte de Costa Rica
Agronomía Costarricense, 2003 Se evaluó el comportamiento de 5 especies utilizadas frecuentemente en reforestación en las llanuras del trópico húmedo de Costa Rica. El estudio se desarrolló en parcelas del proyecto de Especies Nativas de la zona norte de Costa Rica, del ...
