Integrating insights for complex problem solving : applications for interdisciplinary pedagogy and water governance
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2014)
The following three chapters are a product of four years of hard work and extensive growth toward my PhD in Environmental Science from the Joint Doctoral Program of the University
of Idaho and the Centro Agronómico Tropical ...
Contribution of agricultural land uses to bird conservation: a case study of ecosystem service provisioning
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2016)
Understanding the contribution of agricultural land uses to biodiversity conservation is of utmost importance. With 38% of earth’s ice free land surface covered by crops and pastures, studying and understanding the potential ...
Effects of tropical forest fragmentation on ecology and conservation of migrant and resident birds in lowland Costa Rica
(University of Idaho, Moscow, ID (EUA), Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2007)
The overall objetive of my research was to understand the value of forest fragments to a diverse group of rainforest birds that depend on lowland tropical rainforest for their survival at one part or all of their annual ...
A geospatial data integration framework for mapping and monitoring tropical landscape diversity in Costa Rica's San Juan-La Selva Biological Corridor
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2006)
Landcover change has substantially reduced the amount of tropical rain forests since the 1950s. Little is known about the extent of remaining forest types. A multivariate analysis of 144 forest plots across Costa Rica's ...

Home-range and movements of Myrmeciza exsul (aves: thamnophilidae) in two fragmented landscapes in Costa Rica: evaluating functional connectivity
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2012)
It is well known that fragmentation not only reduces the total amount of habitat available, but also simultaneously isolates the habitat that remains, preventing movement of organisms and processes in previously connected ...
Recurso arbóreo en sistemas silvopastoriles tradicionales y su impacto en la productividad y calidad nutritiva de la pastura en el trópico seco de Costa Rica
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2007)
Este estudio caracteriza y describe la cobertura de árboles dispersos en los potreros y explora los diferentes efectos que ellos tienen sobre la productividad de fincas ganaderas en un ecosistema del trópico seco de Costa ...
Distribution and foraging by the leaf-cutting ant, Atta cephalotes L., in coffee plantations with different types of management and landscape contexts, and alternatives to insecticides for its control
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica). Universidad de Idaho, ID (EUA), 2006)
Atta cephalotes L., the predominant leaf-cutting ant species found in coffee farMON in the Turrialba region of Costa Rica, is considered a pest of the crop because it removes coffee foliage. I applied agroecosystem and ...
Effects of habitat fragmentation on the reproductive ecology and conservation genetics of the almendro (Dipteryx panamensis), a keystone rainforest tree
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), Turrialba (Costa Rica), University of Idaho, Moscow, ID (EUA), 2006)
Deforestation in the tropics creates a mosaic of forest patches embedded in a human-dominated matrix. Maintaining biodiversity in these fragmented landscapes relies on their ability to sustain ecological processes. This ...
The effects of local and landscape context on leafhopper (Hemiptera: cicadellinae) communities in coffeee agroforestry system of Costa Rica
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica)
University of Idaho, Moscow, ID (EUA), 2008-05)
This study examined the effects of local (shade composition, organic or conventional management, and weed management) and landscape (surrounding land uses) context on sharpshooter communities in coffee agroforestry systeMON ...
