Forecast models of coffee leaf rust symptoms and signs based on identified microclimatic combinations in coffee-based agroforestry systems in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2019)Coffee leaf rust is a polycyclic disease that causes severe epidemics impacting yield over several years. For this reason, since the 1960s, more than 20 models have been developed to predict different indicators of the ... -
Forecast models of coffee leaf rust symptoms and signs based on identified microclimatic combinations in coffee-based agroforestry systems in Costa Rica
(2020)Coffee leaf rust is a polycyclic disease that causes severe epidemics impacting yield over several years. For this reason, since the 1960s, more than 20 models have been developed to predict different indicators of the ... -
Forest cover mediates large and mediumsized mammal occurrence in a critical link of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor
(2021)Connectivity of natural areas through biological corridors is essential for ecosystem resilience and biodiversity conservation. However, robust assessments of biodiversity in corridor areas are often hindered by logistical ... -
Functional recovery of secondary tropical forests
(Editorial Board, 2021-11)One-third of all Neotropical forests are secondary forests that regrow naturally after agricultural use through secondary succession. We need to understand better how and why succession varies across environmental gradients ... -
Functional responses to anthropogenic disturbance and the importance of selected traits: A study case using dung beetles
(2021-06-17)Evaluate the functional diversity of dung beetles associated with the Atlantic Forest replacement using a matrix with 25 functional traits (10 morphological, four ethological and 11 physiological). Compare functional ... -
Functional traits and performance of woody species on oil- affected soils of the Ecuadorian Amazon
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2023-10)Tropical forests cover 10 % of the terrestrial surface and account for 50 % of worldwide tree diversity (Mayaux et al., 2005). More than half of tropical forest areas are composed of tropical rainforests, which are ... -

Genetic diversity and population structure for ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) in Costa Rica
(Oxford University Press, 2021-12)Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are a wide-ranging felid species, occurring from southern United States to northern Argentina. They occupy various habitats and are usually considered the most abundant wild cat species in ... -
Genetic diversity and spatial structure in a new distinct Theobroma cacao L. population in Bolivia
(2015)Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is an important economic crop in the Bolivian Amazon. Bolivian farmers both cultivate cacao, and extract fruits from wild stands in the Beni River region and in valleys of the Andes foothills. ... -
Genotype–environment interactions shape leaf functional traits of cacao in agroforests
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2021)The outbreak of frosty (Moniliophthora roreri) and black pod (Phytophthora palmivora) in Central American cacao agroforests throughout the 1980s led to the breeding of Theobroma cacao clones resistant to these diseases. ... -
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(2020)Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative ... -
Good data are not enough: Understanding limited information use for climate risk and food security management in Guatemala.
(2020)Climate extremes are one of the main drivers of acute food insecurity. In Guatemala, acute food insecurity reaches alarming levels when the usual dry period during the bimodal rainy seasons is extended or starts earlier ... -
Haitian coffee agroforestry systems harbor complex arabica variety mixtures and under recognized genetic diversity
(University of Jeddah, 2024-04-16)Though facing significant challenges, coffee (Coffea arabica) grown in Haitian agroforestry systems are important contributors to rural livelihoods and provide several ecosystem services. However, little is known about ... -
Higher leaf nitrogen content is linked to tighter stomatal regulation of transpiration and more efficient water use across dryland trees
(New Phytologist Foundation, 2022-05)The least-cost economic theory of photosynthesis shows that water and nitrogen are mutually substitutable resources to achieve a given carbon gain. However, vegetation in the Sahel has to cope with the dual challenge imposed ... -
How Close Are We to Self-Provisioning? A Look at the Livelihood Strategies of Rural Households in the Southern Andean Region of Colombia
(MDPI, 2022-02-22)Analyze the impact of livelihood strategies on self-sufficiency conditions in 162 rural households in the department of Huila, Colombia. Discuss: A. food source; B. composition of home gardens; C. push and pull factors ... -
How Ecological Characteristics of Seasonal Migratory Species Influence Conservation Threats and Policy Needs
(University of Chicago Press Journals, 2023-03-08)This article argues that effectively protecting migratory behavior and migratory species throughout their annual or life cycle habitats requires conservation policies that simultaneously consider the ecological, socioeconomic, ... -
Human pressure on water quality and water yield in the upper Grijalva river basin in the Mexico-Guatemala border
(ELSEVIER, 2016)Forest ecosystems are major providers of high quality water and contribute to maintain a better distribution of base flows during the year. However, these environmental services have been adversely affected by human pressure ... -
Hydrological Response of Tropical Catchments to Climate Change as Modeled by the GR2M Model: A Case Study in Costa Rica
(Sustainability, 2022-12)This study aimed to assess the impacts of climate change on streamflow characteristics of five tropical catchments located in Costa Rica. An ensemble of five General Circulation Models (GCMs), namely HadGEM2-ES, CanESM2, ...
