Somatic embryogenesis of Arabica coffee in temporary immersion culture: Advances, limitations, and perspectives for mass propagation of selected genotypes
(Plant Science, 2022-10)Culture in temporary immersion systems (TIS) is a valuable tool for the semiautomation of high frequency somatic embryogenesis of coffee. This system allows the intermittent exposure of explants to liquid medium in cycles ... -
Species interactions across trophic levels mediate rainfall effects on dryland vegetation dynamics
(2020)Arid ecosystems are strongly limited by water availability, and precipitation plays a 2 major role in the dynamics of all species in arid regions, as well as the ecosystem processes that 3 occur there. However, understanding ... -
Spillovers from targeting of incentives: Exploring responses to being excluded.
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2017)A growing set of policies involve transfers conditioned upon socially desired actions, such as attending school or conserving forest. However, given a desire to maximize the impact of limited funds by avoiding transfers ... -
Strong floristic distinctiveness across Neotropical successional forests
(Science, 2022)Forests that regrow naturally on abandoned fields are important for restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services, but can they also preserve the distinct regional tree floras? Using the floristic composition of 1215 early ... -
Structure, diversity and the conservation value of tropical dry forests in highly fragmented landscapes
(Journal of Plant Ecology, 2022-03-09)Although tropical dry forests are among the most degraded and fragmented biomes in the world, we still have a poor understanding of their basic ecological features and conservation status, particularly in the Neotropics. ... -
Successional cocoa agroforests of the Amazon-Orinoco-Guiana shield
(2013)Cocoa was used as a fruit in its native range. Cocoa fruits were harvested from “wild” cocoa stands embedded into the forests growing on the high terraces of the Amazon and Orinoco river systems and in the Guiana shield. ... -
The coffee rust crises in Colombia and Central America (2008-2013): impacts, plausible causes and proposed solutions
(2015)Coffee rust is a leaf disease caused by the fungus, Hemileia vastatrix. Coffee rust epidemics, with intensities higher than previously observed, have affected a number of countries including: Colombia, from 2008 to 2011; ... -
The effect of different levels of tree cover on milk production in dual-purpose livestock systems in the humid tropics of the Colombian Amazon region
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)Abstract Caqueta´, Colombia, has a bovine population of 1,809,702 head, of which 88% are in dual purpose livestock systems; it ranks fifth in milk production at the national level. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ... -
The effects of propagation environment and foliar area on the rooting physiology of Cordia alliodora (Ruiz & Pavon) Oken cuttings
(Springer, Berlín (Alemania), 1997) -
The existence value of the Antillean manatee in the unprotected Hondo River (Mexico) as a fundamental component for its conservation
(Journal for Nature Conservation, 2022)The Hondo River is the natural border between Mexico and Belize, and it is part of the distribution area of the Endangered Antillean manatee Trichechus manatus manatus. Currently, the Hondo River does not have any special ... -
The global biodiversity framework needs a robust action agenda

The global spectrum of plant form and function enhanced species-level trait dataset
(Scientific Data, 2022)Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, leaf mass per ... -
The impacts of a capacity-building workshop in a randomized adaptation project
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2019)Encouraging adaptation to climate change is fundamentally about encouraging changes in human behaviour. To promote these changes, governments, non-profits and multilateral institutions have invested in a range of ... -
The positive association between natural vegetation, native coccinellids and functional diversity of aphidophagous coccinellid communities in alfalfa
(2021-01)1. A greater taxonomic and functional diversity of natural enemies in agroecosystems is frequently positively associated with more effective pest control, due to the complementarity of species or traits. But this diversity ... -
The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey, data from 13,310 farm households in 21 countries
(2020-02)The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey (RHoMIS) is a standardized farm household survey approach which collects information on 758 variables covering household demographics, farm area, crops grown and their ... -
Timber growth, cacao yields, and financial revenues in a long-term experiment of cacao agroforestry systems in northern Honduras
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022)We assessed 36 cacao plots made up of 15–35 useful timber shade trees with varying spacing 6 × 9, 9 × 9, 8 × 10, and 10 × 12m. Initially, each plot consisted of three shade components plus cacao. Plantain (Musa x paradisiaca) ... -
Time-varying pricing may increase total electricity consumption: Evidence from Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2020)We study the implementation of a time-varying pricing (TVP) program by a major electricity utility in Costa Rica. Because of particular features of the data, we use recently developed understanding ofthe two-way fixed ...
