Los agroecosistemas cafetaleros modernos y su relación con la conservación de mariposas en paisajes fragmentados
(2018)
Land use change by the intensification of agriculture contributes to tropical forest fragmentation
and biodiversity loss. In this sense, in comparison with traditional agroforestry systems (AFS), modern
AFS are considered ...

(2014)
Incluir la lógica de los productores en la investigación y transferencia de conocimientos es crucial para la adopción de buenas prácticas de manejo del agroecosistema. Para conocer la percepción de los productores sobre ...
Old-growth neotropical forests are shifting in species and trait composition
(2016)
Tropical forests have long been thought to be in stable state, but recent insights indicate that global change is leading to shifts in forest dynamics and species composition. These shifts may be driven by environmental ...
Agricultural intensification alters bat assemblage composition and abundance in a dynamic Neotropical landscape
(2016)
The recent trend of agricultural intensification in tropical landscapes poses a new threat to biodiversity conservation. Conversion of previously heterogeneous agricultural landscapes to intensive plantation agriculture ...
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 ...
