Variabilidad genética de la avifauna de las tierras altas de Costa Rica: Consecuencias del calentamiento global.
(2011-07-09)
Determinar la susceptibilidad de un grupo de aves pertenecientes a diferentes líneas evolutivas (e.g.trochilidae, tyrannidae, emberizidae) a los cambios ambientes que pueden ocurrir como consecuencia del incremento en la ...
Abundancia y fluctuaciones de aves limícolas (Charadriiformes) en una playa fangosa de Chomes, Costa Rica
(1992)
We recorded 27 species of Charadriiformes on the mud flats of Chomes, Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica, during biweekly censuses over one year. These were grouped taking into account their abundance and permanence on the flat. ...
Sexual size dimorphism and acoustical features of the pre-advertisement and advertisement calls of Rhinophrynus dorsalis Duméril & Bibron, 1841 (Anura: Rhinophrynidae)
(2015)
Las interacciones entre selección natural, selección sexual, y los requerimientos ecológicos específicos de las especies son responsables de la evolución de comportamientos complejos de cortejo y estrategias reproductivas. ...
Song plasticity over time and vocal learning in clay-colored thrushes
(2015)
Songbirds have been traditionally classified into close-ended or open-ended learning species according to the length of the sensitive period during which birds are able to memorize new vocalizations. Closed-ended learners ...
Effect of fragmentation on the Costa Rican dry forest avifauna
(2016)
Deforestation and changes in land use have reduced the tropical dry forest to isolated forest patches in northwestern Costa Rica. We examined the effect of patch area and length of the dry season on nestedness of the entire ...
Descripción acústica del dueto de Pezopetes capitalis, un ave endémica de Costa Rica y el Oeste de Panamá
(2015)
Los duetos han sido estudiados ampliamente y sus funciones varían entre especies, sin embargo en todos los casos, la sincronía temporal de los elementos cantados por cada individuo de la pareja parece tener un papel ...
Messua sp. (Salticidae), the host spider of the polysphinctine Inbioia pivai (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae)
(2019)
The koinobiont ectoparasitoids of spiders in the Polysphincta genus group are divided into two well-supported clades. Species in one clade parasitize spiders in the higher araneoid group, and the behaviour of these ...
Effect of barriers and distance on song, genetic, and morphological divergence in the highland endemic Timberline Wren (Thryorchilus browni, Troglodytidae)
(2018)
Populations may become isolated by distance, geographic barriers or both. Isolated populations often diverge in behavioral, morphological and genetic traits as a result of reduced inter-population gene flow. Highland species ...
