Molecular characterization and genetic diversity of Jatropha curcas L. in Costa Rica
(2017-02-09)
We estimated the genetic diversity of 50 Jatropha curcas samples from the Costa Rican germplasm bank using 18 EST-SSR, one G-SSR and nrDNA-ITS markers. We also evaluated the phylogenetic relationships among samples using ...
Genetic diversity in Oryza glumaepatula wild rice populations in Costa Rica and possible gene flow from O. sativa
(2016-04-07)
Wild crop relatives are an important source of genetic diversity for crop improvement. Diversity estimates are generally lacking for many wild crop relatives. The objective of the present study was to analyze how genetic ...
Spatial genetic structure within size classes of the endangered tropical tree Guaiacum sanctum (Zygophyllaceae)
(2010)
Premise of the study: Patterns of spatial genetic structure (SGS) were analyzed within a population of the endangered tropical tree Guaiacum sanctum located in northwestern Costa Rica. Documentation of these patterns ...
Factors affecting phenological patterns of bombacaceous trees in seasonal forests in Costa Rica and Mexico
(2003)
We compared phenological patterns of tree species of the family Bombacaceae in three seasonal forests in Mexico and Costa Rica whose dry seasons vary in duration and intensity. The objectives were to (1) determine intraspecific ...
Individual and tempo- ral variation in outcrossing rates and pollen flow patterns in Ceiba pentandra (Malvaceae: Bombacoidea)
(2013)
Ceiba pentandra is a tropical tree with high rates of selfing in some populations. In mixed‐mating species, variation in selfing is due to changes in adult density or variability of incompatibility systems. The effect of ...
Mating system and pollen flow between remnant populations of the endangered tropical tree, Guaiacum sanctum (Zygophyllaceae)
(2011)
Tropical trees are generally long-lived making it difficult to assess the long-term effects of habitat fragmentation on genetic diversity. Maintenance of genetic diversity in fragmented landscapes is largely dependent on ...
Efectos de la Fragmentación de Bosques y la Fenología de Floración sobre el Éxito Reproductivo y los Patrones de Apareamiento de Pachira quinata, un Árbol de Bosque Tropical Seco
Effects of forest fragmentation and flowering phenology on the reproductive success and mating patterns of the tropical dry forest tree Pachira quinata
(2003)
Los resultados de varios estudios sugieren que la fragmentación de bosques afecta los patrones deapareamiento y de éxito reproductivo de especies de árboles tropicales al reducir la actividad de poliniza-dores, la deposición ...
Genetic diversity in the endangered tropical tree, Guaiacum sanctum (Zygophyllaceae)
(2010)
Fragmentation of tropical forests has changed continuous tropical landscapes into a network of poorly connected fragments, reducing population sizes and potentially increasing genetic isolation. This study quantifies genetic ...
Fenología de especies de árboles de la Península de Osa y la región de Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica
Phenology of tree species of the Osa Peninsula and Golfo Dulce region, Costa Rica
(2007)
Se presentan datos sobre fenología de hojas, flores y frutos de 74 especies de árboles de la Península de Osa y Golfo Dulce, al Sureste de Costa Rica. Los datos fueron obtenidos de observaciones directas de árboles no ...
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 ...
