Natural history of the terciopelo Bothrops asper (Serpentes: Viperidae) in Costa Rica.
The terciopelo Bothrops asper is the only lancehead species widely distributed in the humid lowlands of Middle America and northwestern South America. Its large body size, relative abundance and cryptic habits contribute to the high incidence of snakebites induced by this species throughout its distribution. The terciopelo plays an important role in ecosystems, both as prey and as a generalist ...
متن کاملThe Impacts of Red Mangrove (rhizophora Mangle) Deforestation on Zooplankton Communities in Bocas Del Toro, Panama
Deforestation impact studies have generally focused on tropical rainforests or temperate coniferous woodlands. However, extensive clear-cutting is currently occurring in a wide-ranging, but far less recognized habitat: the world's mangrove forests. These coastal forests thrive in areas of low wave action and high sediment availability, where mangrove trees develop dense and productive ecosystem...
متن کاملDecadal increase in seagrass biomass and temperature at the CARICOMP site in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
The Caribbean Coastal Marine Productivity Program (CARICOMP) was launched in 1993 to study regional long-term interactions between land and sea, taking standardized measurements of productivity and biomass of mangroves, coral reefs and seagrasses. Since 1999 continuous measurements of seagrass (Thalassia testudinum) parameters as well as environmental data have been recorded in Caribbean Panama...
متن کاملVariation in Mangrove Forest Structure and Sediment Characteristics in Bocas del Toro, Panama
—Mangrove forest structure and sediment characteristics were examined in the extensive mangroves of Bocas del Toro, Republic of Panama. Forest structure was characterized to determine if spatial vegetation patterns were repeated over the Bocas del Toro landscape. Using a series of permanent plots and transects we found that the forests of Bocas del Toro were dominated by Rhizophora mangle with ...
متن کاملCrepidula badisparsa sp. nov. (Gastropoda: Calyptraeidae) from Bocas Del Toro Province, Panama
—The taxonomy of calyptraeid gastropods is made difficult by their morphologically simple, plastic shells and the numerous instances of morphological convergence within the family. The small speckled species of Crepidula from the West Atlantic have all previously been referred to as C. convexa Say, 1822. Recent developmental and genetic work has shown that there are two species along the coast ...
