Ancestry Informative Markers Clarify the Regional Admixture Variation in the Costa Rican Population
(Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints. Paper 34., 2013-10-09)
Study for the first time a random sample from all regions of the country with AIMS (Ancestry Informative Markers) to address the individual and regional admixture proportions. A sample of 160 male individuals was screened ...
Key to the species of the genus Scleria (Cyperaceae) in Costa Rica based on the morphology of achenes
(2016)
We described the achenes of 21 species of the genus Scleria reported in Costa Rica using 16 morphological characters and developed a key based only on achene characteristics. Specimens deposited in herbaria in Costa Rica ...
Microevolution of the Chibcha-speaking peoples of Lower Central America: rare genes in an Amerindian complex
(1992)
Models are developed for the survival, history, and spread of variant alleles, in order to consider what can, and what cannot, be inferred from this type of data. The high variances of the processes involved, and questions ...
Proteomic and functional analysis of the venom of Porthidium lansbergii lansbergii (Lansberg’s hognose viper) from the Atlantic Department of Colombia
(2015)
The venom of the Lansberg's hognose pitviper, Porthidium lansbergii lansbergii, a species found in the northern region of Colombia, is poorly known. Aiming to increase knowledge on Porthidium species venoms, its proteomic ...

Identification of linear B-cell epitopes on myotoxin-II, a Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologue from Bothrops asper snake venom
(2012)
Knowledge on toxin immunogenicity at the molecular level can provide valuable information
for the improvement of antivenoms, as well as for understanding toxin structure–
function relationships. The aims of this study ...
