Two new species of Pergalumna (Acari, Oribatida, Galumnidae) from Costa Rica, including a key to all species of the genus from the Neotropical region
(2014)
Two new species of oribatid mites of the genus Pergalumna (Oribatida, Galumnidae), P. elongatiporosa
sp. n. and P. striatiprodorsum sp. n., are described from leaf litter of a secondary forest in Costa Rica.
Pergalumna ...
Two new species of oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) with auriculate pteromorphs from Costa Rica, including a key to all species of Galumna (Galumna) of the Neotropical region
(2015-04-17)
Two species of oribatid mites with auriculate pteromorphs, Truncozetes paraecuadoriensis sp. nov. and
Galumna paraoctopunctata sp. nov., are described from leaf litter of secondary forest in Costa Rica.
Truncozetes ...
Detection of the adsorption of water monolayers through the ion oscillation frequency in the magnesium oxide lattice by means of low energy electron diffraction
(2016-03)
We investigate the variation of the oscillation frequency of the Mg2+ and O2− ions in the magnesium oxide lattice due to the interactions of the surface with water monolayers by means of Low Energy Electron Diffraction. ...
Enterococci as a key parameter for water quality index: Purires River, Costa Rica
(2018)
This study used the Canadian Water Quality Index (CWI) to characterize water sampled at three points within the Purires River micro basin, Costa Rica. The first sampling point is located in a high zone with domestic ...
Atmospheric forcing of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review
(2006-06-06)
The increase in marine, land surface, atmospheric and satellite data during recent decades has led to an improved understanding of the air–sea interaction processes in the eastern tropical Pacific. This is also thanks to ...
Widespread tropical agrowastes as novel feedstocks for biochar production: characterization and priority environmental uses
(2020)
Biochar, a carbon-rich pyrolytic product, has demonstrated positive results as a soil improver and carbon sequestration agent. Its production could be an appropriate and innovative practice for agricultural waste management ...
Tracing Water Sources and Fluxes in a Dynamic Tropical Environment: From Observations to Modeling
(2020)
Tropical regions cover approximately 36% of the Earth’s landmass. These regions are home to 40% of the world’s population, which is projected to increase to over 50% by 2030 under a remarkable climate variability scenario ...
A Sea Breeze Study during Ticosonde-NAME 2004 in the Central Pacific of Costa Rica: Observations and Numerical Modeling
(2020)
Surface and upper air observations and MM5v3 simulations examined the structure and
inland penetration of sea breeze (SB) along the Grande de Tárcoles river basin (GTRB), central Pacific,
Costa Rica, for two different ...
Water stable isotopes reveal the hydrological response of Costa Rican glacial lakes to climate variability
(2022)
Lakes are generally considered a key information source for understanding paleoclimate. Here, we use stable water isotopes (δ2H and δ18O) in a high-elevation tropical glacial lake to inform about modern climate variability ...
Analysis of Seismic Activity near Theodore Roosevelt Dam, Arizona, during the Occupation of the EarthScope/USArray Transportable Array
(2012)
Rate and distribution of seismic activity are important indicators of the overall state of tectonic stress within a region. In regions characterized by low levels of seismicity, active fault surfaces are rarely visible at ...
