Bat Morphology And Pollinator Specificity In A Neotropical Cloud Forest, November 2001, Kiva Rice Nov 2001

Bat Morphology And Pollinator Specificity In A Neotropical Cloud Forest, November 2001, Kiva Rice

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

This study explores the degree of specialization of nectarivorous bat species and the plants they visit by examining pollen loads. The bat species involved are Anoura geoffroyi, Glossophaga commissarisi, and Hylonycteris underwoodi, all of which feed on nectar and are found in the cloud forests of Monteverde. Five nights were spent mist-netting and pollen samples were taken from the head, fore-body and back of each individual caught. These were placed on slides that were observed under a microscope and pollen morphospecies were counted. Twenty-two pollen morphospecies were found and a few were identified. A 1-way ANOVA test was conducted to …


A Medicinal Plant Analysis In Premontane Wet/Moist And Premontane Wet Life Zones In Monteverde, Costa Rica, September 2001, Ryan Pjesky Sep 2001

A Medicinal Plant Analysis In Premontane Wet/Moist And Premontane Wet Life Zones In Monteverde, Costa Rica, September 2001, Ryan Pjesky

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

This study was completed in Monteverde, Costa Rica on the diversity of medicinal plants in: premontane wet/moist and premontane wet forest. The purpose of this study was to find overall plant diversity and medicinal plant diversity within these two forests. After finding medicinal plant diversity, a conservation value could then be applied for each life zone accordingly. This was done by surveying three, 10-meter square plots in both life zones. It was hypothesized that plant diversities would be different within the two life zones. This hypothesis was not supported: the two plant communities had similar richness (S), diversity (H'), and …

Community Structure Of Vascular Epiphytes In A Costa Rican Elfin Forest, May 2001, Duryea Delacroix May 2001

Community Structure Of Vascular Epiphytes In A Costa Rican Elfin Forest, May 2001, Duryea Delacroix

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Neotropical montane forests are characterized by their great abundance and high diversity of epiphytes. This study examines the distribution of epiphytic families in three zones of sixMeliosma vemicosa trees using single-rope climbing techniques to access the forest canopy. Nine-hundred ninety-seven vascular epiphytes from eight angiosperm families and division Pteridophyta occurred at the study site. Orchidaceae, Bromeliaceae, Araceae, Ericaceae, Piperaceae, and Gesneraceae were the most common angiosperm families. Pteridophytes accounted for 40% of the individuals present. Friedman's test for Shannon -Weiner index and Orchidaceae showed a significant Chi-squared value (X2 =8.4, and X2 =7.4) and tied p-value (p = 0.02, and …

Adaptive Response Of Scaphyglottis Acostaei (Orchidaceae) To Microhabitat Variability, November 2000, Andrew Fisher Nov 2000

Adaptive Response Of Scaphyglottis Acostaei (Orchidaceae) To Microhabitat Variability, November 2000, Andrew Fisher

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Orchids exhibit many adaptations, including pseudobulbs which store water and root velamen, which assists in water uptake, to deal with the harsh, water stressed conditions that are an integral part of epiphytic life. Within a single host tree the intensity of water stress varies between microhabitats caused by presence of moss and bark fissures to reduce evaporation of water, and positions that increase or decrease exposure to wind, precipitation and sun. The orchid, Scaphyglottis acostaei exhibits variable pseudobulb sizes and water holding potential of velamen, possibly as a result of different levels of water stress and water availability. In this …

Effect Of Fragment Size On Non-Volant Mammals In La Cruz And Monteverde, Costa Rica, September 2000, Seema Sheth Sep 2000

Effect Of Fragment Size On Non-Volant Mammals In La Cruz And Monteverde, Costa Rica, September 2000, Seema Sheth

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of fragment size on terrestrial, fruit-eating mammals. In this study, it was expected that there would be smaller mammals in small fragments than in large ones due to limited resources and fewer predators. In each of five fragments of different sizes and in a section of continuous forest, plantains were used to bait mammals, and each site was checked every other day for damage to bait. Based on observations of bite marks on plantains, for groups of mammals were identified: small rodents, opossums, agoutis and pacas, and coatis. Number of …


A Comparison In Medicinal Plant Composition Of Primary And Secondary Growth Stands By Herbalist And Medicinal Literature References, September 2000, Jill Jankowski, Nichole Leger Sep 2000

A Comparison In Medicinal Plant Composition Of Primary And Secondary Growth Stands By Herbalist And Medicinal Literature References, September 2000, Jill Jankowski, Nichole Leger

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

We assessed the medicinal plant composition of a primary and secondary forest stand in lower montane wet forest in La Cruz, Costa Rica. Herbaceous and woody plant species above 45cm and below 200 cm in height (excluding vines and ferns) were collected identified and evidence for possible medicinal properties sought in both medicinal reference books and from local herbalist. We found approximately the same overall and medicinal diversity in both stands, but the species composition changed between primary and secondary forests. From our interviews with local herbalists, we found that herbalists knew more medicinal species in secondary growth than primary …
