Nectar Preference And Predator Avoidance Of Hummingbirds, September 1999, Michael Steinbeiss Sep 1999

Nectar Preference And Predator Avoidance Of Hummingbirds, September 1999, Michael Steinbeiss

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

I studied feeding preferences of hummingbirds in the presence and absence of a simulated predator at feeders with varied nectar concentration. Using nectar concentration of 15% and 25% with and without predators, I counted visits over eleven sessions of one hour apiece. I found no significant patterns in number of visits (p= .379) or number of species visiting (p= 0.413) across all treatments. The hummingbirds showed no avoidance of the predator nor preference for nectar concentration. Although no statistically significant patterns were found, these findings are biologically relevant because they indicate possible behavioral responses to fragmentation and environmental disturbances.

Cueva De Villa Luz, Tabasco, Mexico: Reconnaissance Study Of An Active Sulfur Spring Cave And Ecosystem, Louise D. Hose, James A. Pisarowicz Apr 1999

Cueva De Villa Luz, Tabasco, Mexico: Reconnaissance Study Of An Active Sulfur Spring Cave And Ecosystem, Louise D. Hose, James A. Pisarowicz

KIP Articles

Cueva de Villa Luz (a.k.a. Cueva de las Sardinas) in Tabasco, Mexico, is a stream cave with over a dozen H2S-rich springs rising from the floor. Oxidation of the H2S in the stream results in abundant, suspended elemental sulfur in the stream, which is white and nearly opaque. Hydrogen sulfide concentrations in the cave atmosphere fluctuate rapidly and often exceed U.S. government tolerance levels. Pulses of elevated carbon monoxide and depleted oxygen levels also occasionally enter the cave. Active speleogenesis occurs in this cave, which is forming in a small block of Lower Cretaceous limestone adjacent to a fault. Atmospheric …

Market And Policy Incentives For Livestock Production And Watershed Protection In Arenal, Costa Rica, March 1999, Bruce Aylward, Jaime Echeverria, Katherine Allen, Ronald Mejías, Ina T. Porras Mar 1999

Market And Policy Incentives For Livestock Production And Watershed Protection In Arenal, Costa Rica, March 1999, Bruce Aylward, Jaime Echeverria, Katherine Allen, Ronald Mejías, Ina T. Porras

Monteverde Institute: Economy and Resource Management

Conventional wisdom amongst environmentalists holds that the cutting of tropical forest for livestock production is not only bad business but also bad for the environment. In particular, it is thought that conversion to pasture leads to rising sedimentation of waterways and reservoirs, an increase in flooding and loss of dry season water supply. In the case of Lake Arenal, Costa Rica this conventional wisdom is stood on its head in an evaluation of the market and policy incentives guiding land use in the Río Chiquito watershed of the Arenal region of Costa Rica. The study suggests that ranching, dairy and …

Environmental Vulnerability And Agriculture In The Karstic Domain: Landscape Indicators And Cases In The Atlas Highlands, Morocco, Brahim Akdim, Mohammed Amyay Jan 1999

Environmental Vulnerability And Agriculture In The Karstic Domain: Landscape Indicators And Cases In The Atlas Highlands, Morocco, Brahim Akdim, Mohammed Amyay

International Journal of Speleology

After the brief presentation of the major karstic areas in Morocco, the article focused essentially on the Atlas mountains to investigate the impact of the agriculture on the natural systems equilibrium. Socio-economic changes (demographic pressure, escalation of the landscape use, utilisation of new techniques in water harvesting, etc...) have sometimes fathered mechanisms of degradation. Many indicators seem to reflect these mechanisms. The pedologic indicators, soil erosion, the hydrologic and geomorphic indicators, are apprehended to demonstrate existent correlation between different variables and the often negative impacts of land over-use in the karstic domain of the Middle Atlas.

Institutional Arrangements For Watershed Management: A Case Study Of Arenal, Costa Rica, December 1998, Bruce Aylward, Alvaro Fernández González Dec 1998

Institutional Arrangements For Watershed Management: A Case Study Of Arenal, Costa Rica, December 1998, Bruce Aylward, Alvaro Fernández González

Monteverde Institute: Economy and Resource Management

The CREED Costa Rica project conducted an exhaustive quantitative inquiry into the economic factors that determine land use in the Río Chiquito watershed of Lake Arenal, Costa Rica, and found that livestock production is likely to produce positive hydrological externalities. This paper integrates these results into an application of the Institutional Analysis and Development Framework that is informed by a participatory process conducted with watershed stakeholders. The paper identifies physical measures, institutional arrangements and incentive mechanisms to stimulate improved watershed management in Río Chiquito by expanding the analysis beyond just the internalisation of hydrological externalities, to consideration of the larger …


An Analysis Of Private And Social Discount Rates In Costa Rica, December 1998, Bruce Aylward, Ina T. Porras Dec 1998

An Analysis Of Private And Social Discount Rates In Costa Rica, December 1998, Bruce Aylward, Ina T. Porras

Monteverde Institute: Economy and Resource Management

In the economic analysis of long-term projects or changes in policy and land use with long term impacts, the cost and benefit flows typically occur in different periods. The process of discounting these flows enables them to be added together and compared with the net present value of alternative courses of action. Discounting is therefore central to intertemporal economic analysis. In the case of the analysis of environmental issues, discounting assumes particular importance, given that economic benefits produced by ecosystems (or damages incurred by their degradation) either (1) occur only in the future (2) increase into the future or (3) …
