Abstract:
Introduction: The Gulf of Nicoya is the most important estuary on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Information on the presence of soft corals is scattered in the literature and in museum collections. Objective: To provide a list of soft corals reported for the estuary. Methods: We compiled the literature (2002-2020) and of the specimens deposited at the Museum of Zoology, University of Costa Rica. Results: Thirty species have been reported for the estuary (Clavulariidae, Gorgoniidae and Plexauridae). Most were collected on the eastern coast of the Nicoya Peninsula, and several species were described based on estuary specimens. Conclusion: The 30 species represent 79 % of those reported for Costa Rica. Despite this relatively high percentage, the sampling effort has been modest and other sites within the estuary should be explored.

Abstract:
(1) Background: Longevity Blue Zones (LBZs) are populations characterized by exceptional longevity. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to compare the food habits of two representative samples of the oldest old subjects from the population residing in the LBZs of Nicoya peninsula (Costa Rica) and in the mountainous part of Ogliastra (Sardinia, Italy). (2) Methods: Data were collected using validated tools, including a food frequency questionnaire, Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scales for functional autonomy, body mass index, and waist and limbs circumferences. (3) Results: A total of 210 subjects, 60 (31 male) from Nicoya (age range 80–109 years), and 150 (61 male) from Ogliastra (age 90–101 years) were included in the study. In both populations, the highest frequencies of consumption were recorded for plant-derived foods (cereals 60–80% daily, legumes ≥ 80% daily in Nicoya, ≥ 60% 2–5 servings/week in Ogliastra), followed by those of animal origin (dairy products, meat) ≥60% and 80% daily, in Nicoya and Ogliastra, respectively. The frequency of milk consumption showed a positive correlation with BADL (ρ = 0.268 for Nicoya and ρ = 0.214 for Ogliastra) and IADL scores (ρ = 0.466 for Nicoya and ρ = 0.471 for Ogliastra), whereas legumes consumption correlated negatively with self-rated health (ρ = −0.264) and IADL (ρ = −0.332). (4) Conclusions: Our results indicate that the dominant dietary model among the elderly of Nicoya and Ogliastra is a plant-based diet complemented by a non-negligible consumption of animal products, mostly dairy products. Further prospective studies are needed to ascertain a possible cause–effect relationship between food habits and increased likelihood of reaching advanced age.

Abstract:
The authors challenge the argument by other world-system scholars that Lower Central America fell outside the Mesoamerican world-system during the late Postclassic period. Drawing on ethnohistoric and archaeological information, it is argued that native peoples along the Pacific Coast of Central America from El Salvador to the Nicoya Peninsula (Costa Rica) are best understood as part of the Mesoamerican periphery. The Central American peoples south of Nicoya formed both a chiefly world-system of their own and part of the Mesoamerican frontier by engaging in networks of trade and preciosity exchanges with the coastal Mesoamericans in Nicoya and Nicaragua. Support for this argument is based primarily on two “microhistoric” case studies of peoples located on both sides of the Mesoamerican/Lower Central America border, specifically the Chorotegans of the Masaya/Granada area of Nicaragua and the Chibchans of the Diquis/Buenos Aires area of Costa Rica. Archaeological information on sites in both areas and documentation from Spanish colonial sources that refer to native peoples in these areas strongly indicate that the Masaya/Granada peoples were active participants in the Mesoamerican regional network. In contrast, information from the Diquis/Buenos Aires area for this period reveals only weak Mesoamerican ties but strong relations with a Chibchan intersocietal network of chiefdoms.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Cretaceous period was marked by the most voluminous episodes of oceanic plateau volcanism in the Phanerozoic Eon. Primarily affecting the Pacific, mantle plumes generated oceanic plateaus during three main phases (ca. 145–140 Ma, ca. 122–115 Ma, and ca. 100–90 Ma). Central America is one of the very few circum-Pacific margins where remnants of these Cretaceous plateaus were accreted. The study of their onland exposures provides a highly valuable insight into the complexity and diversity of oceanic plateau histories, from their eruption to their accretion. Exposed in northern Costa Rica, the plateau remnants of the Nicoya Peninsula originated from a Jurassic oceanic crust over-thickened by Early and Late Cretaceous hotspots. These sheared-off pieces of the Farallon Plate testify to the early tectonic interaction of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP, ca. 94–89 Ma) with North America, initiated <5 m.y. after the onset of CLIP eruption. By combining our results with previously published data, we propose an updated tectono-stratigraphic framework that divides the Nicoya Peninsula into two oceanic plateau terranes. (1) The accretion timing of the Aptian to Turonian Manzanillo Terrane is constrained by the Coniacian (ca. 89–86 Ma) base of the overlapping Loma Chumico Formation. The proximal tuffaceous forearc deposits of the Loma Chumico Formation are the oldest evidence of a volcanic arc in Costa Rica—called here the Berrugate Arc—as revealed by new biostratigraphic and geochemical data. (2) The Nicoya Complex s. str. is a composite plateau remnant containing rocks of Bajocian to earliest Campanian age. Its accretion occurred during the middle Campanian (ca. 79–76 Ma) and shut down the Berrugate Arc. In contrast to the collision of CLIP with North America, onset of the collision of CLIP with South America began much later, during the latest Campanian (ca. 75–73 Ma).

Abstract:
The close proximity of the Nicoya Peninsula to the Cocos-Caribbean Subduction zone plate boundary makes it a prime location to use GPS to study episodic tremor and slip. Nicoya Peninsula currently has operating networks of both continuous GPS (CGPS) and seismic stations designed to identify and characterize the pattern of episodic tremor and slip (ETS) events along the seismogenic zone under Costa Rica's Pacific Margin. The occurrence of slow slip events has been previously postulated in this region based on correlated fluid flow and seismic tremor events recorded near the margin wedge in 2000 and from sparse GPS observations in 2003. Paucity of data prevented details of these events from being resolved. In May 2007 a slow slip event was recorded on our densified GPS network. This slow slip event was also accompanied by seismic tremor, worked up by colleagues at the University of California - San Diego. I will present the GPS time series, correlated with the seismic tremor for the event in May 2007. I will also present the inferred pattern of slip on the plate interface from elastic half space inversion modeling compared with the tremor and Low Frequency Earthquake (LFE) locations. The geodetic slip and seismic tremor co-locate temporally very well. Spatially the seismic tremor and LFE locations are offset but not independent of both the up dip and down dip patches of geodetic slip. The identification of these slow slip events enhances our understanding of the nuances of the interseismic period. Previous studies of the interseismic strain accumulation patterns in the region of the Nicoya Peninsula have not accounted for the occurrence of slow slip, thus underestimating the magnitude of locking on the fault plane. My study resolves this bias by using our CGPS network to estimate the interseismic surface velocity field, accounting for the May 2007 slow slip event. I will present the results of this velocity field estimation and the results of inversions for locking patterns on the fault plane. My study has also elucidated a potential temporal variability in the locking pattern on the fault plane beneath Nicoya.

Abstract:
Subduction zone megathrusts produce the majority of the world's largest earthquakes. To understand the processes that control seismicity here, it is important to improve our knowledge on the subduction interface characteristics and its spatial variations. Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, extends the continental landmass ~50 km towards the trench, making it a very suitable place to study interface activity from right on the top of the seismogenic zone of the Middle America Subduction Zone (MASZ). We contribute to and utilize an earthquake catalog of 8765 analyst-picked events to determine the spatial variability in the earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD) in this region. After initial detection, magnitude determination and location, the events are precisely relocated using a locally derived 3-D seismic compressional and shear wave velocity model (DeShon et al., 2006). After restricting the dataset to events nearest the interface and with low formal error (horizontal location error < 5 km), we retain a subset of 3226 events that best resolves interface activity. Beneath Nicoya, we determine the spatial variability and mean FMD of the interface, and focus on the relative relationship of small-to-large earthquakes, termed b-value. Across the region, the overall b-value (1.18 ± 0.04) is higher than the global average (b~1), and much larger than the global subduction zone average (b~0.6). Significant variation in b-value is observed along the active plate interface. A well resolved zone of lower b is observed at and offshore central Nicoya coast, in a previously determined locked patch using deformation observed from Global Positioning System (GPS). Conversely, high b-values prevail over the subducted portion of the Fisher ridge, which likely ruptured in the 1990 Gulf of Nicoya Mw 7.0 earthquake. Observed regions of low b-value approximately corresponds to more strongly-locked segments of the subduction interface resulting in higher differential stress, which may be released in the next large interface earthquake in this part of the MASZ. Across the region the b-value is found to vary inversely with the degree of interface locking. Thus, it is proposed that if sufficient data exist, spatial b-value mapping can be used as a proxy to determine interface locking. This method is especially useful along the subduction megathrust, which is generally offshore making geodetic measurements difficult.

Abstract:
The Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica is unusually close to the Middle America Trench (MAT), such that interface locking along the megathrust is observable under land. Here, rapid convergence between the downgoing Cocos and the over-riding Caribbean plates at ~85mm/yr allows for observable high strain rates, frequent large earthquakes and ongoing micro-seismicity. By taking advantage of this ideal location, a network of 20 on-land broadband seismometers was established in cooperation between UC Santa Cruz, Georgia Tech, and OVSICORI, with most stations operating since 2008. To evaluate what seismicity tells us about the ongoing state of coupling along the interface, we must consistently evaluate the location and magnitude of ongoing micro- seismicity. Because of large levels of anthropogenic, biologic, and coastal noise, automatic detection of earthquakes remains problematic in this region. Thus, we resorted to detailed manual investigation of earthquake phases. So far, we have detected nearly 7,000 earthquakes below or near Nicoya between February and August 2009. From these events we evaluate the fine-scale frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD) along the subduction megathrust. The results from this b-value mapping‟ are compared with an earlier study of the seismicity 9 years prior. In addition, we evaluate them relative to the latest geodetically derived locking. Preliminary comparisons of spatial and temporal variations of the b-values will be reported here. Because ongoing manual detection of earthquakes is extremely laborious and some events might be easily neglected, we are implementing a match-filter detection algorithm to search for new events from the continuous seismic data. This new approach has been previously successful in identifying aftershocks of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake. To do so, we use the waveforms of 858 analyst-detected events as templates to search for similarly repeating events during the same periods that have been manually detected. Preliminary results on the effectiveness of this technique are reported. The overall goal of this research is to evaluate the evolution of stress along the megathrust that may indicate the location and magnitude of potentially large future earthquakes. To do so, I make the comparison between the FMD and the interface locking. Only positive correlations are observed in the Nicoya region. The result is different from the one derived from the seismic data set that was recorded 9 years before our data. Therefore, to substantiate the causes for the different relationships between the b-value and the coupling degree, we need additional data with more reliable magnitudes.

Abstract:
Dans l'isthme centraméricain, la grande Nicoya - sud-ouest du Nicaragua et nord-ouest du Costa Rica - apparait comme l'extension méridionale des cultures mésoaméricaines. Les sources ethno-historiques indiquent, en effet, que cette aire culturelle a subi de fortes influences en provenance du nord, voire de véritables vagues migratoires (chorotegas et nicaraos). Nos connaissances sur la façon dont se sont opérés ces contacts et dont les populations ont rejeté, adopté ou adapté ces influences sont limitées. En l'absence d'écriture, les seuls indices qui peuvent nous éclairer sont à chercher dans les expressions artistiques et les concepts qu'elles véhiculent. À ce titre, la céramique apparait comme un mode d'expression privilégié dont la chronologie est à ce jour bien connue. Entre le VIIème et le XVIème siècle de notre ère, les vases polychromes offrent en effet un impressionnant corpus de motifs qui expriment certains concepts fondamentaux de la pensée religieuse de ces cultures. Ces vases sont classés en trois grandes traditions, les polychromes sur engobe brun sur engobe blanc et sur engobe saumon. Décoder, déchiffrer et comprendre ces images sont les ambitions de cette étude et constituent toute son originalité. Elle s'appuie exclusivement sur la tradition des céramiques brunes, premières poteries polychromes de l'aire apparues vers 500 ap. J. -C. Pour disparaitre autour de 1350. L'analyse iconographique d'environ 1 300 pièces entières originaires des collections publiques et privées du Costa Rica et du Nicaragua a permis de mettre en évidence des concepts mésoaméricains dont l'expression graphique est empruntée à l'iconographie maya ou bien complètement originale. Elle a également permis de tester la validité de la typologie établie mais aussi de dégager le degré et la nature des influences méso et sud-américaines dans une région considérée comme la limite méridionale de la Mésoamérique.

Abstract:
Marine Areas for Responsible Artisanal Fishing (AMPR) have emerged as a new model for co-managing small-scale fisheries in Costa Rica, one that involves collaboration between fishers, government agencies and NGOs. This thesis aims to examine the context for collective action and co-management by small-scale fishers; evaluate the design, implementation, and enforcement of AMPRs; and conduct a linguistic analysis of fisheries legislation. The present work relies on the analysis of several types of qualitative data, including interviews with 23 key informants, rapid rural assessments, and legal documents. Findings demonstrate the strong influence of economic factors for sustaining collective action, as well as the importance of certain types of external organizations for community development and co-management. Additionally, significant enforcement gaps and institutional deficiencies were identified in the work of regulating agencies. Legal analysis suggests that mechanisms for government accountability are unavailable and that legal discourse reflects some of the most salient problems in management.

Abstract:
Habitat modification is the primary cause of amphibian population declines worldwide. Some species survive in modified habitats whereas others become restricted to small, isolated forest patches. Although many studies compare species richness and composition between modified and intact habitats, the factors and mechanisms that maintain biodiversity in these landscapes are poorly understood. I asked how life history traits and habitat features influence interspecific variation in frog occupancy patterns in tropical pasture and forest. To identify mechanisms underlying occupancy patterns, I used experiments to examine how abiotic conditions in different habitats influence the vital rates of tadpoles. I also explored whether tadpoles use a carnivorous foraging strategy to improve performance in nutrient-poor, ephemeral pools in pasture. Although modified and intact habitats offer abiotic environments that differ in quality for frogs, pastures contribute to the maintenance of biodiversity in fragmented landscapes. I detected an equal number of species but substantially different assemblage composition in forest and pasture. Species that occurred in pasture had different traits than those in forest, including larger body sizes, larger clutch sizes, larger geographic ranges, and reproductive modes that depend on water. The occurrence of pasture-specialists was associated with habitat features at small spatial scales, whereas the occurrence of forest-specialists was associated with habitat features at small and large spatial scales. An experiment indicated that abiotic conditions in pastures may deter or facilitate adult movements to breeding sites. Behavioral selection of sites by two model species was consistent with tadpole performance. Tadpoles of a pasture-specialist performed well across the pasture-forest gradient, but abiotic conditions in pasture facilitated faster growth and development than in edge or forest. In contrast, tadpoles of a forest-specialist performed well only in edge and forest. Most tadpoles occupying ephemeral pasture pools were facultative carnivores or cannibals of eggs and hatchlings. Tadpoles may contribute to the regulation of assemblages in pasture pools, influencing the relative abundance and composition of species through differential predation on eggs and hatchlings. The study of factors and mechanisms that contribute to population growth or decline of species can facilitate understanding of assemblage-level patterns of amphibian diversity in modified landscapes.

Abstract:
El Golfo de Nicoya (GN) es uno de los estuarios más grandes de América Central. Este cuerpo de agua presenta una dinámica de circulación compleja y representa un área de alta importancia pesquera y comercial. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar la variabilidad intra-anual de parámetros oceanográficos en la región interna del GN, Costa Rica. Se realizaron mediciones de caudal y profundidad utilizando correntímetros acústicos. Se obtuvieron perfiles verticales de salinidad, temperatura, clorofila y oxígeno en estaciones a lo largo de transectos perpendiculares a la costa, tanto en marea de flujo como de reflujo. Los resultados muestran un dominio del forzamiento mareal en la circulación del GN. Se demostró que la intensidad del flujo está determinada por la batimetría, con magnitudes mayores en el flanco este del golfo. Se observó una mayor proporción de agua dulce en el flanco oeste. Estos resultados serán insumo para la calibración y validación de modelos hidrodinámicos del GN.

Abstract:
Costa Rica muestra una condición incipiente en el desarrollo de la acuicultura marina, a pesar de los esfuerzos invertidos por más de veinte años. La experiencia en el cultivo de Crassostrea gigas alcanzada por comunidades, la institucionalidad pública y ONG´s, desde el ámbito social- económico y ambiental, evidencian que el país cuenta con las condiciones idóneas, para direccionar la ostricultura como un nuevo sector socio-económico con y desde las comunidades marino costeras del litoral pacífico. El presente trabajo expone los logros obtenidos por comunidades y actores locales; además los retos que ambas partes se han propuesto para hacer de esta actividad una herramienta más que contribuye con la sustentabilidad y empoderamiento de familias y comunidades que actualmente se encuentran en condiciones de pobreza.

Abstract:
El presente artículo describe los resultados parciales de un proyecto de docencia-extensión de desarrollo de software para una organización agrícola en la región chorotega de Costa Rica que presenta limitadas posibilidades de desarrollo tecnológico y por ende escasas oportunidades a productores suscritos en aprovechar los procesos de transformación digital. La producción hortofrutícola es una de las principales actividades y fuente de ingreso para los agricultores de esta región pero que se ve afectada por factores climáticos, mercados limitados y altos costos de operación. Se planteó el desarrollo de un software innovador para el apoyo a los procesos productivos hortofrutícolas del Centro Agrícola utilizando metodologías de desarrollo ágiles, involucramiento del usuario final como actor estratégico de éxito y la creación de prototipos de software.

"Utilización de índices de contaminación por hidrocarburos en pianguas (Anadara Tuberculosa) obtenidas en el Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica para la categorización del grado de contaminación." In I Congreso Internacional de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales. Universidad Nacional, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/cicen.1.94.

Abstract:
En el Golfo de Nicoya se desarrollan gran cantidad de actividades antropogénicas que lo hacen vulnerable a la contaminación por sustancias como los hidrocarburos del petróleo, los cuales pueden asociarse con otras partículas y quedar disponibles para la biota y bioacumularse en el tejido lipídico de los organismos. La aplicación de índices de contaminación permite realizar una valoración de la presencia de estos compuestos. Debido a la alta captura y comercialización se utilizó la piangua, cuyas muestras se obtuvieron de junio del 2013 a diciembre del 2014, se digirieron en Soxhlet, se purificaron en columna de alúmina activada para separar los hidrocarburos alifáticos de los aromáticos y se analizaron por cromatografía de gases acoplado al detector de masas y por espectrofluorofotometría, respectivamente. A los resultados obtenidos se les aplicó los índices propuestos por Ramírez et al. (1999), los cuales indican la presencia de contaminación por hidrocarburos petrogénicos en la isla de Chira.

Abstract:
El pez dorado Coryphaena hippurus es una de las especies de mayor importancia co­mercial capturada en el Golfo de Nicoya. De noviembre del 2017 a enero del 2019, se analizaron 379 especímenes, correspondientes al stock distribuido en las zonas 12,13 y 14 del AMPR Paquera-Tambor. La relación longitud total-peso total para esta especie indica un crecimiento isométrico, tanto para hembras Pt= 0.0091Lt2.83, como para machos Pt= 0.0034Lt3.03. La talla media de captura para hembras fue de 111 cm Lt y de 115 cm Lt para machos; se estimó que el 94% de la captura se encuentra sexualmente madura, con un periodo máximo de reproducción comprendido de noviembre a enero. La fecundidad absoluta en hembras varió de 16243 a 598688 ovocitos; mientras que la fecundidad relativa osciló de 1 a 147 ovocitos por gramo/pez. Los análisis de hábitos alimenticios sugieren que esta población es generalista con preferencias por los peces.
