Comparative landscape genetics of two frugivorous bats in a biological corridor undergoing agricultural intensification

Least‐cost transect analyses (LCTA) and pairwise G″st suggest that for A. jamaicensis, pineapple is more permeable to gene flow than expected, while as expected, forest is the most permeable land cover for gene flow of C. castanea.

Development and characterization of fourteen novel microsatellite markers for the chestnut short-tailed fruit bat (Carollia castanea), and cross-amplification to related species

To facilitate understanding of population genetic structure in this species, fourteen novel microsatellite markers were developed using restriction-site-associated DNA libraries and Illumina sequencing and tested on 28 individuals from 13 locations in Costa Rica, creating the first micros satellite markers developed for C. castanea.

Coupled social and ecological outcomes of land use change and agricultural intensification in Costa Rica and the future of biodiversity conservation in tropical agricultural regions.

Tropical ecosystem conversion to agriculture has caused widespread habitat loss and created fragmented landscapes composed of remnant forest patches embedded in a matrix of agricultural land uses.…

Genetics as a Tool for Biodiversity Conservation: Examples from Central America

With increasing population growth and demand for resources, pressure on natural systems is an ever growing issue and planning frameworks that can reconcile a complex a set of considerations including species requirements, ecological integrity, community needs, economics, government policy, regulatory frameworks, ascetics and intrinsic value are critical in the planning process.
