Serpientes de Costa Rica / Snakes of Costa Rica

Alejandro Solorzano

This book presents the first synthesis of scientific information about the remote and beautiful Isla del Coco National Park (Costa Rica). Primarily a field identification guide to the more commonly observed fishes in the nearshore waters, the book contains descriptions and color photographs of 150 of the 270 fish species know from Cocos. Descriptions include: the scientific name and common names; the diagnostic characteristics for distinguishing the fish in the field; size; the habitat where the species occurs, what it eats, notes on reproduction and sex; and interesting behavior; abundance; distribution; similar species and how to distinguish them; and other common names and scientific synonyms. The descriptions are preceded by an introduction to the island's natural history and are followed by complete species lists for the fish, coral, birds, marine mammals, terrestrial mammals, and reptiles, and a brief human history of the island.

Peces de la Isla del Coco / Isla del Coco Fishes

Ginger Garrison

The first part of this field guide consists of an extensive introduction to the family Membracidae including morphology, behavior, mutualistic relationships with other organisms, and host plants. Also included are illustrated keys to the genera utilizing the form of the pronotum and illustrated taxonomic keys to the subfamilies and tribes.In the second part, 81 genera that occur in tropical America are described and illustrated with color photographs and distribution maps.

Membrácidos de la América Tropical / Treehoppers of Tropical America

Carolina Godoy

Ximena Miranda

Kenji Nishida

For the first time ever, this book presents easy-to-read descriptions of the morphology, habitat, behavior, larvae, and geographical distribution of all the 16 families occurring here, plus accounts on the natural history of more than 75 of their commonest species illustrated with outstanding color photos of both sexes, some of them pictured for the first time. Also included is a user-friendly Illustrated Key to all the families of this region and up-to-date, per country lists of all the species.Given the wide geographical distribution of the species treated here, both scientists and amateurs working with odonates in North and South America will also find valuable, novel information in this book.

Carlos Esquivel

This guide includes 25 genera and 99 native species (plus one that could become naturalized) of Gesneriaceae from Costa Rica, one of the most showy flowering plant families in the neotropics. Each species includes a description, distribution, phenological notes and diagnostic remarks and are illustrated with color photographs. Furthermore, the introductory section includes notes on their taxonomic and natural histories (e.g., pollination, dispersal, medicinal uses). Dichotomous keys for their identification are included at the end.

Because of the similarities of species with Nicaragua and Panama, this field guide will be useful for identifying most species in these countries as well.

Gesneriáceas de Costa Rica / Gesneriads of Costa Rica

Ricardo Kriebel Haehner

This one of a kind guide is a truly important contribution worldwide to our understanding of the interactions between bats and plants, the complexity of biological relations among organisms, and the astounding biological diversity of the tropics.The authors follow the path of legendary naturalists as Alfred. R.
