Genetic and taxonomic data corroborate the existence of lemon shark, Negaprion brevirostris (Carchariniformes: Carcharhinidae) (Poey, 1868) in Coiba National Park, Panama

Año 2026, Artículos Científicos, Dr. Edgardo Diaz Ferguson, Téc. Sara Justo /

For almost 2 years community structure, characterization and identification of the main fish species from the largest estuariesof Coiba National Park have been the focus of our research interest. Among selachii elasmobranchs (sharks), three commonspecies (Carcharhinus limbatus, Carcharhinus leucas, and Sphyrna lewinii) have been reported during our fish collectioncampaigns in San Juan, Rio Negro and […]

Genetic Approach of the Coiba island howler monkey Alouatta coibensis coibensis from PANAMA, and its conservation Implications

Año 2024, Artículos Científicos, Dr. Carlos Ramos, Dr. Edgardo Diaz Ferguson, Dr. Humberto A. Garcés B. /

Studies on genetic diversity are key to conservation management because they may determine the resilience of primate populations under environmental and anthropogenic changes. Herein, we studied genetic diversity and connectivity in a population sample of the Coiba island howler monkey Alouatta coibensis coibensis from Coiba island in Panama. We collected 14 faecal samples from individuals

First scenic assessment of the Coiba National Park’s beaches (Panama)

Año 2024, Artículos Científicos, Dr. Camilo M. Botero, Dr. Edgardo Diaz Ferguson, Dr. Humberto A. Garcés B., Téc. Sara Justo /

Coiba National Park (PNC) is one of the most important marine protected areas in the Americas, as an essential part of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor. As a marine protected area, its main objective is biodiversity conservation, although nature-based tourism and nautical activities are allowed. This research focused on the application of the Coastal

Characterizing oceanographic conditions near Coiba Island and Pacific Panama using 20 years of satellite-based wind stress, SST and chlorophyll-a measurements

Año 2024, Artículos Científicos, Dr. Edgardo Diaz Ferguson, Dr. Greg Crawford /

Coiba Island and the associated Special Zone of Marine Protection represent an important, yet poorly studied marine reserve along the Pacific coast of Panama. While efforts have recently began to establish monitoring programs in the region, a range of historical, marine-related environmental measurements already exist, derived from satellite-based observations. The goal of this paper was

Fishery and conservation implications of molecular characterization and traceability of ceviche samples from Pacific Panama

Año 2024, Artículos Científicos, Dr. Edgardo Diaz Ferguson, Dr. Ernesto Brugnoli, Téc. Sara Justo /

Genetic analysis of 111 samples from ceviche cocktails and fish fillets used for ceviche, obtained from fish markets and processing plants in the Pacific zone of Panama were conducted to determine species composition, trace origin (native, nonnative or imported frozen species) and CITES species status. A total of 21 species were detected (20 fishes and
