Foraging behaviour of three primate species in a Costa Rican coastal lowland tropical wet forest (2013)
Journal Article
Graham, K. E., Bulloch, M. J., & Lewis, T. R. (2013). Foraging behaviour of three primate species in a Costa Rican coastal lowland tropical wet forest. Biodiversity Journal, 4(2), 327-334

Primates are predominantly distributed across tropical regions, many of which are threatened by deforestation. Removal of mature trees can harm primate populations by reducing available food resources. Understanding the dietary requirements of primat...

Amphibian ecology and conservation: A handbook of techniques (2011)
Journal Article
Lewis, T. R. (2011). Amphibian ecology and conservation: A handbook of techniques. Herpetological Bulletin, 116, 43-44

When it comes to rare and endangered animals, there is usually a good selection of literature available. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the Chinese Alligator. Its scarcity in the wild and the fact that its home range is well within the co... Read More about Amphibian ecology and conservation: A handbook of techniques.

High speed boat traffic: A risk to crocodilian populations (2011)
Journal Article
Grant, P. B., & Lewis, T. R. (2011). High speed boat traffic: A risk to crocodilian populations. Herpetological conservation and biology, 5(3), 456-460

Injuries related to boat traffic have been documented as a major source of human-related injuries and deaths in many aquatic species but have not been documented in crocodilians. We examined the proportion of boat-related injuries in Spectacled Caima... Read More about High speed boat traffic: A risk to crocodilian populations.

A botanical survey of Caño Palma Biological Station (Estación Biológica Caño Palma), Tortuguero, Costa Rica (2010)
Journal Article
Lewis, T. R., Grant, P., Garcı́a Quesada, M., Ryall, C., & LaDuke, T. C. (2010). A botanical survey of Caño Palma Biological Station (Estación Biológica Caño Palma), Tortuguero, Costa Rica. Brenesia, 73(74), 73-84

The Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica are renowned for their botanical diversity. Despite previous work in Costa Rica’s lowland wet rainforests, remote areas are still ecologically poorly known. Botanical species lists for such areas are often incompl... Read More about A botanical survey of Caño Palma Biological Station (Estación Biológica Caño Palma), Tortuguero, Costa Rica.
