In addition, new records for the following 11 species are presented: Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Colombia, Brazilian Amazonia, Costa Rica), Hippa, Kurina & Sääksjärvi, 2017 (Brazilian Amazonia), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Colombia, Costa Rica), Hippa & Kurina, 2013 (Brazilian Amazonia), Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Colombia) and Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica). Distribution patterns include (1) species known only locally in Costa Rica or Colombia, (2) distributions connecting Central America to west Andes lowlands, and (3) north-west Neotropical components, extending from Central America to Brazilian Amazonia. The possible biogeographical and taxonomical context of species with a widespread distribution is considered.

The COVID-19 pandemic marked a before and after in the business world, causing a growing demand for applications that streamline operations, reduce delivery times and costs, and improve the quality of products. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) has taken a relevant role in improving these processes, since it incorporates mathematical models that allow analyzing the logical structure of the systems to detect and reduce errors or failures in real-time. This study aimed to determine the most relevant aspects to be considered for detecting software defects using AI.

Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, San Carlos, Costa Rica.

We briefly review the history and development of recognizing nematode assemblages as indicators of environmental conditions. We highlight the effects of spatio-temporal successional changes in nematode assemblages on the auto-regeneration of ecosystem functions after disturbance. We expand on the need for herbivory components in the analysis of soil nematode assemblages in recognition of the important impact of plant parasitism on the resources and productivity of the soil system.
