Raphia taedigera stands can be considered an important habitat for maintaining connectivity across the Osa Biological Corridor and potentially provide a similar function in other Neotropical landscapes. On the basis of literature review, interviews with farmers, frequent detections of collared peccary, and detection in adjacent habitat, the jaguar ( Panthera onca) is also expected to traverse R. Other species were detected only on the edges of stands or not at all. ![]() ![]() taedigera provides habitat and a connectivity function in the Osa region for coati ( Nasua narica), raccoon ( Procyon sp.), collared peccary ( Pecari tajacu), white-faced capuchin ( Cebus capucinus), ocelot ( Leopardus pardalis), northern tamandua ( Tamandua mexicana), and paca ( Cuniculus paca). taedigera stands at the Osa Biological Corridor in Costa Rica using 26 camera traps to identify which large (>1 kg) mammal species use this habitat and the distance each species will travel into it from the surrounding habitats. Use of this ecosystem by wildlife is largely unknown. Raphia taedigera is a wetland palm species that occurs in monospecific stands in Central and South America, Africa, and Madagascar.
