A Deep Dive
Rare shark spotted for the first time in Panama’s eastern Pacific
Marzo 19, 2024
The elusive prickly shark was observed during a submarine expedition to the depths of the Cordillera de Coiba seamounts, a biodiversity hotspot and marine protected area.
Following the swarm
Making a short documentary film in Panama’s tropical forest
Abril 11, 2024
In the Panamanian forest, researchers track swarms of carnivorous army ants and the birds that follow them. A new documentary reveals a glimpse of life, and research in the Neotropics
Evolving diets
Indigenous marine biologist deciphers the evolution of feeding strategies of sister fish species on both sides of the isthmus of Panama
Abril 19, 2024
Through advanced isotopic analyses, Rodnyel Arosemena seeks to understand how fish in the Caribbean and the Pacific that had a common ancestor take advantage of the resources of their different environments today.

Animals caught on camera in plantations inform sustainable forestry
Agosto 13, 2024
Timber plantations near urbanized areas support the movement of small and medium-sized terrestrial mammals between patches of natural forest.
Lokiceratops rangiformis
New, giant horned dinosaur discovered in the ancient swamps of Montana, United States
Junio 20, 2024
Joe Sertich, paleontologist from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the Colorado State University, co-authored a new study naming a new species of dinosaur, which he says "pushes the envelope on bizarre ceratopsian headgear."
Egged on
How frogs’ superpowers may have led to life on land
Julio 31, 2024
Frogs lay eggs both in the water and in jelly-like masses on plants. Could their flexible behavior help explain how vertebrates moved from life in ocean to life on land?
Red-eyed treefrogs
Red-eyed treefrog eggs hatch a plan to escape warming temperatures
Julio 12, 2024
A new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) shows that red-eyed treefrog embryos hatch early when exposed to high ammonia levels — an environmental cue that it’s too hot and dry for the eggs to survive.
New plant species
Six new species named: 3 from Panama, 3 from Colombia
Diciembre 26, 2024
Plant collections are full of surprises. It may take decades to id plant samples, but it’s worth the effort, especially when some of these species are not known from anywhere else on Earth.
Happy New Year
Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2025!
Diciembre 31, 2024
Last year we celebrated 100 years of tropical biology research, a testament to the teamwork and commitment of the STRI team to science across national boundaries. This year will bring new challenges, but our dedication to the study of tropical forests and reefs will not waver.
