Baby shark
Fishing exclusion zones to help manage shark populations in Pacific Panama
Diciembre 17, 2019
Researchers identify 11 potential nursery areas of locally common and migratory sharks, which could help support shark conservation efforts in Panama and the region.
Bright Spot
Plenty of gloom with a dash of hope: Fossils reveal a lone reef in similar state to coral reefs before human impact
Febrero 28, 2020
Fossil corals show what reefs were like before human impact and reveal a modern “bright spot” reef with apparent long-term resilience to deterioration caused by humans.
Just a little respect
Bocas dolphins may be more sociable while we shelter in place
Abril 13, 2020
A study of dolphin behavior in the presence of tourist boats informs conservation efforts.
Buried with snails
What animal bones tell us about the rise and fall of the Maya in Guatemala
Mayo 18, 2020
Tens of thousands of tiny bone fragments reveal eating habits, ceremonial practices and the development of animal domestication during more than 2000 years of history.
Chronic exposure
Long-term consequences of coastal development as bad as an Oil Spill on Coral Reefs
Mayo 20, 2020
Three decades after the largest recorded oil spill near coastal habitats in Panama, scientists look at how coral reefs recover from acute contamination over time
Ancient diseases
The trace of suffering, in the bones
Julio 02, 2020
Human remains used to be considered a nuisance in archaeological excavations. Today they are considered a valuable source of information to understand the ways of life of prehistoric populations and their conditions.
Picky eater
Invasive lionfish may be a selective predator
Julio 30, 2020
By evaluating the diet choices of this species in a semi-natural environment, scientists could improve predictions of how it might affect newly invaded communities
Studying sharks
An untraditional path for science
Septiembre 09, 2020
For Panamanian marine biologist Yehudi Rodríguez, her curiosity about sharks began early in life, watching the National Geographic programs and listening to her father’s stories as an underwater fisherman. This persistent interest led her to pave a path where there were not many opportunities, and to learn as much as possible from the people she encountered during her research projects in the field, especially from artisanal fishermen. Now she has more than 15 years studying sharks, she is a professor at the International Maritime University of Panama and director of Shark Defenders.
Healthy relationships
Why do small marine organisms matter for the future of our oceans?
Septiembre 15, 2020
Beneficial partnerships between diverse marine organisms are often favorable to the health of marine ecosystems as well. Listen to STRI postdoctoral fellow and marine and evolutionary biologist Matthieu Leray describe how mutualistic relationships among coral reefs and small marine species or microorganisms may help them cope with climate change.
