Genetic analyses helped identify a new cryptic species of the genus Squatina from the Western Atlantic Ocean.
Personal happiness, that is success, don't measure it in terms of accumulation of goods, measure it in accumulation of satisfaction.
Congratulations to Dolores Piperno and Helene Muller-Landau!
The new diagnostic test showed comparable or even better results than the gold-standard assay recommended for the diagnosis of chytridiomycosis.
Paleontologists discover possible DNA remains in fossil turtle that lived 6 million years ago in Panama, where continents collide
Existing conservation policies rarely reward local people who care for old-growth forests. In this study, Indigenous Emberá residents worked with scientists to show how, through their sustainable lifestyle in communities established during the 1960’s-1980’s in one of Central America’s most pristine, old-growth forests, they act as custodians, conserving this, shared space.
He would have turned 77 this past October. We deeply miss his endless enthusiasm for learning and his passion for teaching others.
I am broadly interested in the genetics of adaptation and speciation. How do new species form? How does adaptive variation arise and spread? How is morphological variation created through development and modified by natural selection? Is evolution predictable?
The focus of my lab’s...
Our lab supports research into the lived experience of ancient Isthmian cultures and human groups of the American Tropics more broadly. We explore a wide variety of research questions using multiple, often interdisciplinary approaches that include the study of diverse archaeological material...
For six days, archeology technician Aureliano Valencia led a workshop on how to reconstruct pre-Columbian ceramics.
