Extraordinary ecosystem
Darien’s unusually high carbon stocks and tree diversity
Julio 30, 2019
Through a participatory forest-carbon monitoring project, scientists and indigenous technicians found that, even in disturbed areas, Darien forests maintained the same tree species richness and a disproportionately high capacity to sequester carbon
Pirates to plovers
A photographic guide to the wildlife of Panama’s old city
Agosto 13, 2019
As Panama City celebrates it’s 500th birthday, STRI’s Steven Paton explores the biodiversity of Panama Viejo, an important historical and archaeological site

What makes a good (primate) leader?
Octubre 17, 2019
Does a good leader have a better mental map of food in the forest? or is she simply driven by hunger?
Hope for Chucunaque
First Jaguar in Panama fitted with GPS transmitter
Noviembre 29, 2019
After years of catching jaguars only in camera-trap images, Ricardo Moreno, STRI research associate and National Geographic Emerging Explorer, and a team of 20 biologists and community members were able to catch a jaguar and fit it with a transmitter that will help researchers conserve these majestic cats in the wild.

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.

Science and technology for the conservation of manatees in Bocas del Toro and the Ngäbe-Buglé region
Julio 09, 2020
Manatees are endangered aquatic mammals. To help protect them, researchers Héctor Guzmán from STRI, Fernando Merchán, Héctor Poveda and Javier Sánchez-Galán from the Technological University of Panama (UTP), and Guillaume Ferré from ENSEIRB-MATMECA, developed a monitoring system based on hydrophones, which detects in real-time the underwater calls these animals make to communicate with each other.

Have vessels cooperated with whale conservation efforts in the Gulf of Panama?
Julio 24, 2020
Several years after the International Maritime Organization adopted Traffic Separation Schemes to reduce the risk of collision between vessels and migratory whales in the Gulf of Panama, scientists assessed whether these conservation management actions are being effective

Native trees thrive in teak plantations and may protect the Panama Canal
Agosto 12, 2020
Teak often underperforms on poor soils. By planting valuable native trees in existing teak plantations, researchers will evaluate the potential increase in timber value, biodiversity value and ecosystem services provided.

Science through passion and perseverance
Agosto 17, 2020
Dr. Gina Della Togna has gone a long way in pursuing her love for animals, including amphibians, insects, and reptiles. Last year she received the L'Oreal-Unesco Prize for Women in Science, for her research in assisted reproductive techniques for endangered species, such as the golden frog. This year she was named by Forbes magazine as one of the 100 most powerful women in Central America and the Dominican Republic. Listen to the story of how she became a renowned scientist.
