Bats use leaves as mirrors to find their prey in the dark
Agosto 09, 2019
Bats can find motionless insects on leaves in the dark. This was thought to be impossible, because the acoustic camouflage provided by the leaves should confuse their echolocation system. Inga Geipel and colleagues discovered how they overcome this problem.
Eavesdropping
Underwater Manatee chatter may aid in their conservation
Octubre 04, 2019
Scientists propose a new method, based on underwater recordings, for estimating the population size of the Antillean manatee, an endangered marine mammal
Night hunters
Bats use private and social information as they hunt
Octubre 04, 2019
As some of the most savvy and sophisticated predators out there, bats eavesdrop on their prey and even on other bats to collect a wide variety of information about their prey.

Imprinting on mothers may drive speciation in poison dart frogs
Octubre 09, 2019
Imprinting on parental color may be more important than genetics when it comes to the evolution of new species.
Bound by blood
Vampire bat bonding persists from the lab to the wild
Octubre 31, 2019
Bats moved from a captive colony back to a tree stayed with their friends.

How does an intersex bee behave?
Marzo 10, 2020
A collaborative effort at Barro Colorado island described the daily rhythm of a rare half male-half female bee
Old Genes, New Traits
Recycling old genes to get new traits – How social behavior evolves in bees
Junio 10, 2020
Researchers learned from some unusual sweat bee species on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, how the sophisticated division of labor in highly complex insect societies can arise from humble beginnings.

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.
Guano secrets
DNA in fringe-lipped bat poop reveals unexpected eating habits
Octubre 26, 2020
The poop of Trachops cirrhosus revealed surprising results about its foraging abilities and prey preferences.
