In our lab, we conduct basic and applied research on (1) the mechanisms of coral reef resilience with the ultimate goal of finding ways to boost coral reef resilience; (2) the ecology of evolution of host-microbe interactions by leveraging the many sister species of fish, crustacean and mollusks...
A species of tree fern found only in Panama uses ‘zombie leaves’ or reanimated dead leaf fronds, and turns them into root structures that feed the mother plant.
How can we make agriculture more sustainable and resilient?
STRI from Myth to Reality: Working on Barro Colorado Island as Part of a Community.
Visiting scientist Camille Delavaux and intern, Omayra Meléndez, celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the ForestGEO 50-hectare plot, a unique forest ecology research tool, and the people who make it possible.
From sonic tomographies to global biodiversity negotiations, this journey through research, resilience, and connection reveals how even the smallest organisms can shape entire ecosystems and inspire lasting change.
We are all working together to make tropical biology research safe for everyone by eliminating harassment.
In my lab we try to understand how climate change affects tropical forests by studying how environmental factors influence the physiology and ecology of tropical trees and lianas. We are interested in identifying threshold temperatures for various aspects of plant performance, including carbon...
