Greenhouse “time machine” sheds light on corn domestication
Febrero 07, 2014
Lower atmospheric carbon and cooler temperatures may have contributed to the domestication of corn, a new study shows.

Fire fuels invasive grass
Octubre 19, 2012
Panama’s infamous canal grass rises from the ashes of fire much faster than trees, complicating reforestation efforts.
Tropical Dome Project
Solar domes simulate extreme futureclimate scenarios
Junio 14, 2017
How will tropical forests respond to a warmer climate with higher atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations? By growing plants in geodesic domes, Smithsonian scientist Klaus Winter is seeking answers.
Adjusting to climate change
Tropical dark respiration data tweak climate model
Septiembre 27, 2017
What do warmer nights mean for the release of carbon dioxide by tropical forests?
A damselfish moves to Mexico
An Indo-Pacific damselfish takes hold on the other side of the globe
Mayo 23, 2018
Smithsonian marine biologist Ross Robertson suspects that the regal demoiselle hitched a ride to the Gulf of Mexico on an oil rig. Its outstanding success in its new habitat raises questions about its impact in the Gulf.
Mosquitoes and Mamallenas
Sweet desserts drive the search for disease-carrying mosquitoes
Julio 02, 2018
As researchers ask which disease-carrying mosquito species will rule Panama’s Azuero Penninsula (and perhaps the world), they discover culinary delights along the way.
Darwin double time
Can Evolution Rescue Lizards From Climate Change?
Febrero 07, 2019
Some organisms adapt more quickly than others and may have a better chance to survive climate change. 2018 Tupper Fellow, Mike Logan, follows lizards as they adapt to islands.

Question in Evolutionary Biology
Stabilize the Climate
A Temperature Tipping Point for Tropical Forests
Mayo 21, 2020
A study in Science by 225 researchers working with data from 590 forest sites around the world concludes that tropical forests release much more carbon into the atmosphere at high temperatures.
All the fish in the sea?
Smithsonian sleuths distinguish tropical marine habitats in Panama using eDNA
Mayo 25, 2020
One of the big questions about using DNA in seawater to make species lists is whether it comes from a specific site or has floated in from elsewhere. In this study researchers could distinguish different marine habitats using only DNA.
