Gallant Storyteller
Anthony G. Coates, Senior Scientist Emeritus (1936-2022)
Diciembre 15, 2022
Geologist Tony Coates changed the way we think about the ground under our feet. He confirmed the date when North and South America were connected at about 3 million years ago. We remember Tony not only as a skilled field geologist, but as a kind person and storyteller, who captured the imagination of scientists and non-scientists alike with his ability to spin a tale.

Sean McMahon
My primary research focuses on the ecological mechanisms that structure forest communities and determine their fine- and large-scale spatial and temporal dynamics. This research spans topics as diverse as forest demography, functional traits, canopy structure and change over succession, spatial...

Lightning strikes more than 100 million times per year in the tropics
Julio 23, 2020
Tropical storms often begin with an impressive display of pyrotechnics, but researchers have largely overlooked the role of lightning strikes in tropical ecosystems.

Are bats spying on their prey in the canopy?
Octubre 22, 2019
Eavesdropping behavior in the canopy may answer questions about how acoustic interplay among animals has developed over millions of years in the forest

Courtship movements put katydids in danger
Abril 30, 2020
Females may also be prone to predation as they move toward a mating call

Mother bats use baby talk to communicate with their pups
Agosto 26, 2020
Just as humans with their babies, adult female bats change their vocalizations when interacting with “babbling” pups, which could be interpreted as positive feedback to their offspring during vocal practice
