Bat babble
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
Social Distancing
Like repels like: Social distancing may explain coexistence of biodiverse tree species in tropical forests
Agosto 30, 2023
STRI staff scientist Joe Wright and colleagues present results in Science indicating that diversity among adult tropical trees can be maintained if spatial repulsion among individuals of the same species is greater than spatial repulsion among individuals of different species.
A dilemma
Escaping or resisting disease: the dilemma of a tropical tree
Septiembre 28, 2023
How does a tree escape or resist disease?
Forest Caretakers
Bacurú Drõa: How well do Emberá indigenous communities conserve old growth forests in Darien, Panamá?
Febrero 15, 2023
Existing conservation policies rarely reward local people who care for old-growth forests. In this study, Indigenous Emberá residents worked with scientists to show how, through their sustainable lifestyle in communities established during the 1960’s-1980’s in one of Central America’s most pristine, old-growth forests, they act as custodians, conserving this, shared space.
GEO-Trees
A revolution in forest carbon verification
Noviembre 27, 2023
The new GEO-TREES initiative addresses the uncertainty of satellite estimates of forest carbon by creating a trustworthy global carbon verification system based on existing collaborations among scientists at forest research sites worldwide. Supported by the Bezos Earth Fund, all data will be available free, online.
Counting carbon
The argument for GEO-TREES, a standard measure of forest carbon
Diciembre 06, 2023
Joshua Tewksbury, director of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, explains how the development of a global standard measure of forest carbon will jumpstart the carbon economy.
Scientist
Robert Stallard
My research focuses on how land-cover and climate change affect water movement through soils, weathering, and erosion, and how these, in turn, affect the composition and dispersal of dissolved and solid phases in rivers and trace gases in the atmosphere. Some of my areas of expertise include...
Scientist
Aaron O'Dea
Research in my lab focuses on change in marine ecosystems over time, from millions of years ago to the recent past and the present day. Environmental and ecological transformation of the Caribbean caused by formation of the Isthmus of Panama and global climate changes over the last 10 million...
Scientist
Harilaos Lessios
I am interested in the evolution and the ecology of marine organisms, particularly sea urchins, but also fishes, crustaceans, and corals. I focus on the processes that give rise to new species, and I use molecular tools to reconstruct the history of populations and of genes. Typically, this...
