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.
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.
Bright Spot
Plenty of gloom with a dash of hope: Fossils reveal a lone reef in similar state to coral reefs before human impact
Febrero 28, 2020
Fossil corals show what reefs were like before human impact and reveal a modern “bright spot” reef with apparent long-term resilience to deterioration caused by humans.

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.
Ancient diseases
The trace of suffering, in the bones
Julio 02, 2020
Human remains used to be considered a nuisance in archaeological excavations. Today they are considered a valuable source of information to understand the ways of life of prehistoric populations and their conditions.

Long-term consequences of river damming in the Panama Canal
Julio 10, 2020
As the demand for hydroelectricity and water increases in the tropics, a team of scientists explored the natural impacts of one of the oldest tropical dams in the world
New tools
New fossil catfish species identified through 3D visualization technology
Agosto 07, 2020
Through the use of new tools and techniques, paleontologists can better advance our understanding of the paleodiversity of different geological periods
