Visiting Bacurú Drõa, a community-led study of forest giants in Eastern Panama
Junio 28, 2024
The importance of community participation and consent in all aspects of tropical forest research in indigenous areas is critical but can only be achieved through creating space for dialogue.

Is the world’s biggest vine on Panama’s Barro Colorado Island?
Julio 19, 2024
Long-term research at Barro Colorado Island Research Station and at many other locations show that there are more woody vines in tropical forests, but very little is known about them. They are difficult to measure and so are often overlooked. This research group measured the biggest vine they have found on the island—but is this the biggest liana in the world? The authors challenge others to come up with a bigger one.

A global standard for forest carbon storage requires ground-based measurements
Octubre 04, 2024
To create a global standard for forest carbon storage, we need boots on the ground. The GEO-TREES system of forest plots offers this immediately: establishing a single method for forest carbon estimation at existing on-the-ground forest study sites around the world.

Happy New Year
Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2025!
Diciembre 31, 2024
Last year we celebrated 100 years of tropical biology research, a testament to the teamwork and commitment of the STRI team to science across national boundaries. This year will bring new challenges, but our dedication to the study of tropical forests and reefs will not waver.
