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.
Darwinian Diet
You are what you eat: Evolutionary lessons from agricultural ants in Panama
Octubre 28, 2020
Just as contemporary human societies depend on large-scale agriculture, leaf-cutter ants depend on a long, co-evolved relationship with a fungus. As humans, we may share some of the same rules that govern their relationship.
Doctor crocodile
In the footsteps of crocs
Noviembre 27, 2020
Crocodiles fulfill important functions in the ecosystems where they live, and they play a prominent role in the myths and legends of cultures around the world. Miryam Venegas-Anaya will share stories about years of field work in Panama with these fascinating reptiles to increase our understanding and appreciation of their diversity and behavior.

Mary Jane West Eberhard receives Linnean Medal for Zoology
Junio 09, 2021
“Her unification of developmental plasticity and genetics is a huge advance in our understanding of evolution. Her decades-long work with tropical social wasps focusing on careful field observation is testimony to what a careful observer of natural history can contribute to evolutionary biology.”-the Linnean Society
Dark navigation
First report of dorsal navigation in a flying insect
Junio 14, 2021
Sweat bees navigate through dark tropical forests guided by canopy patterns.
Baby bats
Similar to human babies, this bat species learns to communicate through babbling and vocal imitation
Agosto 23, 2021
Long-term monitoring of the bat species Saccopteryx bilineata in their natural setting revealed that pups display babbling behavior strikingly similar to that of human infants
Deceiving plumage
Female Hummingbirds look like males to avoid harassment
Agosto 31, 2021
Colorful female Jacobins in the wild may feed more frequently and for longer periods than their drab counterparts
Vine takeover
Dramatic liana increases in old-growth tropical forests is linked to natural disturbance and climate change
Septiembre 29, 2021
The accelerated proliferation of these woody vines, due to natural disturbance, is altering forest structure, regeneration and functioning
Succulent superpower
Engineering drought-resistant plants may be more difficult than it seems
Diciembre 17, 2021
The adaptation of certain plants to drought and high temperatures involves a fundamental reprogramming of their metabolism, not just a simple adjustment that can be made by regular plants.
