Invasion dynamics
Biologists discover that more intense predation in the tropics can limit marine invasions
Junio 23, 2021
What makes a successful invasion? What keeps invaders out? Are some geographic locations more vulnerable to invasion than others?
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

Milton Garcia’s Bird’s-Eye-View
Junio 07, 2018
When he’s not racing his bike cross-country, Milton Garcia is in demand for his expertise flying drones. In the last month, he monitored mangrove deforestation on Panama’s Pacific coast, mapped a new research station in Coiba National Park and tracked blooming trees on Barro Colorado Island, the first plot in an international network of forest monitoring sites.
Manatee lagoon
Have Antillean manatees crossed the Panama Canal?
Julio 13, 2022
Over half a century ago, a group of manatees from Bocas del Toro was flown into the artificial Gatun Lake to control the abundance of aquatic plants and for public health reasons. Where are they now?

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
Tipping point
Tropical forests may be approaching a critical high-temperature threshold, but there is still time to act
Agosto 23, 2023
A new study in Nature combining satellite thermal- and in situ warming data found that a percentage of tropical leaves are already reaching the temperatures at which they can no longer function.
Scientist
Mark Torchin
My lab’s research focuses on coastal marine ecology with an emphasis on host-parasite and consumer interactions, infectious diseases and biological invasions. I focus on how trophic interactions such as parasitism and predation alter populations, community structure and ecosystems. Parasites are...

Teaming up to combat invasive marine species in the Tropical Eastern Pacific
Mayo 30, 2024
A workshop in Panama City brought together scientists, policymakers, environmental managers and port officials from across the Americas to coordinate efforts in marine biosecurity.
