Tracking nutrient blasts
How do natural and human-discharged nutrient pulses impact tropical marine ecosystems?
Marzo 14, 2018
Nutrient upwelling season in the Bay of Panama and water quality tests from 20 previously unmonitored rivers provide a Panamanian researcher with clues about how nutrient addition impacts coastal ecosystems.

Old Species Learn New Tricks…Very Slowly
Agosto 23, 2018
Perhaps old species, like some older people, gradually lose their ability to deal with changes in their environment. Aaron O’Dea and colleagues show that when the Caribbean was cut off from the Pacific by the rise of the Panama land bridge, evolutionarily old species took longer to expand into new habitats than evolutionarily younger species did.

Innovation by ice cream bean relatives explains biodiversity
Marzo 14, 2019
The back and forth relationship between insects and their food plants may drive tropical biodiversity evolution according to work on Barro Colorado Island’s 50 hectare plot.
Pheromone talk
The queen gets to keep her daughter
Mayo 23, 2019
Why did some bee species become social, while the majority have remained solitary? On Barro Colorado Island, a bee that adopts both strategies interchangeably, may unlock the evolutionary origins of sociality in insects
