STRI Director Josh Tewksbury’s Remarks on Harassment
Diciembre 23, 2021
We are all working together to make tropical biology research safe for everyone by eliminating harassment.
Caribbean asphyxiation
Desperate brittlestars, suffocating corals and resilient microbes: First multidisciplinary data from an acute marine hypoxic event and its historical context
Julio 29, 2021
In September 2017, divers observed a massive “dead zone” rising to envelop Caribbean coral reefs in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Smithsonian post-docs joined together to understand marine hypoxia now and in the past.
Chronic drying
Getting to the roots: How does limiting rainfall affect tropical forest carbon storage?
Abril 26, 2023
An experiment preventing up to 70% of rain from reaching tropical forest soils aims to understand how important underground carbon stocks will respond to climate change.
Tropical scholar
Smithsonian honors STRI’s Joe Wright
Junio 29, 2023
Plant ecologist S. Joseph Wright received an award for his illustrious career at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, in Panama.
Consequences
Climate change: causes, effects and predictions
Junio 30, 2023
Almost everything we do in some way contributes to climate change.
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.
GEO-Trees
A revolution in forest carbon verification
Noviembre 27, 2023
The new GEO-TREES initiative addresses the uncertainty of satellite estimates of forest carbon by creating a trustworthy global carbon verification system based on existing collaborations among scientists at forest research sites worldwide. Supported by the Bezos Earth Fund, all data will be available free, online.
Scientist
Erin Spear
Research in our lab integrates disease ecology, mycology, and community ecology. We explore the nature and outcomes of plant-microbe interactions, as well as the ecology and epidemiology of fungal pathogens of tropical trees, using a combination of surveys and experiments in the forest,...
Scientist
Martijn Slot
In my lab we try to understand how climate change affects tropical forests by studying how environmental factors influence the physiology and ecology of tropical trees and lianas. We are interested in identifying threshold temperatures for various aspects of plant performance, including carbon...
