Climate change: causes, effects and predictions
Junio 30, 2023
Almost everything we do in some way contributes to climate change.
Critical conservation sites
The highlands of Panama, Central Panama and Darien identified among the 50 Threatened Amphibian Landscapes worldwide
Octubre 19, 2023
A groundbreaking study assessed the extinction risk of more than 8,000 amphibian species worldwide and concluded that two out of five amphibians are threatened.
Scientist
Roberto Ibañez
My primary research focus is on Panamanian frogs that are likely extinct in the wild due to a fungal infection but are kept alive in captive breeding programs in Panama and the United States. Our lab has collected founding individuals for these amphibian colonies, devised methods to sustainably...
Playa Istmito Project
Involving local students in the study of algal blooms on Isla Colón, in Bocas Del Toro, Panama.
Enero 05, 2024
Students in Bocas del Toro helped Smithsonian researchers collect environmental data to better understand what factors influence the proliferation of algal deposits in the largest island of the archipelago
Red-eyed treefrogs
Red-eyed treefrog eggs hatch a plan to escape warming temperatures
Julio 12, 2024
A new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) shows that red-eyed treefrog embryos hatch early when exposed to high ammonia levels — an environmental cue that it’s too hot and dry for the eggs to survive.

Science and universal education for tackling climate change
Marzo 25, 2020
The world economy is based on increased population and consumption, and education has an important impact on reducing this
Leatherback migrations
Leatherback sea turtle behavior: stay near home or set off across the ocean?
Octubre 30, 2024
A new study finds that leatherback sea turtles tend to migrate rather than forage when chlorophyll, primary productivity, and sea surface temperature levels are lower.
