Like repels like: Social distancing may explain coexistence of biodiverse tree species in tropical forests
Agosto 30, 2023
STRI staff scientist Joe Wright and colleagues present results in Science indicating that diversity among adult tropical trees can be maintained if spatial repulsion among individuals of the same species is greater than spatial repulsion among individuals of different species.
Reef fisheries
First global assessment of the sustainability of coral reef fisheries
Septiembre 21, 2023

Bacurú Drõa: How well do Emberá indigenous communities conserve old growth forests in Darien, Panamá?
Febrero 15, 2023
Existing conservation policies rarely reward local people who care for old-growth forests. In this study, Indigenous Emberá residents worked with scientists to show how, through their sustainable lifestyle in communities established during the 1960’s-1980’s in one of Central America’s most pristine, old-growth forests, they act as custodians, conserving this, shared space.
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
Harilaos Lessios
I am interested in the evolution and the ecology of marine organisms, particularly sea urchins, but also fishes, crustaceans, and corals. I focus on the processes that give rise to new species, and I use molecular tools to reconstruct the history of populations and of genes. Typically, this...
