Bat babble
Mother bats use baby talk to communicate with their pups
Agosto 26, 2020
Just as humans with their babies, adult female bats change their vocalizations when interacting with “babbling” pups, which could be interpreted as positive feedback to their offspring during vocal practice
Social Distancing
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.

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.
Gamboa Bat Nights

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
David Roubik
I’ve gotten used to performing long-term studies, and shorter-term field experiments, but most of all try to mix and match what is both interesting and useful. Many studies have come to fruition, and those I continue to expand consider 1) ecology and taxonomy of stingless bees and orchid bees, 2...
