Colorless corals
Why are there suddenly so many bleached corals along the Caribbean coast of Panama?
Marzo 06, 2024
A massive coral bleaching event in Panama’s Guna Yala islands along the eastern Caribbean coast signals a major problem with rising ocean temperatures and their long-term effects.
Scientist
Ana Spalding
We use social science and interdisciplinary research methods to study the links between people and natural resource use, and access. Broadly, our work encompasses three themes: the future of ocean governance, human dimensions of coupled natural human systems, and the links between development,...

Is the world’s biggest vine on Panama’s Barro Colorado Island?
Julio 19, 2024
Long-term research at Barro Colorado Island Research Station and at many other locations show that there are more woody vines in tropical forests, but very little is known about them. They are difficult to measure and so are often overlooked. This research group measured the biggest vine they have found on the island—but is this the biggest liana in the world? The authors challenge others to come up with a bigger one.

Researchers count manatees using their chatter to recognize individuals
Septiembre 05, 2024
An improved method of identifying manatees by their vocalizations makes it easier to tell them apart, to better estimate their populations and help efforts for their conservation.

A global standard for forest carbon storage requires ground-based measurements
Octubre 04, 2024
To create a global standard for forest carbon storage, we need boots on the ground. The GEO-TREES system of forest plots offers this immediately: establishing a single method for forest carbon estimation at existing on-the-ground forest study sites around the world.
