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,...
Following the swarm
Making a short documentary film in Panama’s tropical forest
Abril 11, 2024
In the Panamanian forest, researchers track swarms of carnivorous army ants and the birds that follow them. A new documentary reveals a glimpse of life, and research in the Neotropics
So hot!
How do insects cope with the rising temperatures?
Mayo 17, 2024
Temperatures affect ant behavior and colony function

Between pasture and forest: the crusade to protect the jaguar in Panama
Julio 24, 2024
Fundación Yaguará Panama not only leads the protection of the largest feline in the Americas in cattle ranching areas of the country, but also promotes gender equality by actively involving women in key roles in the project, both at the scientific and community levels.

How frogs’ superpowers may have led to life on land
Julio 31, 2024
Frogs lay eggs both in the water and in jelly-like masses on plants. Could their flexible behavior help explain how vertebrates moved from life in ocean to life on land?
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.

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.

Research projects in our lab combine approaches from behavioral ecology, functional morphology, ethology and evolution of behavior. Our work focuses mostly on the ultimate and proximate causes of behavior in an ecological and social context, with an emphasis on how ecological or social...
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.
