Eavesdropping
Underwater Manatee chatter may aid in their conservation
Octubre 04, 2019
Scientists propose a new method, based on underwater recordings, for estimating the population size of the Antillean manatee, an endangered marine mammal
Bound by blood
Vampire bat bonding persists from the lab to the wild
Octubre 31, 2019
Bats moved from a captive colony back to a tree stayed with their friends.
Invasion
Jaguars could prevent a not-so-great American Biotic Exchange
Enero 15, 2020
Urban and agricultural development and deforestation along the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor might be generating a new passageway for invasive species adapted to human disturbance.
Sick and shunned?
Even fake illness affects relationships among vampire bats
Marzo 12, 2020
How do social interactions change in the face of illness? As humans face potential global pandemics we look to nature for examples. Close observation of another highly social animal, the vampire bat, sheds light on how interactions change—or do not change—as individuals become sick.
Mision Manati
Science and technology for the conservation of manatees in Bocas del Toro and the Ngäbe-Buglé region
Julio 09, 2020
Manatees are endangered aquatic mammals. To help protect them, researchers Héctor Guzmán from STRI, Fernando Merchán, Héctor Poveda and Javier Sánchez-Galán from the Technological University of Panama (UTP), and Guillaume Ferré from ENSEIRB-MATMECA, developed a monitoring system based on hydrophones, which detects in real-time the underwater calls these animals make to communicate with each other.
Picky eater
Invasive lionfish may be a selective predator
Julio 30, 2020
By evaluating the diet choices of this species in a semi-natural environment, scientists could improve predictions of how it might affect newly invaded communities
Biodiversity is better
Biodiversity may limit invasions: Lessons from lizards on Panama Canal Islands
Agosto 10, 2020
Lizards transplanted from the mainland to small islands in Lake Gatun, Panama, took their parasitic mites with them. What happened next provides great experimental evidence for the enemy release hypothesis.
Guano secrets
DNA in fringe-lipped bat poop reveals unexpected eating habits
Octubre 26, 2020
The poop of Trachops cirrhosus revealed surprising results about its foraging abilities and prey preferences.
Micropaleontology
Modern computational tools may open a new era for fossil pollen research
Noviembre 12, 2020
By integrating machine-learning technology with high-resolution imaging, scientists are improving the taxonomic resolution of fossil pollen identifications and greatly enhancing the use of pollen data in ecological and evolutionary research.
