Courtship movements put katydids in danger
Abril 30, 2020
Females may also be prone to predation as they move toward a mating call
Tipping point
Tropical forests may be approaching a critical high-temperature threshold, but there is still time to act
Agosto 23, 2023
A new study in Nature combining satellite thermal- and in situ warming data found that a percentage of tropical leaves are already reaching the temperatures at which they can no longer function.
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...

Martijn Slot
In my lab we try to understand how climate change affects tropical forests by studying how environmental factors influence the physiology and ecology of tropical trees and lianas. We are interested in identifying threshold temperatures for various aspects of plant performance, including carbon...
Forest unearthed
An extinct mangrove forest discovered on Panama’s Barro Colorado Island
Enero 30, 2024
A volcanic eruption 22 million years ago triggered a sediment flow that preserved a mangrove forest around what is now Barro Colorado Island, providing a better glimpse of the vegetation that existed in a highly changing area.

Tropical tree fern repurposes its dead leaves
Febrero 26, 2024
A species of tree fern found only in Panama uses ‘zombie leaves’ or reanimated dead leaf fronds, and turns them into root structures that feed the mother plant.
Colorful warning
Red flags: I’m not the bug for you!
Marzo 27, 2024
The matador bugs' vibrant flags are neither a dating display nor a distraction tactic, they’re part of an elaborate defense strategy, according to a new study in Gamboa

Indigenous marine biologist deciphers the evolution of feeding strategies of sister fish species on both sides of the isthmus of Panama
Abril 19, 2024
Through advanced isotopic analyses, Rodnyel Arosemena seeks to understand how fish in the Caribbean and the Pacific that had a common ancestor take advantage of the resources of their different environments today.
Scientist
Klaus Winter
The Winter lab studies how tropical plants, particularly trees, function and interact with their environment. We explore plant function in the field and under controlled conditions, at the whole organism level and at the level of individual organs, combining physiological, biochemical and...
