The universe of fungi that inhabit plants
Diciembre 12, 2019
How do microorganisms influence seed survival in the forest?
Forest of Giants
What do we know about Darien's forests?
Abril 15, 2020
A scientific mission in the Panamanian jungle found some of the largest trees in the country
Stabilize the Climate
A Temperature Tipping Point for Tropical Forests
Mayo 21, 2020
A study in Science by 225 researchers working with data from 590 forest sites around the world concludes that tropical forests release much more carbon into the atmosphere at high temperatures.

Native trees thrive in teak plantations and may protect the Panama Canal
Agosto 12, 2020
Teak often underperforms on poor soils. By planting valuable native trees in existing teak plantations, researchers will evaluate the potential increase in timber value, biodiversity value and ecosystem services provided.
Hungry megaherbivores
How do Giraffes and Elephants alter the african savanna landscape?
Septiembre 15, 2020
Through their foraging behavior across the diverse topography of the African savanna, megaherbivores may be unknowingly influencing the growth and survival of vegetation on valleys and plateaus, while preserving steep slopes as habitat refugia.
Masked singers
First Sightings of Lek and courtship behavior in wrinkle-faced bats
Noviembre 18, 2020
Male Wrinkle-faced bats lower a flap of skin resembling a face mask when they are ready to mate according to a rare sighting of a lek of bats in Costa Rica.
Reducing uncertainty
Smithsonian scientists reduce uncertainty in forest carbon storage calculations
Enero 11, 2021
Helene Muller-Landau, staff scientist, was invited to write an authoritative review about carbon storage in forests. Her team combed through existing studies and came up with some novel conclusions of their own.

The ecological effects of lightning in a tropical forest
Marzo 02, 2021
Lightning is common in the tropics, but its ecological effects in tropical forests are poorly understood. Steve Yanoviak, STRI research associate and professor at the University of Louisville, will summarize the basic physics of lightning, how we study lightning in Panama and the importance of lightning as an agent of tropical tree mortality.
Mysterious living monuments
How will the biggest tropical trees respond to climate change?
Marzo 30, 2021
Scientists think that climate change may have greater impact the largest trees in tropical forests, and the death of these giants has a major impact on the forest, but because these monumental trees are few and far between, almost nothing is known about what causes them to die.
