A big fish story
Big fish produce disproportionately bigger eggs and more of them
Mayo 10, 2018
A new paper in Science shows that big female fish are disproportionately important to maintaining populations. The research suggests that protection of large, reproductive females is essential to sustaining viable fish stocks.
Ocean acidification and reefs
The glue that holds the coral reef together threatened by global change
Mayo 11, 2018
Rapid increases in ocean acidity puts crustose coralline algae in a growth predicament, research by a Smithsonian marine scientist shows.
The hard lives of larvae
From cold temps to heat stress and oxygen depletion, marine larvae overcome hazards on the way to adulthood
Mayo 16, 2018
With multiple projects in both the Pacific and the Caribbean, the Collin Lab pieces together the complex life histories of marine invertebrates.
Seeking seabird sanctuary
Seabird studies on uninhabited tropical island may lead to island’s protection
Mayo 18, 2018
Isla Boná in the Gulf of Panama is an understudied breeding ground for thousands of tropical seabirds. Marine biologist Héctor Guzmán’s newest research program will contribute to understanding their ecology and the conservation of the island for birds and birders alike.
Save the bees
Pollination guide aims to avert global pollination crisis
Mayo 21, 2018
The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) published a newly revised version of The pollination of cultivated plants: A compendium for practitioners, edited by STRI staff scientist, David Roubik. Its release this year coincides with the first World Bee Day, on May 20 and contributes to awareness of the importance of pollinators for food security and conservation and direct steps to save them.
Through the eyes of a fish
A tale of communication on coral reefs
Mayo 22, 2018
Coral reef fish often see a very different seascape that humans do. Using the evolutionary laboratory created by the Isthmus of Panama, Michele Pierotti is learning exactly how they view their underwater world.
Pacific-crossing creatures
How genetically isolated is the marine fauna of Panama’s Coiba National Park?
Mayo 28, 2018
Seemingly far removed from similar ecosystems, research by Smithsonian scientist Harilaos Lessios shows that the diverse marine life of Coiba is connected to the rest of Eastern Tropical Pacific — and beyond.
Safer for Whales
Smithsonian Science Supports Costa Rican Cetacean Conservation
Junio 12, 2018
Whale tracking research contributes to maritime safety and cetacean protection in Costa Rica and the Pacific
Behavioral evolution
First report of stone tool use by Cebus Monkeys
Julio 09, 2018
White-faced capuchin monkeys in Panama’s Coiba National Park habitually use hammer and anvil stones to break hermit crab shells, snail shells, coconuts and other food items, according to visiting scientists at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). This is the first report of habitual stone-tool use by Cebus monkeys.
