This webinar talk highlighted the joint projects that promote the development of cutting-edge research and served as a platform to communicate scholarship opportunities available for Panamanians at STRI and at the Embassy
The accelerated proliferation of these woody vines, due to natural disturbance, is altering forest structure, regeneration and functioning
Nine articles explore impacts of ancient human societies on tropical ecosystems, revealing the importance of incorporating the paleosciences, social sciences and Indigenous traditional knowledge to solve contemporary environmental challenges.
Coral reefs in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) are exposed to a broad range of environmental conditions defined by the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean. Regional variation in upwelling activity along the TEP make it an ideal natural laboratory to understand the importance of changing environmental conditions for reef health and resiliency. Watch Panamanian scientist Andrew Sellers explain the aims of the ambitious Rohr Reef Resilience (RRR) Project, and his experience in recent research expeditions to the Panamanian and Costa Rican Pacific.
The guide aims to be a clarifying, science-based framework guiding the global community in the establishment of Marine Protected Areas
A mobile hearing test determined that the hearing sensitivity of Neotropical bats is associated with the sounds generated by their prey, demonstrating how hearing ability may relate directly to niche differentiation.
Colorful female Jacobins in the wild may feed more frequently and for longer periods than their drab counterparts
How can larger animals bear the increased energetic costs of maintaining disproportionately large weapons?
For the last several decades, amphibians have experienced population declines and extinctions due to their own pandemic caused by a chytrid fungus. Creating amphibian arks is critical for the survival of the most-affected species. Jorge Guerrel, project manager of the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation project, will give us a closer look at Panama’s pioneering efforts to conserve native frogs.
