As part of her doctoral work, Heather Stewart is exploring what factors influence the marine sessile community growing on mangrove roots and what is driving the coral invasion of Bocas del Toro mangrove forests, a unique phenomenon
In Bocas del Toro’s Caribbean waters in Panama, a STRI postdoctoral fellow asks how marine life responds to low oxygen levels and higher temperatures in the ocean
Study Sheds New Light on Fundamental Question in Evolutionary Biology
With multiple projects in both the Pacific and the Caribbean, the Collin Lab pieces together the complex life histories of marine invertebrates.
Rapid increases in ocean acidity puts crustose coralline algae in a growth predicament, research by a Smithsonian marine scientist shows.
Smithsonian scientists who documented massive mortality of corals and reef organisms meticulously studied one of the apparent causes: oxygen deficiency. A Smithsonian paleobiologist asks if the recent fossil record shows signs of similar hypoxia events.
