In the Panamanian forest, researchers track swarms of carnivorous army ants and the birds that follow them. A new documentary reveals a glimpse of life, and research in the Neotropics
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.
Timber plantations near urbanized areas support the movement of small and medium-sized terrestrial mammals between patches of natural forest.
Joe Sertich, paleontologist from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the Colorado State University, co-authored a new study naming a new species of dinosaur, which he says "pushes the envelope on bizarre ceratopsian headgear."
The importance of timber plantations as corridors or shelter for mammals.
Plant collections are full of surprises. It may take decades to id plant samples, but it’s worth the effort, especially when some of these species are not known from anywhere else on Earth.
Last year we celebrated 100 years of tropical biology research, a testament to the teamwork and commitment of the STRI team to science across national boundaries. This year will bring new challenges, but our dedication to the study of tropical forests and reefs will not waver.
Research in my lab combines empirical work with mathematical and statistical modelling to study patterns, dynamics, causes and consequences of biodiversity at scales ranging from local coexistence of species with similar resource requirements, to species interactions and coexistence at the...
