Tracking nutrient blasts
How do natural and human-discharged nutrient pulses impact tropical marine ecosystems?
March 14, 2018
Nutrient upwelling season in the Bay of Panama and water quality tests from 20 previously unmonitored rivers provide a Panamanian researcher with clues about how nutrient addition impacts coastal ecosystems.
The Rariphotic
Smithsonian Researchers Name New Ocean Zone
March 20, 2018
New ocean zone is home to many new species of reef fish
Mystery Migration
Whale Shark Logs Longest-Recorded Migration
April 30, 2018
A whale shark named Anne swam all the way across the Pacific from Coiba National Park in Panama to the Marianas Trench.
A big fish story
Big fish produce disproportionately bigger eggs and more of them
May 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
May 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
May 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
May 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.
Through the eyes of a fish
A tale of communication on coral reefs
May 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?
May 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.
