Indigenous Reforestation
Seeking Win-Win solutions to combat climate change and improve livelihoods in Panama’s indigenous Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca
October 10, 2022
Can smart reforestation lessons from the Smithsonian’s Agua Salud Project in the Panama Canal watershed benefit Indigenous communities on deforested land in Western Panama?
Frog fertility clinic
Artificial fertilization key to rescuing Panama’s endangered frogs from extinction
April 27, 2023
Animals in captivity may have trouble breeding, so to keep amphibian species from dying out, researchers are discovering new ways to help them reproduce.
Bat babble
Mother bats use baby talk to communicate with their pups
August 26, 2020
Just as humans with their babies, adult female bats change their vocalizations when interacting with “babbling” pups, which could be interpreted as positive feedback to their offspring during vocal practice
Reforestation Incentive
Economic Complexities of Forest Restoration: What’s in it for landowners?
December 29, 2023
A steady income stream incentivizes tropical landowners to reforest.
Biodiversity corridors
Animals caught on camera in plantations inform sustainable forestry
August 13, 2024
Timber plantations near urbanized areas support the movement of small and medium-sized terrestrial mammals between patches of natural forest.
Egged on
How frogs’ superpowers may have led to life on land
July 31, 2024
Frogs lay eggs both in the water and in jelly-like masses on plants. Could their flexible behavior help explain how vertebrates moved from life in ocean to life on land?
Red-eyed treefrogs
Red-eyed treefrog eggs hatch a plan to escape warming temperatures
July 12, 2024
A new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) shows that red-eyed treefrog embryos hatch early when exposed to high ammonia levels — an environmental cue that it’s too hot and dry for the eggs to survive.
Cooling CO2 Emissions
Can we reduce carbon dioxide emissions by simply allowing forests to recover?
September 13, 2024
Regrowing tropical forests emit significantly lower soil carbon dioxide than cattle pastures.
