Hope for Chucunaque
First Jaguar in Panama fitted with GPS transmitter
November 29, 2019
After years of catching jaguars only in camera-trap images, Ricardo Moreno, STRI research associate and National Geographic Emerging Explorer, and a team of 20 biologists and community members were able to catch a jaguar and fit it with a transmitter that will help researchers conserve these majestic cats in the wild.
Invasion
Jaguars could prevent a not-so-great American Biotic Exchange
January 15, 2020
Urban and agricultural development and deforestation along the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor might be generating a new passageway for invasive species adapted to human disturbance.

Olive ridley turtles avoid unfavorable conditions
January 30, 2020
The nomadic nature of these marine turtles allows them to adapt to dynamic environmental factors, but presents a conservation challenge that STRI researchers hope to resolve
Swimming on microplastics
Microplastics are new homes for microbes in the Caribbean
February 19, 2020
Only about 1% of marine plastic debris is recovered at the ocean’s surface, meaning the other 99% likely either sinks or is consumed by marine organisms
Bright Spot
Plenty of gloom with a dash of hope: Fossils reveal a lone reef in similar state to coral reefs before human impact
February 28, 2020
Fossil corals show what reefs were like before human impact and reveal a modern “bright spot” reef with apparent long-term resilience to deterioration caused by humans.

Are city ants weaker?
April 16, 2020
To understand the effects of urbanization and forest loss on insects, Dumas Gálvez studies the ability of ants to defend themselves against diseases in the city and in nature
Too Close
Humpback whales may risk collision with vessels in the Magellan Strait
May 26, 2020
By tagging and tracking migrating humpback whales that feed in the Magellan Strait in Chile, the scientists were able to provide policy recommendations to reduce the risk of collisions

Unraveling sustainable forest management while in confinement
May 27, 2020
Edwin H. García started as a Bachelor student in Agua Salud 8 years ago. Now he leads a research project that will allow for estimating the value of native trees for reforestation and restoration

Science and technology for the conservation of manatees in Bocas del Toro and the Ngäbe-Buglé region
July 09, 2020
Manatees are endangered aquatic mammals. To help protect them, researchers Héctor Guzmán from STRI, Fernando Merchán, Héctor Poveda and Javier Sánchez-Galán from the Technological University of Panama (UTP), and Guillaume Ferré from ENSEIRB-MATMECA, developed a monitoring system based on hydrophones, which detects in real-time the underwater calls these animals make to communicate with each other.
