A damselfish moves to Mexico
An Indo-Pacific damselfish takes hold on the other side of the globe
May 23, 2018
Smithsonian marine biologist Ross Robertson suspects that the regal demoiselle hitched a ride to the Gulf of Mexico on an oil rig. Its outstanding success in its new habitat raises questions about its impact in the Gulf.

Sweet desserts drive the search for disease-carrying mosquitoes
July 02, 2018
As researchers ask which disease-carrying mosquito species will rule Panama’s Azuero Penninsula (and perhaps the world), they discover culinary delights along the way.
Unique strategies
Each tropical tree species gets the nutrients it needs
August 06, 2018
Biodiversity is the key to successful reforestation and climate-change mitigation because each tree species has its own way of getting the nutrients it needs to survive.

All the fish in the sea?
Smithsonian sleuths distinguish tropical marine habitats in Panama using eDNA
May 25, 2020
One of the big questions about using DNA in seawater to make species lists is whether it comes from a specific site or has floated in from elsewhere. In this study researchers could distinguish different marine habitats using only DNA.
