Isolation led white-faced capuchin monkeys into the Stone Age
July 21, 2020
After 14 thousand years of living in confinement and without the threat of predators, the white-faced capuchin monkeys on the Coiba National Park islands have begun to exhibit behaviors that have not been recorded in the mainland populations. For example, they are highly terrestrial and have learned to use stones as tools. Listen to doctoral student in animal behavior and former STRI fellow, Claudio Monteza, tell us this story.
Tracking humpback whales

Satellite tracking technology reveals the massive ranges of breeding areas of humpback whales in the Pacific Ocean.
Scientist
Donald M. Windsor
My colleagues and I bring field-collected leaf beetles (principally Cassidinae sensu lato) into the lab to more carefully observe and photograph feeding behavior and to archive the various immature stages for systematic morphological study. Insects are labeled and stored in ethanol at -20C and...
