Counting carbon
The argument for GEO-TREES, a standard measure of forest carbon
December 06, 2023
Joshua Tewksbury, director of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, explains how the development of a global standard measure of forest carbon will jumpstart the carbon economy.
Scientist
Ruth Bennett
My research seeks to optimize the conservation of birds and biodiversity in tropical working landscapes, especially coffee and cocoa growing regions of Latin America. I lead the Smithsonian Bird Friendly® program, which offers a gold standard certification for coffee and cocoa farms that...
COMBINA
Teaming up to combat invasive marine species in the Tropical Eastern Pacific
May 30, 2024
A workshop in Panama City brought together scientists, policymakers, environmental managers and port officials from across the Americas to coordinate efforts in marine biosecurity.
Scientist
Aaron O'Dea
Research in my lab focuses on change in marine ecosystems over time, from millions of years ago to the recent past and the present day. Environmental and ecological transformation of the Caribbean caused by formation of the Isthmus of Panama and global climate changes over the last 10 million...
Scientist
William Wcislo
My lab uses natural history observations, combined with experimental field and laboratory studies, to better understand the evolution of animal behavior in changing environments. Our research focuses primarily on weakly social bees and fungus-growing ants to understand how environmental,...
Scientist
Stuart Davies
My research investigates ecological and evolutionary influences on variation in rainforest communities across the tropics. The overarching goal of my research is to understand broad-scale patterns in the diversity and dynamics of tropical rainforests. Understanding how the environment constrains...
Scientist
Stephen Hubbell
My primary research interest is the ecology of tropical rainforests, plant-animal interactions and theoretical ecology. Along with Robin Foster (now at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago), I founded the 50-hectare forest dynamics plot on Barro Colorado Island in the Panama Canal. The...
Scientist
Harilaos Lessios
I am interested in the evolution and the ecology of marine organisms, particularly sea urchins, but also fishes, crustaceans, and corals. I focus on the processes that give rise to new species, and I use molecular tools to reconstruct the history of populations and of genes. Typically, this...
Scientist
Sean McMahon
My primary research focuses on the ecological mechanisms that structure forest communities and determine their fine- and large-scale spatial and temporal dynamics. This research spans topics as diverse as forest demography, functional traits, canopy structure and change over succession, spatial...
