Extraordinary fossil find reveals details about the weight and diet of extinct saber-toothed marsupial
October 12, 2023
A 13-million-year-old saber-toothed marsupial skeleton discovered during paleontological explorations in Colombia is the most complete specimen recovered in the region
Critical conservation sites
The highlands of Panama, Central Panama and Darien identified among the 50 Threatened Amphibian Landscapes worldwide
October 19, 2023
A groundbreaking study assessed the extinction risk of more than 8,000 amphibian species worldwide and concluded that two out of five amphibians are threatened.
Scientist
Carlos Jaramillo
Based on clues ranging from microscopic pollen samples to massive petrified trees and larger-than-life-sized turtle and crocodile fossils, my lab pieces together millions of years of evidence to reconstruct the deep-time history of tropical ecosystems. I help to build international networks of...
Scientist

My primary research focus is on Panamanian frogs that are likely extinct in the wild due to a fungal infection but are kept alive in captive breeding programs in Panama and the United States. Our lab has collected founding individuals for these amphibian colonies, devised methods to sustainably...

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.
Leatherback migrations
Leatherback sea turtle behavior: stay near home or set off across the ocean?
October 30, 2024
A new study finds that leatherback sea turtles tend to migrate rather than forage when chlorophyll, primary productivity, and sea surface temperature levels are lower.
