Serial Killer?
Scientists catch the suspect in long-term marine murder mystery
May 12, 2023
Murder mysteries may take decades to resolve, especially if they take place under the sea. The massive deaths of sea urchins in the Caribbean in the 1980’s is one of them. But only after a new killing spree erupted in 2022, could scientists corner the probable killer.
Scientist
D. Ross Robertson
Since I joined STRI’s scientific staff in 1975, I have conducted field research on a broad range of topics relating to the reproductive biology, demography, population biology, behavior, community ecology, evolution and biogeography of tropical reef fishes, with an emphasis on those species that...
Living Color
A new underwater photo studio yields pixel-scale fish color pattern data
August 29, 2023
The first winner of the D. Ross Robertson Postdoctoral Fellowship for Field Studies on Neotropical Reef Fishes, Floriane Coulmance, tests a new, underwater camera system to study the connection between hamlet color patterns and genetics in fish from four countries around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.

Bacurú Drõa: How well do Emberá indigenous communities conserve old growth forests in Darien, Panamá?
February 15, 2023
Existing conservation policies rarely reward local people who care for old-growth forests. In this study, Indigenous Emberá residents worked with scientists to show how, through their sustainable lifestyle in communities established during the 1960’s-1980’s in one of Central America’s most pristine, old-growth forests, they act as custodians, conserving this, shared space.

Elizabeth (Liz) Stockwell sent this obituary of her father, STRI research associate, Henry Stockwell, in May, 2023. We published a brief mention at the time and include the entire text here.
A guiding force in archaeology
Wishing farewell to our friend, Dr. Richard Cooke
November 30, 2023
He would have turned 77 this past October. We deeply miss his endless enthusiasm for learning and his passion for teaching others.
Scientist
Rachel Collin
In the Collin Lab we work to understand how environmental conditions, their natural variation and environmental change from the climate emergency shape marine ecosystems and biodiversity. Our current work focuses on three areas (1) Documenting the biodiversity of tropical marine invertebrates, (...
