Shark dandruff
How can “shark dandruff” contribute to coral reef conservation?
July 06, 2021
Sharks’ bodies are covered with tiny, tooth-like scales called denticles. Shed denticles settle to the ocean floor, where they remain in sediments for years and can be used to understand which sharks lived on a reef in the past.
Paleo Nut
Is this the oldest cashew on the isthmus?
August 03, 2021
A fossil tree discovery in Panama offers clues regarding the establishment of the genus Anacardium in Central and South America
Hearing test for tropical bats
Hearing sensitivity of bats may explain their great diversity in tropical forests
September 08, 2021
A mobile hearing test determined that the hearing sensitivity of Neotropical bats is associated with the sounds generated by their prey, demonstrating how hearing ability may relate directly to niche differentiation.
Special Feature
Scientists share lessons about the Anthropocene’s impact on tropical forests
September 28, 2021
Nine articles explore impacts of ancient human societies on tropical ecosystems, revealing the importance of incorporating the paleosciences, social sciences and Indigenous traditional knowledge to solve contemporary environmental challenges.
Crabosaur
Unique dinosaur-era fossil bridges a gap in the evolution of crabs
October 21, 2021
The oldest and most complete fossil crab ever discovered suggests that these animals ventured onto land at least 25 to 50 million years earlier than previously thought
Into the Spider-Verse
A young biologist shares her love for eight-legged creatures
December 21, 2021
Self-professed spider-fan and arachnid systematist Stephany Arizala would like more people to study this megadiverse group, so that we can do a better job of protecting them.
Under the sea
A decade of deep-reef exploration in the Greater Caribbean
March 09, 2022
The use of submersibles exponentially increased recorded diversity of islands’ deep-reef fish faunas.
Fossil leaves
What the leaves tell us: stories of extinction and the origins of tropical forests
April 26, 2022
Plant leaves show us the species that exist in a forest, and the ecological conditions in which they live. These attributes can also be observed in fossil leaves, which allows us to reconstruct forests that existed millions of years ago and understand how they have changed over time. In this talk we will talk about how fossil leaves tell us about the effect of a mass extinction 66 million years ago, on the evolution of modern tropical forests.
A rocky start
Unique agates on a Panamanian island reveal submarine volcanic activity
May 05, 2022
Giant agates found in an island on the Pacific coast of Panama prompted a study on the area’s geology to answer the question of how the Isthmus evolved and became a bridge between two continents.
