A five-year, $2-million grant will help test the hypothesis that rare trees are more susceptible to pathogens than common trees on Barro Colorado Island.

Some beetles have a rather inventive, if unsavory, way of fending off predators.
My colleagues and I are interested to understand the main factors that affect the maintenance of local arthropod biodiversity in tropical rainforests. Our research program has several components. We have studied insect-plant interactions, the host-specificity of...
Mosquitoes in the genus Aedes, which can carry dangerous viruses causing yellow fever, chikungunya and Zika, invaded the crossroads of the Americas multiple times, by land and by sea.
Designed to share a hands-on-science experience, the new, brightly-painted van will make it possible for kids and adults to participate in the excitement of the discovery process in cities and towns across Panama.
As researchers ask which disease-carrying mosquito species will rule Panama’s Azuero Penninsula (and perhaps the world), they discover culinary delights along the way.
