Study Sheds New Light on Fundamental
Question in Evolutionary Biology
A scientific mission in the Panamanian jungle found some of the largest trees in the country
One of the big questions about using DNA in seawater to make species lists is whether it comes from a specific site or has floated in from elsewhere. In this study researchers could distinguish different marine habitats using only DNA.
Edwin H. García started as a Bachelor student in Agua Salud 8 years ago. Now he leads a research project that will allow for estimating the value of native trees for reforestation and restoration
The poop of Trachops cirrhosus revealed surprising results about its foraging abilities and prey preferences.
As oceans warm and become more acidic and oxygen-poor, Smithsonian researchers asked how marine life on a Caribbean coral reef copes with changing conditions.
