To create a global standard for forest carbon storage, we need boots on the ground. The GEO-TREES system of forest plots offers this immediately: establishing a single method for forest carbon estimation at existing on-the-ground forest study sites around the world.
The importance of timber plantations as corridors or shelter for mammals.
Research teams studying bats and birds gather in Panama’s Soberanía National Park to celebrate the launch of a long-term census of bats designed to complement the bird census which will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.
Observations of Coiba’s tool-using immature capuchin monkeys show them carrying abducted infant howler monkeys. What is the reason for this behavior?
The air moving above the forest carries valuable information about how trees absorb carbon, and what may happen in the future as global temperatures rise.
Research in my lab focuses on change in marine ecosystems over time, from millions of years ago to the recent past and the present day. Environmental and ecological transformation of the Caribbean caused by formation of the Isthmus of Panama and global climate changes over the last 10 million...
My lab uses natural history observations, combined with experimental field and laboratory studies, to better understand the evolution of animal behavior in changing environments. Our research focuses primarily on weakly social bees and fungus-growing ants to understand how environmental,...
My research investigates ecological and evolutionary influences on variation in rainforest communities across the tropics. The overarching goal of my research is to understand broad-scale patterns in the diversity and dynamics of tropical rainforests. Understanding how the environment constrains...
My primary research interest is the ecology of tropical rainforests, plant-animal interactions and theoretical ecology. Along with Robin Foster (now at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago), I founded the 50-hectare forest dynamics plot on Barro Colorado Island in the Panama Canal. The...
