Super corals?
Yacht Acadia Expedition: are eastern pacific corals climate change survivors?
February 25, 2021
An entrepreneur who dreamed of becoming an oceanographer teams up with STRI researchers and young Latin American biologists to find out if some coral reefs are more resilient than others. His yacht will be the center of operations as they deploy high tech sensor arrays at sites around the tropical eastern Pacific.
Baby bats
Similar to human babies, this bat species learns to communicate through babbling and vocal imitation
August 23, 2021
Long-term monitoring of the bat species Saccopteryx bilineata in their natural setting revealed that pups display babbling behavior strikingly similar to that of human infants
Andrew Sellers
The Rohr Reef Resilience expeditions to Panama, Costa Rica and beyond
September 23, 2021
Coral reefs in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) are exposed to a broad range of environmental conditions defined by the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean. Regional variation in upwelling activity along the TEP make it an ideal natural laboratory to understand the importance of changing environmental conditions for reef health and resiliency. Watch Panamanian scientist Andrew Sellers explain the aims of the ambitious Rohr Reef Resilience (RRR) Project, and his experience in recent research expeditions to the Panamanian and Costa Rican Pacific.
Vine takeover
Dramatic liana increases in old-growth tropical forests is linked to natural disturbance and climate change
September 29, 2021
The accelerated proliferation of these woody vines, due to natural disturbance, is altering forest structure, regeneration and functioning

Ancestors of whale sharks in Panama may come from distant waters
November 01, 2021
Genetic population connectivity study of the endangered whale shark in Pacific Panama provides important data for conservation efforts.
Aquatic microbes
Secondary forests restore fresh water sources in degraded landscapes
November 11, 2021
Analyses of microbial communities in streams across different land use types suggests that passive reforestation rapidly restores water quality in lowland tropical watersheds.
Counting bees
Orchid bees show remarkable resistance to major climate events
October 27, 2021
The longest continuous study of euglossines in the tropics found relatively stable populations of these wild bees over four decades.
Under the sea
A decade of deep-reef exploration in the Greater Caribbean
