What makes a good (primate) leader?
October 17, 2019
Does a good leader have a better mental map of food in the forest? or is she simply driven by hunger?
Male or female
How does an intersex bee behave?
March 10, 2020
A collaborative effort at Barro Colorado island described the daily rhythm of a rare half male-half female bee
Old Genes, New Traits
Recycling old genes to get new traits – How social behavior evolves in bees
June 10, 2020
Researchers learned from some unusual sweat bee species on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, how the sophisticated division of labor in highly complex insect societies can arise from humble beginnings.
Darwinian Diet
You are what you eat: Evolutionary lessons from agricultural ants in Panama
October 28, 2020
Just as contemporary human societies depend on large-scale agriculture, leaf-cutter ants depend on a long, co-evolved relationship with a fungus. As humans, we may share some of the same rules that govern their relationship.
Masked singers

November 18, 2020
Male Wrinkle-faced bats lower a flap of skin resembling a face mask when they are ready to mate according to a rare sighting of a lek of bats in Costa Rica.
Doctor crocodile
In the footsteps of crocs
November 27, 2020
Crocodiles fulfill important functions in the ecosystems where they live, and they play a prominent role in the myths and legends of cultures around the world. Miryam Venegas-Anaya will share stories about years of field work in Panama with these fascinating reptiles to increase our understanding and appreciation of their diversity and behavior.
Rearing Cicadas
The path toward discovering a new species of Cicada
May 27, 2021
Annette Aiello has a natural history radar system that most of us lack. An observation of an insect exoskeleton on a potted plant may lead to the identification of a new insect species.
Kudos
Mary Jane West Eberhard receives Linnean Medal for Zoology
June 09, 2021
“Her unification of developmental plasticity and genetics is a huge advance in our understanding of evolution. Her decades-long work with tropical social wasps focusing on careful field observation is testimony to what a careful observer of natural history can contribute to evolutionary biology.”-the Linnean Society
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
