Is the world’s biggest vine on Panama’s Barro Colorado Island?
July 19, 2024
Long-term research at Barro Colorado Island Research Station and at many other locations show that there are more woody vines in tropical forests, but very little is known about them. They are difficult to measure and so are often overlooked. This research group measured the biggest vine they have found on the island—but is this the biggest liana in the world? The authors challenge others to come up with a bigger one.

Between pasture and forest: the crusade to protect the jaguar in Panama
July 24, 2024
Fundación Yaguará Panama not only leads the protection of the largest feline in the Americas in cattle ranching areas of the country, but also promotes gender equality by actively involving women in key roles in the project, both at the scientific and community levels.

How frogs’ superpowers may have led to life on land
July 31, 2024
Frogs lay eggs both in the water and in jelly-like masses on plants. Could their flexible behavior help explain how vertebrates moved from life in ocean to life on land?
Red-eyed treefrogs
Red-eyed treefrog eggs hatch a plan to escape warming temperatures
July 12, 2024
A new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) shows that red-eyed treefrog embryos hatch early when exposed to high ammonia levels — an environmental cue that it’s too hot and dry for the eggs to survive.

Science and universal education for tackling climate change
March 25, 2020
The world economy is based on increased population and consumption, and education has an important impact on reducing this
For good measure
A global standard for forest carbon storage requires ground-based measurements
October 04, 2024
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.
Leatherback migrations
Leatherback sea turtle behavior: stay near home or set off across the ocean?
October 30, 2024
A new study finds that leatherback sea turtles tend to migrate rather than forage when chlorophyll, primary productivity, and sea surface temperature levels are lower.

The benefits of small-scale plantations for mammal species in mixed landscapes (Webinar in Spanish)
November 08, 2024
The importance of timber plantations as corridors or shelter for mammals.
