In 2025, Panama faced the collapse of coastal upwelling, a vital phenomenon that nourishes ecosystems and fisheries. What does this mean for its environmental and social future?
Through the power of machine learning, an insect photo booth could allow the Arthropod Lab to track all 4,000 moth species on BCI
A new study led by researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) is the first to satellite-tag blue whales in the Galapagos, exploring their behavior in relation to environmental variables
The natural phenomenon of upwelling, which occurs annually in the Gulf of Panama, failed for the first time on record in 2025. A study led by scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) indicates that the weakening of the trade winds was the cause of this event. This finding highlights the climate’s impact on fundamental oceanic processes and the coastal communities that depend on them
Key aspects of their behavior, diet, and foraging relationships will be explored, highlighting the biodiversity hidden in the microhabitats of the tropical forest canopy.
