Why are some sea snails moving north? My first publication has been translated into a kid's article!! www.sciencejournalforkids.org/articles/why...
Why are some sea snails moving north? - Science Journal for Kids and Teens
Scientists wanted to find out how sea snails were adapting to new habitats in colder waters. Scientific article for students.

For the first time in 40 Years, Panama's deep and cold ocean waters fail to emerge
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 Institut...

Great to see more innovation with eDNA this time looking at rainwater in tropical forests for greater insights 🌍 #TropicalEcology #TropicalForests #eDNA phys.org/news/2025-08...
DNA from rainwater provides a window into tropical canopy biodiversity
Tropical rainforests still represent a treasure trove of undiscovered species. While many species of plants, animals, and insects have been identified over the years, some parts of these tropical ecos...

Females and predatory bats appear to integrate water ripples produced by calls, but do they care about swat ripples? That is, could attacks by the frog-biting midge create effects that cascade throughout the communication network, and shift relative male fitness? Photo by @kathglz.bsky.social

Costa Rica will be hosting the Latin-American Conference of Herpetology.. my first conference ever was hosted by Colombia and I had a blast! Now it will be hosted in my home country and I cannot wait! 🇨🇷🐸🐍🐢🦎🐊 More information below 👇🏽
Why do treehoppers look so weird?! Our latest paper, out this week in @pnas.org, suggests a perhaps unexpected reason - static electricity ⚡ We show that treehoppers can detect the electrostatic cues of predators and that their crazy shapes may boost their electrosensitivity! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
Electroreception in treehoppers: How extreme morphologies can increase electrical sensitivity | PNAS
The link between form and function of an organism’s morphology is usually apparent or intuitive. However, some clades of organisms show remarkable ...

Had a great time at #ABS2025! Met with old and new friends. Learned a lot about the importance of collaborations at all levels of our career path and how important is to show up and share our own experiences. I will be sharing more of my work in animal communication in tropical forests 🌳🐸
Costa Rica is getting ready to host the next Latin American congress of Herpetology! 🇨🇷 I had the best experience in my first latino conference back in Cartagena and now we will be back in my beautiful home country! Please share and join the community! 🐸🐍🐢🦎🐊
