Life at many scales

Microbes on petri dish

Tropical forests are renowned for their biodiversity, but little is known about the microbes. A vast array of fungi & bacteria live inside every leaf, without harming the host plant. These "endophytes" likely play an important ecological role, and their metabolites offer an untapped pharmacological resource.

Odorous Frog

Odorous Frog

Rana margaretae is a part of an amphibian community formed by six species living in or around the same stream. The microhabitats vary between these species, and the available resources are partitioned and consumed differently. Tadpoles of the different species forage and graze differently.

Pink-toe Tarantula

Dark colored trantula with pink feet

This tarantula species, a pink-toe tarantula (Avicularia avicularia) in Kourou, French Guiana, is common throughout northern South America, frequently found in dwellings. The coloration reverses around 4-5 years for juvenile specimens: pink bodies with dark-colored feet.

Damselfly

Damselfly on a leaf

Another example of graduate student research—this damselfly (Zygoptera) was photographed in Monteverde, Costa Rica on a field work expedition for a tropical biology course. Seth Kauppinen is studying the ecology of symbiosis between Amazonian trees and leaf-inhabiting fungi.

Butterfly

Blue Butterfly

This butterfly was photographed in French Guiana, where some of the oldest soils on earth support a diversity of endemic life forms. IB grad student Seth Kauppinen works in the Fine Lab where researchers investigate the origin and maintenance of tropical tree diversity.

Climate Change

Climate Change

Todd Dawson focuses on how plants from different ecosystems respond ecologically and physiologically to climatic changes. Using field and greenhouse investigations, analysis of isotope composition of tree-ring cellulose and modeling they'll provide the science needed to guide solution-based management and policy decisions.

Cephalopods

Three Cephalopods with different forms

Like octopus and cuttlefish, cephalopods are masters of camouflage quickly changing color, texture and shape to match their environment. Here, a small octopus from Moorea morphs from a form that conceals it amongst corals to a smoother, lighter version as it jets away over white sand.
