This accession consists of web content maintained by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) website was crawled on June 11, 2021. The website, available in both English and Spanish, includes general information about STRI and its research programs, conservation initiatives, staff, and facilities. The content represents the time period during which STRI was closed to the public due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Training in Tropical Taxonomy subsite of the STRI website was crawled separately on June 11, 2021. It provides information about past and future training courses offered through STRI's Bocas del Toro Research Station in Panama. It also includes information about the program, instructors, and participants as well as educational resources. STRI's portal for sharing biodiversity data related to Panama was crawled on June 16, 2021. The website represents a partnership with Arizona State University's Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center and provides information about the portal and associated research projects as well as species lists and a glossary. Due to technical issues, much of the data is not included in this accession and interactive and search functions do not function properly. The Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) website was crawled on September 17, 2021. ForestGEO is a multi-institutional program that builds on and expands STRI's global network of forest plots, transforming it into a platform for a broader range of scientific investigations. The website includes information about the forest plots, research programs, and data protocols. It also includes a blog that was launched in March 2014. The data itself is not included in this accession. Due to technical issues, some aspects of the website do not function as expected. The website for the Gamboa Bat Laboratory for sensory and cognitive ecology, led by Rachel A. Page, was crawled on September 17, 2021. The website includes information about projects, researchers, facilities, publications, and public outreach events. A STRI project description page on the Smithsonian Institution's public-facing data repository was crawled on September 17, 2021. The project consists of the location of archaeological investigations in Panama conducted by Richard Cooke. The data is not included in this accession. Materials are in electronic format.
