Light traps
You might think that we installed disco lighting in Panguana to celebrate the station's 50th anniversary, but not that's not the case (though it's not a bad idea ....). The colored lights under the treetops belong to a trap that attracts nocturnal insects, especially beetles and moths. In Panguana, nocturnal insect samples are taken regularly to learn more about the diversity and temporal distribution of insects.

Leaf senescence
Leaf senescence is the genetically programmed process in which the plant nutrients are degraded and redistributed from old or useless leaves. These nutrients are stored in other organs or reused in the formation of new leaves that have a higher productivity in photosynthetic activity. The mined leaves fall down and are degraded by soil micro-organisms so far that the plant can recycle this waste as a nutrient. In this way, the plants give us a clear example of optimal reuse and recycling of resources. Let us learn from them!

Camera trap sighting
An Ozelot (Leopardus pardalis) was sighted on March 8, 2018, at 10:40pm. Ozelots are very common within this area, however, only rarely seen. These gracefully moving wild cats are usually solitary and active around twilight and at night. The territories of males are 3.5–46 km² large, while those of females cover 0.8–15 km².
