The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) is a research institute for basic science in the tropics, dedicated to increasing the understanding of the past, present and future of life in the tropics, and its relevance to human welfare. Research at STRI is conducted by an international staff of 40 scientists, and approximately 500 visiting scientists and students each year. STRI concentrates on basic research, principally in tropical forests and coral reefs, and its research addresses the relationships of organisms to their environment (ecology), and how organisms, communities, and species came to be in the forms we find them today (evolution). The principal areas of STRI research are: tropical diversity and its origins; marine ecology and evolution; ecology and physiology of tropical forests; behavior and adaptive evolution; archaeology, anthropology and human ecology; and paleoecology.
