This paper presents the development process of the Panama Canal Simulation Model (PCSM). The PCSM was developed by The SABRE Group (SABRE) for the Panama Canal Commission (PCC) to be used in assessing pilot working conditions, and as a permanent tool in evaluating canal capacity under different operating conditions.

Four new species and one new subspecies of Opilioacaridae are described from Mexico, Cuba, and Panama. The classification of Opilioacaridae is updated with recognition of the genus Neocarus as separate from Opilioacarus, and by recognition of a new genus, Caribeacarus, with three species from the greater Antilles and Panama. A key to the North/ Central American and Caribbean species of Opilioac...

The ‘‘Panama Hypothesis’’ states that the gradual closure of the Panama Seaway, between 13 million years ago (13 Ma) and 2.6 Ma, led to decreased mixing of Atlantic and Pacific water Masses, the formation of North Atlantic Deep water and strengthening of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation, increased temperatures and evaporation in the North Atlantic, increased precipitation in Northern Hemis...

There have been 179 species of microcaddisflies (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae) recorded from the Republic Panama. Herein we describe 6 new Mount Totumas Cloud Forest and biological reserve, in Río Colorado watershed ( Leucotrichia cultrata, Metrichia akidion, M. plax, Ochrotrichia alma, O. paxilla, petersoni ). In addition, 1 under an informal designation report 4 country records for Panama this ...

The ability of coral reefs to recover from natural and anthropogenic disturbance is difficult to predict, in part due to uncertainty regarding the dispersal capabilities and connectivity of their reef inhabitants. We developed microsatellite markers for the broadcast spawning gorgonian octocoral Eunicea (Plexaura) flexuosa (four markers) and its dinoflagellate symbiont, Symbiodinium B1 (five ma...

Salmonella enterica serotype Panama is capable of causing severe infection in children and is often transmitted via contaminated food. Here, we present the first documented case of serotype Panama infection that was acquired through the consumption of contaminated breast milk. The mother excreted the organism asymptomatically for at least 2 weeks.
