Melissa Ingala is a biologist cross-appointed with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Center for Conservation Genomics and the National Museum of Natural History’s Department of Vertebrate Zoology. Her research strives to understand the contribution of gut bacteria (the microbiome) to dietary ecology and evolution in mammals. Her research integrates microbiology, ecology, and evolutionary biology to understand how animals adapt to nutritional challenges, both during the past and into the future. Ingala’s projects include:
of bacteria, viruses, and protists associated with bats, as well as innovative models

Twenty-three years after being declared “extinct in the wild”, the scimitar-horned oryx has made a remarkable comeback. Smithsonian ecologist Katherine Mertes shares how the species reached the turning point.
learned from small-scale reintroductions, evaluated potential release sites, and ran models

As part of the Explorations in Engineering program at Foxcroft School in Middleburg, Virginia, students had a rare opportunity to help Smithsonian scientists save two critically endangered species: pangolins and scimitar-horned oryx.
Scientists can use these models to test GPS devices that track animal movements,

Kristina Anderson-Teixeira is a forest ecologist at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute and at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. She leads the Ecosystems & Climate Research Program for the Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO), which is a global network of scientists and forest research sites dedicated to advancing long-term study of the world’s forests, and the world’s only forest monitoring network making standardized measurements in all the world’s major forest biomes.

Andy Boyce is a Research Ecologist at Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Migratory Bird Center. His work focuses on 1) understanding how keystone species and grazing systems impact biodiversity in grassland ecosystems; and 2) what factors regulate populations of imperiled grassland birds at all stages of the annual cycle.
Andy also has a strong interest in understanding how different models of conservation
