can’t explain Key points White sharks exhibit stark differences between the DNA
Our biological research initiatives concerning sharks, skates and rays are numerous and diverse, ranging from studies on relative abundance and distribution, to systematics and evolutionary relationships. Diversity of chondrichthyan fishes is a major focus of research at the FPSR, where scientists a

Every year, the Florida Museum’s Department of Natural History awards funding for University of Florida graduate students to help cover the cost of travel associated with their research. After a long year of travel restrictions, the funds were especially helpful to this year’s recipients, many of wh
Although considered a single species, beetleweed populations differ in the amount of DNA

The Herbarium at the Florida Museum of Natural History is run jointly by the Museum and the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Including the associated fossil plant collection, it houses about 500,000 vascular plants, moss and lichen specimens, plus 15,000 wood and 3,
Scientists extract DNA from herbarium specimens to study evolutionary relationships
The Namibian desert located in Namib-Naukluft Park is home to a myriad of plant species within the family Zygophyllaceae. This plant family is the focus of my dissertation project where I am interested in exploring the evolution of leaf succulence and using Zygophyllaceae as a model system. The rang
