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
Zygophyllaceae in their natural habitat as possible and start the process of extracting both DNA

Researchers have discovered a common butterfly genus from South America previously believed to contain just three species actually has 12. The international team studying the butterfly genus Zischkaia named one of the nine new species after Andy Warren, senior collections manager of the Florida M
Paraná, Brazil, and the other eight new species were identified using morphology, DNA

Richard Hodel, a biology doctoral student in the Laboratory of Molecular Systematics & Evolutionary Genetics, explains how a recent Nature Scientific Reports study shows red mangroves in Cape Canaveral, Florida, are more closely related to mangroves on the Gulf Coast, not the Atlantic. Hodel

The GRR is a unique collection within the Museum.  It receives, catalogs, and stores tissue samples from our other biological collections and, as such, contains data referencing other collections’ specimens. The GRR includes specimens from the Museum’s Mammals, Herpetology, Ornithology, Invertebrat
The plant samples include tissues from flowers and leaves as well as many DNA extractions

A new analysis of lice genetic diversity suggests that lice came to the Americas twice – once during the first wave of human migration across the Bering Strait, and again during European colonization. Marina Ascunce, who conducted the research at the Florida Museum of Natural History, and colleagues
November 8, 2023 Contact between Europeans and Native Americans is recorded in the DNA

We know our scientists work hard, so we make sure they have time off to relax, see family, and get out of the lab. Apparently vacation doesn’t actually mean they stop working though. This holiday break, Rob Robins waded through Pinellas and Hillsborough counties here in Florida, looking for signs
They took DNA samples of a great many specimens in order to trace the origin of these

Robert Guralnick, curator of bioinformatics at the Florida Museum of Natural History, is a member of an international team that won first place in the five-year XPRIZE Rainforest competition. The winners were announced Friday, Nov. 15 at a summit held in Rio de Janeiro. More than $7 million was awar
members running an onsite genetic lab were able to sequence isolated strands of DNA

In 2012, a crop of California’s most prized ornamental trees was overrun by an invisible invader. The growing shoots of coral beans — the official city tree of Los Angeles — began wilting and falling away, revealing stems that had been hollowed out from the inside by the caterpillars of Erythrina st
Wednesday in the Journal of Applied Entomology reveals the culprit’s origin through a DNA

The Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), a global effort to map the genomes of all 1.8 million known species of plants, animals, fungi and other eukaryotic life on Earth, is entering a new phase as it moves from pilot projects to full scale production sequencing. Pamela Soltis, a plant biologist at the Fl
the world’s plant diversity has been collected and stored in herbaria, but the DNA

The discovery that many Caribbean corals are only distantly related to their counterparts in the Pacific Ocean makes the threats of pollution and global warming trends even more serious, says Florida Museum of Natural History Malacology Curator Gustav Paulay. Paulay, a member of the team that mad
