A new University of Florida and Duke University collaboration aims to do for the tree of life what Google Earth did for navigation. A National Science Foundation grant of nearly $1 million will fund a three-year project to develop software that will make the context of every named and unnamed org
clearly linking those names to evolutionary concepts and associated data, including DNA

Many folks seem to be under the mistaken impression that a herbarium is a place where herbs are grown. Actually, it’s a collection of plant specimens preserved, labeled and stored in an organized manner that facilitates access. You can think of it as a library of dried plant specimens used fo

From massive whale skeletons to the tiniest shrew teeth, our mammals collection preserves a wide variety of specimens from Florida and around the world. Each specimen in a scientific collection provides a snapshot in time that researchers use to ask questions and gather data. As technology advances,

: Ray and Kirk dig Florida Creative Outreach: TreeTender at Dragon Con Cattle DNA

There is very big science happening at our Montbrook fossil dig site, and although we do have a great variety of volunteers and visitors, we had a very special group come for a tour last week. A class of earth science students from a nearby school came over to see what a paleontology dig is all a

Florida Museum of Natural History graduate student Julie Allen recently received the 2009 Best Paper Award from the University of Florida biology department. Allen won the award for her paper on mutualistic bacteria, which live in some insects. The article appeared in the academic journal PLoS ON
“There is a well-known phenomenon in certain bacteria where mutations in the DNA

Ryan St Laurent, a doctoral student at the Florida Museum’s McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, studies an obscure, strange family of moths known as Mimallonidae, or sack-bearer moths. As caterpillars, these insects make houses out of poop, silk and plant material to protect themselves.
technique known as anchored hybrid enrichment can allow researchers to extract as much DNA

Gina Crespo Research Assistant Email: g.crespo@ufl.edu I recently graduated with a B.S. in biology in the college of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Florida. I am interested in studying evolution and genetics. At the Kawahara Lab, I have helped with projects focused on moth
the family Saturniidae, created wing vouchers, and will soon begin to assist with DNA

Lawrence Page, Florida Museum of Natural History curator of fishes, has received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program award to document Thailand’s rich diversity of freshwater fish. The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by former Arkansas Sen. J. William Fulbright
