Researchers from the University of Florida and six other institutions have unlocked some of the key foundations for the evolution of seed and flowering plants. The study, to be published online Sunday in Nature, is the first to identify the occurrence of ancient genome duplication events and show
Genome duplications result in organisms having twice as much DNA and an extra copy

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

Online Collection Database The >700K specimen lots (2023) available digitally through the online database represent >95% of our collection. Sampled are cataloged with phylum-specific catalog numbers. Specimens from recent surveys are frequently accompanied by tissue samples and images. Tissue
Tissues and genomic DNA are held in cryogenic storage, and most can be accessed online

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,
provide hands-on experience to students learning the ins and outs of fieldwork, 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
DNA sequencing can play a crucial role in providing accurate species descriptions

It’s always lovely to change over to a new year. The DE team started with some mini sessions of department time to reflect on what we worked on in 2023, breaking down our wins and challenges. We then looked ahead at the upcoming year, identifying our internal goals, scheduling anticipated Museum pro
Cattle DNA: Nicolas and the NSF podcast: In the wake of the wildly popular story

Some might say it takes a rare breed to survive the Alaska wilderness. The discovery of a possible new species of hybrid butterfly from the state’s interior is proving that theory correct. Belonging to a group known as the Arctics, the Tanana Arctic, Oeneis tanana, is the first new butterfly
It also has a unique DNA sequence, which is nearly identical to those found in nearby

Native snakes play an important role as natural predators in many of Florida’s ecosystems. Kingsnakes were once common in Paynes Prairie just outside of Gainesville, but are now difficult to find there. Summary Florida Kingsnake (Lampropeltis floridana x getula; Hybrid) From Alachua Co., Florid
It was thought that there was only one species in our state, but recent DNA and morphological
