Rupert Anderson Award in Systematics

2010-09-23T14:02:08Z

Jeremy: /* To Apply */

A great way to learn about organismal diversity is to work with a collection. The �鶹��Ƶ Biology Department has several opportunities to work with plant and animal collections! In order to share our insect, plant and vertebrate collections with a larger community we are in the process of organizing and displaying information, including images, about the specimens in our collections on a newly-designed website. This site will serve as a resource for classes at �鶹��Ƶ, the St. Peter community and scientists.

Collections are a vital component of scientific study and education with uses including:
* cataloguing diversity within a taxon,
* recording species found within a particular geographic range, and
* understanding evolutionary change within and between populations.

This award is an opportunity for you to contribute to the department’s educational objectives & learn about a particular taxon.

== To Apply ==
* Contact and meet with one of the faculty members listed below
** Plants: Pamela Kittelson ([mailto:pkittels@gustavus.edu pkittels@gustavus.edu]) or Cindy Johnson ([mailto:cindy@gustavus.edu cindy@gustavus.edu])
** Vertebrates: Jon Grinnell ([mailto:grinnell@gustavus.edu grinnell@gustavus.edu]), Joel Carlin ([mailto:jcarlin@gustavus.edu jcarlin@gustavus.edu]) or Eric Elias ([mailto:eelias@gustavus.edu eelias@gustavus.edu])
** Insects: Margaret Bloch Qazi ([mailto:mqazi@gustavus.edu mqazi@gustavus.edu])
* With your faculty collaborator, develop a short proposal in which you:
*# Clearly state what informational content and how much of the collection will be posted online by the end of the award period (December 12, 2008)
*# Describe what archival work needs to be done to support #1 (above) and what you intend to accomplish in one semester.
*# Submit an itemized budget of no more than $160 to support your work. Money can be used to: travel to see collections at other institutions, purchase supplies to present or archive specimens, and acquire texts related to the collection subject.
* Three copies of the proposal are due to Dr. Bloch Qazi (NHS 329) by ''' 5pm September 19'''.
Students successfully completing the proposed work will be recognized at Honors Day.

Biology Collections

2008-08-26T17:18:52Z

Jeremy: Biology collections moved to Biology Collections

The Biology Department at �鶹��Ƶ curates diverse collections of organisms including plants, vertebrate animals and invertebrate animals.

Collections are assemblages of species of a particular type of organism (e.g. fireflies, fish, ferns, etc.). They are dynamic and grow as newly-collected and donated specimens enter the collection. Collections serve critical roles in fields such as taxonomy, ecology, botany, zoology, conservation biology and evolutionary biology. Several uses include:
* documenting natural morphological variation within a population and changes between populations,
* describing population range sizes,
* demonstrating a species’ presence in a particular environment, and
* assisting in species identification.

The Biology Department collections have been integral to both student learning and scholarship for decades and are used in the following ways:
* Students in Fish & Fisheries (BIO 100) use the fish collection to explore relationships between fish size and age ultimately estimating the age structure of a fish population.
* The insect collection continues to grow as Entomology (BIO 376) students donate specimens from their collections.
* Before conducting independent research projects, students in Vertebrate Zoology (BIO 242) use the collections to identify and learn about local fish, amphibians, birds and mammals.
* In Aquatic Biology (BIO 385), students use the fish collection to identify local fish and understand natural morphological variation in local populations.
On-line presentation of our collections will extend the value of these resources to lay and scientific communities.

Select any of the following links to learn more about one of our collections: plants, vertebrate animals, and invertebrate animals.
