The Rubert Anderson Award in Systematics
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 • understanding evolutionary change with and between populations
This award is an opportunity for you to contribute to the department’s educational objectives and learn about a particular taxon.
To apply, contact and meet with one of the following faculty members:
Plants: Pamela Kittelson (pkittles@gustavus.edu) or Cindy Johnson (cindy@gustavus.edu)
Vertebrates: Jon Grinnell (grinnell@gustavus.edu), Joel Carlin (jcarlin@gustavus.edu), or Eric Elias (eelias@gustavus.edu)
Invertebrates: Shawn Dash (insects) ([1]).
