Our Collections

A collection of preserved plant specimens used for research, education, and species identification. Herbarium samples help document plant diversity, distribution, and environmental change over time.

The study of insects is the most diverse group of animals on Earth. Entomologists examine insect anatomy, behavior, ecology, and their roles in ecosystems and human life.

The branch of zoology focused on reptiles and amphibians, including snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs, and salamanders. Research explores their biology, conservation, and evolutionary history.

The scientific study of fish, both freshwater and marine. Ichthyologists investigate fish anatomy, behavior, evolution, and their importance in aquatic ecosystems.

The study of fossilized animals without backbones, such as trilobites, corals, mollusks, and crinoids. It provides insights into ancient ecosystems and the evolution of life on Earth.

The study of mammals, from bats and whales to primates and humans. Mammalogists research the behavior, physiology, evolution, and conservation of these warm-blooded vertebrates.

The study of birds, their anatomy, migration, communication, and ecology. Ornithologists help reveal the roles birds play in ecosystems and monitor environmental health.

The study of parasites and their interactions with hosts. Parasitologists investigate how these organisms live, spread, and impact health, agriculture, and ecosystems.

The study of fossilized animals with backbones, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. It traces the evolutionary history of vertebrate life through deep time.
