Natural history collections form a crucial physical basis for understanding the diversity and history of life. Often these collections are associated with universities, yet their depth and significance is accessible almost exclusively to practicing researchers. AIM-UP! is an NSF-funded Research Coordination Network (RCN) exploring the use of natural history collections in undergraduate education. | |||
Five themes are proposed for the five years of the project: | |||
*Integrative Inventories: Complex Biotic Associations Across Space and Time | |||
Geographic Variation | |||
*Evolutionary Dynamics of Genomes | |||
*Biotic Response to Climate Change | |||
*Co-evolving Communities of Pathogens and Hosts as Related to Emerging Disease | |||
