Support Mycological Collections Field Museum

项目摘要

The mycological collections at the Field Museum are an important national and international systematic resource, totalling 186,780 specimens. In the past ten years these collections have grown by nearly 55,000 specimens. Almost 40% of the new specimens were added through the activities of Field Museum staff and associates, with the rest added through the acquisition of scientifically important donated and orphan collections. Due to this rapid increase in size, the mycological collections are currently severely overcrowded and poorly accessible to the scientific community. Growth is expected to accelerate because of active field programs and an increase in the size of the mycology group (currently there are six researchers and curators plus six graduate and undergraduate students). In addition to research on the ecology, biodiversity, and distribution of fungi, Field Museum's mycological collections are actively used in teaching and internship programs for high school and undergraduate students. Completion of the planned collection improvement projects will prevent damage to collections threatened by existing overcrowded conditions, allow for anticipated growth, provide improved access and facilities for study by the scientific community including students, and contribute to more efficient collection management. The Field Museum's total cost share for this proposal is over 88% of the total request. -- aÝª ▀ ; áªªá = ÓaOÀ h¢µ +'ª`0 ) ª 0 T x Þ ¹ ¾ ¼ ª + ª p f áááááááááááááááá S u m m a r y I n f o r m a t i o n ( áááááááááááá % % áááááááááááá áááááááááááá áááááááááááá p¸?

现场博物馆的真菌学收藏是重要的国家和国际系统资源，总计186,780个标本。在过去的十年中，这些收藏品的增长了近55,000个标本。几乎40％的新标本是通过野外博物馆工作人员和同事的活动添加的，其余的则是通过收购科学重要的捐赠和孤儿收藏来增加的。由于规模迅速，真菌学的收集目前非常严重拥挤，科学界易于接触。预计由于活跃的现场计划和真菌学小组的规模增加（目前有六名研究人员和策展人，还有六名毕业生和本科生），预计增长会加速。除了研究真菌的生态学，生物多样性和分布外，现场博物馆的真菌学系列还在高中和本科生的教学和实习计划中积极使用。完成计划的收集改进项目将防止对现有人满为患的条件威胁的收集损害，允许预期的增长，提供改进的科学社区学习的访问和设施，包括学生在内，并为更有效的收集管理做出贡献。该提案的现场博物馆的总成本份额超过了总请求的88％。 - aýª； Áªªá=óaoàh¢µ +'ªª0）ª0txÞ。 Áááááááááá如此Ááááááááááááááááááá示áááááááááááááááááááá存在面空它们Áááááááááááááááááá身 O+ e ¾ : ¾ l l l l l l l ¹ ¹ ¹ ¹ ¹ ¹ ß ¹ = ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ O 8 8 8 8 8 & O X ║ ¶ l ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ ¼ l l ¼ ¼ ¼ l ¼ O Û l l l l ¼ O ¼ @ ¼
