Eleodes is a flightless genus of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) endemic to western North America. Commonly called stink beetles, Eleodes are known for their "headstanding" behavior and the noxious chemicals they eject when threatened. This project will open the genus to other disciplines by addressing century-old systematic challenges through a comprehensive phylogenetic research strategy and an innovative, content management system-based data accumulation approach. It will create a virtual specimen-based knowledge environment for Eleodes taxonomy, morphology, and natural history linking specimens, images, and reference works to associated taxonomic, phylogenetic, ontologically annotated anatomical and geographic data. This project will strongly advance our understanding of Eleodes and tenebrionid systematics through focused training of a postdoctoral scholar, a Ph.D. student, and minimally 8-12 undergraduate students. Virtually all data generated will be available through the project web portal and secondarily uploaded to EOL and Morphbank. The scientific community and general public will be engaged through a synergistic extension of Eleodes specimen data and images to the "Southwest Collections of Arthropods Network" (SCAN), the creation of a biodiversity informatics lab module, and by incorporating Eleodes biology and diversity themes into ASU's outreach program, including the development of learning applications and implementation of school and museum activities.

Eleodes是北美西部的Darkling Betles（鞘翅目：Tenebrionidae）的无飞行属。 Eleodes通常称为臭甲虫，以其“前进”行为和威胁时弹出的有害化学物质而闻名。 该项目将通过全面的系统发育研究策略和创新的，基于内容管理系统的数据累积方法来解决世纪历史的系统挑战，从而为其他学科开放该属。它将为Eleodes分类学，形态和自然历史创建一个基于虚拟标本的知识环境，将标本，图像和参考作品与相关的分类学，系统发育，本体论注释的解剖学和地理数据联系起来。该项目将通过重点培训博士学位的博士学位，深刻地提高我们对Eleodes和TenebrionId系统学的理解。学生，最小的8至12岁的本科生。实际上，生成的所有数据将通过Project Web门户网站获得，其次将上传到EOL和Morphbank。科学界和公众将通过将Eleodes标本数据和图像的协同扩展与“ Arthropods Network的西南收藏”（SCAN），生物多样性信息实验室模块的创建以及Eleodes生物学的创建以及将ASU的活动的发展纳入学习和实施，包括生物多样性信息和多样性的发展，并将其整合到了学习和博物馆，并将其纳入了eleodes生物学和多样性。
