Jennifer A. Sheridan, PhD, Assistant Curator, Amphibians and Reptiles, Carnegie Museum of Natural History

Curators build collections for a number of reasons, from documenting biodiversity to deciphering evolutionary relationships among species. A discussion of a recent visit to north Borneo will highlight some notable new additions to the Section of Amphibians and Reptiles’ collection, and will share preliminary results of a larger question, namely how does land-use change impact the relationship between primary productivity and biodiversity? The importance of this question, along with other new additions to the Museum collections for future research, will be presented.

This is a Carnegie Discoverers meeting. Membership to the Carnegie Discoverers opens doors to in-depth and up-close experiences with scientists, exhibition designers, and program directors across the museum.
